2020 Historical Draft Thread: Draft over. Playoffs coming soon!

[gouki88]

Forgot about the sped up draft clock times.

What Nick said about grabbing a great 6th man before rounding out your starting lineup struck quite a chord with me. I'm 95% sure the guys I was looking at for my center spot will (for the most part) be available next round. For that reason, I was left with quite a few questions about who I was going to pick.

Well, now I have my answer.

The LA Clipper select... Deron Williams

[wdleehi]

I have a pick ready.   I am waiting for a response on a possible trade.  I will pick at 11:07

[Moranis]

Deron is a fantastic pick

I was kinda shocked he's fallen this far, but then again, so have a lot of All-NBA guards. Deron was my favourite though. His Utah days were awesome

I was hoping to grab Deron.  Back to the drawing board.

So there are 5 players I'm wondering when they'll get drafted.  Each on the basis of their talent should have already been drafted but I'm guessing all have at least a few critics for various reasons.  Two are former Bruins, one a Blue Devil, one a Tar Heel, and one a Hoya.  I'm interested to see who will nab one of these highly talented players before it's too late.

No Tigers?

Haha!

Yeah, I mistakenly thought he'd already been drafted.

Interestingly, while there has been 1 UCLA Bruin drafted in this round, there are still three available that I think were better than 2000's Reggie.

It seems like teams are going for complementary talent at this point, leaving better players still on the board.  That might be the right move, though.  It's just interesting to me, because I could probably field a team starting from scratch at this point and be just as competitive as nearly every team that already has drafted 4 rounds of players.

Agreed. Brilliant pick. Deron and Chauncey were my two favourite PGs after the Curry, Kidd, Payton guys were gone. To get Deron so late - in the 5th round - is a steal.

[Donoghus]

Deron was definitely a binky of mine.  Especially in his Utah days.   Was also a member of the Redeem Team.

I loved watching those Utah teams. They were my favourite team outside of Boston to watch in the league at that time. Deron made them hum. Beautiful to watch.

Everyone Halt. Draft suspended temporarily.

When making a major trade that involves a pick, you can't send it to me when the pick is due. I can't process the trade quick enough. THIS WAS IN THE RULES.

I have to now sort this out so let's hold the draft right now.

They had so many guys I liked. Kinda disappointed me that they never won anything, they had a bunch of great guys, and a couple who were definitely ahead of their time

The anxiety is killing me. LOL.

Can I go while we wait?

Deron was actually the guy gouki recommended to me in the 4th round to get. I did fell in love with LMA eventually, but yeah, he would have been a nice get.

Nice pick up.

[wdleehi]

Sorry.   Didn't mean to break the draft.
