Dirk was a fantastic and expected pick. He was the 2nd guy on my obvious list aside from Blake. Surprised he fell this far.

ps: people have been making real smart picks so far. looking forward to rest of draft :)


LOL Reach? Dude, he's hands down the best PF in the league and could go down as the greatest one day. Great pick! Happy building to ya!

Love is a beast, I'm a Clippers fan and I will tell you Love (FOR NOW) is a slight notch above Griffin. Hell I was trying to trade for kneega's pick to pick him at #7.

Check out his numbers, ridiculous... As soon as he got a little bit of help, just a tiny bit he almost took those T'Wolves into the playoffs.

Solid pick.


more then a "slight" notch above griffin

Just as surprised as you, I was almost certain it was too good to be true and NewEra was going to hit me where it hurts.

Very satisfied with this pick.


I would have and could have but knew I shouldn't so I didn't. lol

It's just my style of building and being a vet in this thing I know how important securing a defensive big is. Bynum is playing out of his mind and he seems to have gotten over the injury bug. At the level he's playing he'll be a furue HOF'er for sure. He was my guy all along unless Griffin fell. Not to mention, he's only 24.


It was a good pick, and you're right having someone you can throw the ball into the post is certainly important.

Bynum certainly had an allstar year, and his best year up to date.

My only beef with Bynum is his injury history makes me question his longevity... And although he is 24, he has SEVEN seasons in the league... That is a ton of mileage, then add in the injuries...

At this point Irving has shown no glaring weaknesses or holes in his game. At pick #14 he is as efficient as you can get for a young player with a ton of upside and on a cheap rookie deal. I'm running with the OKC philosophy.

Kyrie was also my sleeper pick, the only knock on him is that he is young meaning no big game/playoff experience. But still a good pick.

This is fun. I get to see how y'all would build the Knicks from ground up if you were in charge.

I like that many of us have different philosophies for how to build a team from the ground up. It makes for more interesting reading, at least for me.

its more along the lines like when we are being judged people like to harp on about him never being in the playoffs and wolves not being that great

Yeah true. However I overlooked that and didn't put much stock into it because there are a ton of vets and other young star players who lack that big game playoff experience as well.

Hey, I was really blown away by how he almost put up Nash efficiency #'s in his rookie year 50/40/90 percentages in the FG%/3PT%/FT% categories (just falling short).

This kid does his thing yet does it quietly, LOL
