Damn shame that Yao is only eligible from 2003-05, because 06-09 Ming would be a really formidable force out there, alongside LeBron and McHale. Still a very good player, but not in his prime yet.

Only 2 more picks until mine, and I think my choice might get very hard. I'm surprised at who is still available. It's a shame we can't discuss guys who haven't been picked here, although I totally understand why.

Although I was surprised that Pau went so high given that he's coming off of the bench, I can't say that I'm surprised at Manu being gone. Even though we're creating star-studded teams, everyone cannot play 48 minutes a game, and Manu is one of the GOAT bench players.

You're up batmana.

there's a couple players I'm surprised haven't been picked yet but there's one that I am stunned (stunned, I say!) hasn't been selected.

I went with yao because even at his younger age he still was pretty advanced player skill wise compared to what was left. Not to mention before the injuries he was athletically at his quickest and was still a strong player who is good defensively. Also was decent in the closer midrange early in his career.

Not to mention holy verticality batman lol

You're up.

Batmana taking Paul George is pretty baffling to me. No doubt this year's George, or even 2013 playoff George is great, but I certainly wouldn't take him as high. In 2012, he was still only a 12/5.5 guys with 16.5 PER and 55.5% TS, but he regressed big time in the postseason that year. I'm not sure if judges will be too high on him, but it's not my business. I just think he's still a little unproven, compared to the other guys you could possibly take.

Well, it's a 3-year period so I'm not just taking 2012 Paul George. I guess each one of us is putting their own ideas and fit ahead of taking the best player available, that's how there are one or two guys who are still undrafted that could have been taken as early as the start of the 2nd round.

Im not gonna lie I considered this too and if I selected mutumbo in round 2 which I was considering I might have made this pick because george was very good defensively in his whole stretch and even if you take the mean of the offense he's still a good 3 and D player.

Great pick Sagittaron. Could we call it a draft steal?

I don't think Worthy is a steal at that point, but Sagittaron having Magic to pair with him certainly IS a steal.

Together they're great to have, no doubt. He's going to be well-received with this duo.

There are two guys still undrafted who are so obvious that maybe people forgot they hasn't been drafted yet? :lol:

With guys like Yao and Manu, their minutes have to be managed. It's one of the reasons why Manu isn't a starter since he can only give 28-30 minutes whereas other guys can contribute 7-8 minutes more. But on a per minutes basis, Manu is a great pick. But it's ok since he replaces the starting center in the line-up in the 4th quarter where Duncan then moves to the center spot.

whitehops · Post #413 » by **whitehops** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 6:25 pm

yeah I wouldn't call worthy a steal but definitely a good pick.

O_6 · Post #414 » by **O_6** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 6:40 pm

I'm definitely surprised at a few of the players left on the board. My round 3 pick was really a toss-up between a certain player left on the board and Penny. And there are some other highly decorated players still available.

For my 4th pick I already have my eyes set on one player who I know will be considered a reach but I feel is a great fit for my team.

batmana · Post #415 » by **batmana** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 6:47 pm

I think almost everybody is putting a lot of weight on fit... One particular player that hasn't been drafted yet has probably suffered from everybody (including myself) doubting he can adjust to being the second option...

Apart from him, there are at least two high-profile players that I could have sworn would have been taken by now...

Notanoob · Post #416 » by **Notanoob** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 6:50 pm

Man, you guys are making this hard. I had a number of guys in mind for this pick, but 3 guys I wanted are still there! I have to try and figure out if one of them will drop to my next pick, or who is most likely too, and the difference between them and the next best option. I'm sorry, but I'll have to take some time to pick. Check back in ~ 2 hours (I've got a class to go to).

whitehops · Post #417 » by **whitehops** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 6:56 pm

there is a laaarge gap in between my next pick and my following one, meaning I'm probably going to go for BPA since the pickin's will be a lot slimmer at the end of the fifth round.

gah I hate drafting on the turn

MisterHibachi · Post #418 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 7:09 pm

I think there's at least 3 guys on the board, at least there are for me, who are shocking still not drafting. Funny thing would be if the 3 were all the same for everyone haha. I know who I'm going for next but I doubt he'll be there. Still my second choice was my first until I realized the first guy was still shockingly undrafted.

HeartBreakKid · Post #419 » by **HeartBreakKid** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 7:12 pm

Last three picks have been pretty surprising.

Actually, Paul George isn't a surprising pick, but I kinda forgot about him since he wasn't really a priority for my team.

MisterHibachi · Post #420 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Jan 9, 2014 7:13 pm

Worthy was an absolute steal, especially for a team who already had Magic!
