I think Silas will be a good player for my team. He can also provide DAT LEADERSHIP and coaching :D

I've almost picked a Kemp the last couple of times. He was one of my favourite players growing up.

Blah, I wanted Kemp too... figured he'd fly under the radar a bit because he wasn't really up to HOF snuff. For a few minutes? Absolutely.

    If he could have kept his head straight I think he could have gotten there.
    He had developed a good outside shoot to go with that freaky athleticism and strength. Pity he was weak minded.

      Sexual escapades, sure, but Wilt never had any kids.

      Kemp on the other hand....

        I love this tweet from Rex Chapman about the article.

        lamar, i think i could spend a solid week watching the videos on your youtube channel.

        i'm gonna hit the muggsy bogues 19 assist game next.

        and speaking of random games, recently espn showed a replay of the 1-11-1984 game between the nuggets and spurs. score was like 160 to 150. there was no defense played in that game what-so-ever. kiki vandeweghe was on fire.

        i had been saving my single digit category for LJ. my past pick i was deciding between kemp and LJ for my backup PF behind barkley. i finally went with kemp because i felt he would be a better fit behind barkley as he brings something entirely different to the mix, whereas LJ was so similar to a young barkley.

        Hah, I was waiting for Oak to get taken. He's a guy I wouldn't mind having on the end of my bench, but there's not much of a place for him on the court against these teams.

        time to make a spreadsheet as some of the categories i have left are getting thinner than i would like.


        The first thing I did after signing up for this draft was spend like 2 to 3 hours of making a large Excel document. I update it pretty often. Probably I've spend too much time on it, since you can manage without it, but still it's pretty useful.

        I really didn't think anyone would take Mark Jackson for a while. I'm running out of "Droppin Dimes" guys, not that I need one. I wish I could move Cousy to that category now.
