Thanks I wonder why Rudy didn't last in the NBA.


Heard he was arrogant and had character issues? I remember it getting out that because he was good overseas he thought he should be getting star treatment in PDX. Not sure how credible that is though... He was def. talented!

I'm heading to bed. I got a 2 person list that I don't think anyone will care being name dropped as using my exemption. Anyone can pick for me this way...

Radmonovic is a nice bench piece, but I sort of regret not taking Jaric. Plays all three perimeter positions, and that's damned valuable in this draft.

Ness, that's not the guy I was referring to, but solid pick.

Yeah, I noticed Jaric in this game and others. I remembered his versatility from NBA 2K games lol. Players that can play 1-3 are so neat. And those rare ones that can play 1-4 are even kooler!

Moute was a nice pick, MadNESS. He was definitely somebody I was considering. You have a pretty good team overall.

KN, Hooplah, Ness, and Timmay stand out to me, though not everyone has used their exception.

I decided to go with Harkless with Moute being off the board so not a bad alternative imo. I needed a pretty good wing defender which my team was lacking and Harkless fit that bill..great length/athleticism.

I got confused by the other draft and thought Moute was already picked :( Harkless would have been another good one but I didn't realize he was eligible. Must have just missed him on the list.

I should have held off on KG seeing as everybody either used their exemption or built their team around other positions.

I'm regretting using my exception so early. My initial plan was to save it but the early run on elite guards spooked me. This is the same mistake I made in the And One draft. :banghead:
