I was really considering taking B. Lopez with my pick, but I just didn't want to risk it. Solid pick though.

Welp... This may be dumb for passing up on Lowry, but I'm going to pull a TASTIC and take Drummond (need a big) and Bledsoe (really wanted Dragic to slip).

Via PM, Qwigglez selects...

Kyle Lowry!

Proof (other preferences in case Lowry was gone redacted for confidentiality):

Anyone with an upcoming 3rd rounder up for trading down in the third and up in the fourth for my almost-back-to-back picks? Figured I'd post the offer one more time in case anyone missed it the first time around and feels compelled

Maystack · Post #86 » by **Maystack** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:01 pm

I might consider it. The guy I want to take next is a bit of a risk, so he might slip down that far.

Cool, just let me know if you want to do a straight 3rd/4th swap - your pick is in the range I'm interested in

Argh, I dunno. Now I'm re-considering if I even want that player. This would be so much easier if I had any sort of drafting plan.

Good pick. I was gonna take Drummond, but his free throw percentage scared the crap out of me. In his last month of play he was getting a high number of free throw attempts but didn't shoot above 50% in any game, and I could see his FT's going up to 6-8 attempts per game this season. Other than that though, his FG% is extremely high, and his upside is huge. He also hasn't had any injury concerns like my pick with Brook Lopez (and can rebound).

Plus he's very enjoying to watch. I owned him last year, and aside from the beast stats I really liked watching him play.

^without a doubt. He was gonna be my pick for the longest time, I even told my gf that I was selecting him (she doesn't care and has no clue what I'm talking about). Then I realized his FT% was worse than Dwight Howard's, and I could see him getting hacked a lot more.
Now I'm kinda debating my 3rd round pick because there was someone else I really liked and I never really like to get guys who just signed new contracts as their production will hardly ever have the same output, plus Lowry's career stats aren't solid.

I owned Drummond last season in D-league...

and he was my pick 22 this year but ... I need 20ppg Big.

Drummond will be 15 rebound a game big men this year I think... assuming Monroe sits out longer minutes.
Maybe 12 points and 1.5-1.7 blocks... at 60% FG.

Kyler Murray · Post #95 » by **Kyler Murray** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:52 pm

I also owned lowry last year :lol:

I don't believe that he could have such a subpar production that wouldn't net him at least 3rd round value so I wouldn't worry that much. Funny thing is I actually traded Thabo for Kyle be4 the season started and noone even cared, then after one month everyone was screaming at me that I ripped off the other guy :lol:

Thanks. I'm hoping his FTA don't go up too much and Durant's offset it somewhat. Here's to hoping at least.

Oh yeah, I forgot you had Durant, lol. That should definitely help offset his FT's.
Wish this draft process would start to speed up.

well I'm asuming we are in a similar time zone... we'll be lucky to pick tomorrow or in other words in another 20-24 hours.

Live in Oregon now. So I might have to lurk the Blazers board and become a fan
