[LOJ]

Another very impressive player who had a very good rookie season. An amazingly efficient shooter, that can run an offense, and is a little bull dog. Reminds me a lot of Mugsy Bones (not just because he is small lol)

I know lots of you Knicks fans like to hear this name (even though it's spelled differently)

Isaiah Thomas: .574 TS% , got more playing time during the second half of the season like a lot of my other rookies. Another future great player in this league.

As soon as the Kings started him over Eddy Curry they started winning games, and the offense started running much more fluidly. A good 3 point marksman which we will need to punish when they double my team in the post.

The Golden State Warriors select.. PG, "Sweet" Lou Williams.

[Jose7]

coolkids is UP

[CoolKids]

With the 106th pick the sixers select Chris Kaman

13.1 ppg 7.7 rpg 1.6 bpg 29mpg

Known for his post offense, Kaman is quietly one of the better post defenders in the league, Kaman also provides a agreat rebounding force as well as an ability to score in the post and hit jumpers out to 15 feet. Kaman's wide base and rebounding ability as well as ability to spread the defense will be huge for creating room for Aldridge to operate in the paint.

BALL-HANDLING & PASSING...

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Lamar Odom...


...and Khloe Kardashian


Lamar Odom has assured us the time he spent away from the game has allowed him to refocus and come in with a clear head. He's ready to get back to playing winning basketball. However, a blessing in disguise is the limited amount of games he played during the lockout-shortened season allwoed him to avoid the condensed schedule. Therefore, enabling him to rest his body, a luxury most players couldn't afford.

At age 32, Odom is a young, grizzled veteran that has been through the rigors of the NBA playoffs. One of the best all-around forwards in the game, Odom is a unique talent who is extremely versatile both offensively and defensively.

* His last full season he won NBA Sixth Man of the Year on efficient percentages for a forward:
53% FG, 38% 3PT, 68% FT,

* He also boasts impressive career averages of:
14 PTS, 9 REBS, 4 ASTS, 1 BLK, and 1 STL.

Odom is long, athletic, and quick for a 6-10 forward. He is the ultimate team player, as evidenced by his willingness to sacrifice his ego and minutes to come off the bench as a 6th man in the past. However, we feel he is equally effective as a starting PF giving us an additional ball-handler/ball-mover with size on the wing, as well as an excellent passer out of the high-post. His ability to also knock down a 3pt shot also will allow us to keep the floor spaced for Kyrie Irving to operate and attack the paint with open lanes. Lastly, Odom is a versatile defender capable of guarding all five positions on the court.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, are proud to select...



Jonas Valanciunas!!!!


We've had our eyes set on Val in the 4th round since we took Wall and Griffin in the 1st. Hard to the gauge the guys value, but he has tremendous upside for a 4th round pick. He was the #5 overall pick in last years draft despite still being under contract in Europe. Val is coming to the NBA this upcoming season, and has drawn comparisons to Rubio both in upside at their respective positions and their ability to contribute to an NBA roster immediately. At over 7 feet tall, Val is most respected as a tremendous defender, but has a rapidly improving post game and jump shot. Val just turned 20 years old a couple of weeks ago, and has superstar potential.

With a core of Wall-Griffin-Valanciunas, the Wolf Pack is ready to make a playoff run this upcoming season, and has the ability to the be the next great NBA dynasty.

[Jose7]

The Charlotte Bobcats select, PF, Taj Gibson.



The perfect complement to DeMarcus Cousins. He’s a gritty and nasty defender and a shot blocker as well. great rebounder. He’ll make our defense better overall and allow Cousins to guard centers where he is more effective rather than power forwards. Good finisher at the rim and a solid jumpshot and he doesn’t need the ball to be effective. He’ll be a shoe in for a nightly double double.

Career Averages when he plays over 30-39 minutes (38 Games – 11.3ppg/9.7rpg/1.8bpg/49FG%) and these numbers go even higher when he plays over 40 minutes a game.

With the 110th Pick in the BAT 7.0 Draft, the Detroit Pistons Select...

JEFF TEAGUE

A jet quick and super athletic PG, Teague is one of the best defensive points in the game with the ability to play lockdown defense. In his 1st real season as the starting PG for the Hawks, Teague showed the ability to get an offense setup early and is developing into an exciting play maker. Defense alone makes Teague a great fit but Teagues ability to step up in the playoffs (where his performance so far in 2 seasons has been even better than his regular season play) really makes him an exciting pick for us.

Pacer select Gordon Hayward with the 112 overall pick



Kid with fit in perfectly with the pacers. BB IQ is really good. Can stroke it from anywhere on the court. Can make the pass too. Doubled almost all his numbers from 1st year to 2nd year. Has upside. Averaged almost 12 pts 3.5 rb 3 assists .8 stl .6 blk as a second year. Had a subpar first playoffs but it was only his first postseason and was against the spurs who make everyone look bad with their mistake free b ball. The real life thunder is showing that a young core can work and im looking for my team to do the same

[Context]

With the 113 & 114 the pick the Thunder select:

Kawhi Leonard and Avery Bradley

[smha201]

With the 115th pick in the BAT 7.0 Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select:

SG Danny Green


A coldblooded shooter from both 3-point land & inside as well as a willing & able passer with defensive prowess, Danny Green is quickly proving his worth as a valuable young piece of the puzzle in the Spurs' playoff performance. The Cavaliers welcome him to play alongside Russell Westbrook.

[br7knicks]

With the #116 pick in the BAT 7 draft, the Wizards select:

Spencer Hawes





A very young, versatile big man that loves defense and aggression. He should've been a UFC fighter.
