I was hoping NF33IH would pick one of the two players I was thinking about so I wouldn't have to make a hard decision, but he didnt. :lol:

So I'll choose...Chris Bosh. I'm thinking he'll come close to his numbers in his raptor days as the focal point of the heat offense. He just better grab more than 6 freaking rebounds per game. I hope I made the right decision.

Ulquiorra and I have just agreed to swap our 3rd and 4th rounders. Will update posts shortly once I enter Superhuman's pick.

Looked at him myself...but I need boards at this point and Vucevic gives me that. Too many questions with what Bosh may or may not do.

Updated the trade announcements, draft order, and Yahoo to make it official

Yeah that's my concern with him and I'm kind of regretting it. But I read an article on Bosh and supposedly he's bulking up and going to be banging in the post more this year and being a focal point on offense. Last year he just camped out in mid range or from threes so he had no chance for offensive rebounds, but I think that should change this year. I'd be happy with 8 RPG.

Yeah, Bosh feels like a good pick at this point - I think LeBron leaving will help his stats, too

For sure. I read the same article. It was the ONLY reason I considered him as I really can't stand him, lol. But Vucevic does what I need and hopefully improves even more with his young team. Originally I was going to take Noah in the 2nd round but when he got nabbed I went another direction and took the Dragician. I was tossing up actually drafting Drummond instead of Goran, but figured I could get him with my next pick, obviously that failed along with my backup plan of Jordan. So I went with my backup, backup plan. :wink:

Well this is is tough. There are a couple players I've got on exactly the same level in terms of stat projection this season, so I'll take the one I like best of the 2.

Gimme Batman plz

Post #112 » by **Miklo** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 2:55 pm

Thanks Kerrsed, and Maystack you are officially on my *** list :lol:

I had my sights set on Lawson with that trade so that I didn't end up in the pits on certain categories...Conley is a good enough consolation prize but my preference list was really like

1) Lawson
...
...
...

2) Conley

Safety Pickle · Post #113 » by **Safety Pickle** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:01 pm

I'll take Kawhi Leonard

SunZel · Post #114 » by **SunZel** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 7:28 pm

Monta Ellis

Sorry bro! It was actually a pretty tough pick for me. I almost took Batum, and I was considering reaching or trading down for a riskier player, but I figured Ty was still on the board and I need a PG.

I think he's waiting so long so he can decide whether or not to take Jimmer. Right?

I'm usually super active here, but it's just so happened that I had a gf situation the same time my turn was up to draft. I'll pick soon.

Kyler Murray · Post #119 » by **Kyler Murray** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:45 am

I know i have Horford already but damn, I can't pass him up THIS late. I'll take Millsap.
