So until 8:24 not weird people time. I had Gasol pegged before the draft as the guy I'd want. Disappointed he's not there.

Exactly.

This is a game for fun, no winner gets a prize. Don't let others dictate your pick or force you to pick a player that you don't really want. Build the team you want, not the one that the peanut gallery would approve of.

You don't like Dame Ill?

I the guy. He's great both on and off the court. He really gets shafted sometimes IMO. That Blazers team really sucks, but he's lead them to the Playoffs almost 2 years in a row now (I'm assuming the Kings won't catch them this year).

Of course I like Dame. The only reason he not winning cause the Blazers Front Office Built a TERRIBLE team around him.That front court is disgusting. Im not trading him cause I don't like him. I had Dame once before so that has something to do with it,plus other players I like were not worth to be picked at that Spot per sey so I went with BPA,I picked him cause I like him, but also if a team in the 20's wanted to talk trade. We can do that.

Oh, okay cool then. I misread the wording of what you were saying. I thought you were saying you're looking to move him because he's not a player you like. My bad. :lol:

--Mags

P.S. I'm always open for trades with anyone.

People build "Their" team.... that's why I went with my pick. I'm not going consensus. I wanna experiment in this BAT. See what the hell I end up with. That's what makes this fun. So I agree Mecca.

Says the Guy who said Booker was a Massive Reach. What position do you hold in the peanut gallery? Captain or LT. Funny **** is if you know who was picked in the top 10 you would have a bunch of **** to say.

However, in a game like this I don't know if you can use a 1st round pick for him. Draymond is almost in the perfect situation in Golden State because he's the 3rd best player on that team. I don't know if you can pick him in the first round in BAT and make a championship team or contending team out of it.

With that being said, you could probably say that about most of the picks outside of the top 10 and I'd like to see someone make a really good team with Dray as their first pick just because there's a ton of different directions you can go because of how multi-faceted he is so it will be an interesting team to follow from here on out.

The thing is he has some good picks thanks to trading down and forward is an area which quality players are actually rare so investing your highest pick on the position with most scarcity is not a bad strategy, can argue there is a better forward than him talent wise but he comes with his own doubts which are more than Dray, also Dray is pretty versatile which gives you more flexibility with your later picks like lining him up either as center or forward

Also just noticed saying i can play him at C or PF..um what about PG? ohh its happening

How do we judge players that are currently injured but are scheduled to make a return later this season.

He was a reach, but I'm not going to @ him or insult him for his pick. I'm still going to comment on picks, but not going to belittle someone for a selfection unless it's a rival.

And yeah, remember when I said you know who wasn't top 20 and you thought I was off my rocker? :lol:

as long as its not a season ending or career ending injury or if the player isn't injury prone it shouldn't take too much of that into consideration.

You really allowed pick trading? Pick trading is cancer. Especially when I'm convinced half of you are some species of subhuman. Aka New Yorkers.

Just like in past BaT's, judges will look at injured players/injury prone players and will judge their teams regular season accordingly. If your team makes the playoffs and the player is due back by the postseason then the injury will not factor into the judging.

Nah I don't think he should be belittled.

on the other thing...That was early in the season, so I gave my dude some respect. It is what it is at this point in the season.

I'm going to need some time to decide. My phone is about to die and I don't want to panick pick Devin Booker.

yeah that threw me off big time. I was in between 4 players. Gasol was one. But now im in between 3.

I want to make this pick for sure. Part of me really wants too. I think I have too. Just give me 5 to think this through.

Funny. My mock draft had you taking Gasol.

Same here with him.
