The draft order was determined at random.org and is as follows

As discussed, we'll have one round per day. Each of the four picks each day will have it's own window. Round one will be tomorrow.

1) 5am - 11am
2) 11am - 4pm
3) 4pm - 8pm
4) 8pm-Midnight

If you miss your window, you don't lose your pick but other coaches can pick as their windows open. You may come in at any time after your window has expired and make your pick, but of course other coaches may have chosen players and they will not be available to you.

I am not sure I will be around in the morning for the time slot so I am going to go ahead and make my pick so I don't hold anything up/miss my window...

I take Magic Johnson

I'm going with Lanier then, although there were some tempting choices still around.

Thanks Rex for taking my option 1 and option 2.

Guess I will take a top 50 all time NBA player, the greatest rebounder in the history of history. A true force on the defensive end, the agitator, the Worm, Dennis Rodman

Probably going to be considered a reach, but I want this combination of defense, rebounding, playmaking, shooting, and DNA.

Draymond Green

I'll take Chris Webber. I love his passing and mid-range game paired with Magic plus his ability to fast break and even push the ball himself.

Ben Wallace is going to nut punch all of you (well, all but one of you) for getting passed over at least 4 times.

I think he'd spare me the nut punching. He'd admit Lanier was better, and that he's only a fit at the 5, so he wasn't a good option for my team.

The other three are screwed though haha

A nut punching sounds like no fun. I'll take him here. :lol:

Also, let's keep the discussion in the other thread, please.

Well if Ben Wallace is going to try to start nut punching, I think I need a player to make him think twice about it. I am torn between 3 people here but give me Bill Laimbeer

Now I *am* a Bill Laimbeer fanboy, I love that curmudgeonly thug, but if an angry Ben Wallace headed his way, he'd backpedal himself right out of the arena.

You don't mess with Ben. Ask the Artist Formerly Known as Artest.
