Wow, can't believe one player is still on the board. Really hoping he continues to fall.
there's one that really stands out to me.  curious if he's the guy you'll be taking with your pick

No idea where Enzzo is, so I'll make his picks.

Yesterday's (5.10) pick: Darren Collison
Today's (6.10) pick: Timofey Mozgov

I want to kick you right now.

Remember when DeAndre Jordan was considered a poor man's Javale McGee?  How the mighty have fallen.

Not sure if McGee was every mighty.

well all the people I considered for my pick have now gone off the board.  I did really want Brewer though.  Thought he would have been a nice addition and I was hoping AK47 was going to slip through the cracks till next round, oh well.

He was mighty overrated for a couple seasons.   :)

But very good value for a 6th pick I think.


Or considered better the DeAndre

In the very first Pick 2 draft (2010?) I took DeAndre around now and it was generally criticized as a reach.  Meanwhile Javale was actually a keeper once or twice.

Well he didn't get that extension based on the smell of his shoes, and someone whose job depended on it gave him that money, and then someone traded for him ( before abandoning the sinking ship). He had huge potential.

I'll admit this is funny, so I'm gonna move this to general commentary.

The Detroit Pistons select Wilson Chandler

Liam Neeson'd.

Nice one dude.
new catchphrase for the draft.  TP

makes me feel very proud of myself that I had Brewer at the top of my board for this round   ;D

Seeing as this is a bit of an experimental year, I've been considering a small addition to the end of the draft that I would like feedback on.

I propose having a round of voting for superlatives. There will be a set number of categories, and each GM can vote for a team that matches each superlative by sending a PM to me (can't vote for your own team of course).

The advantage of superlatives is that there are no defined "losers," preserving the laid-back atmosphere of the Pick 2 going forward in future years.

Categories could include:
Best overall team
Team of the future
Best defensive team
Best offensive team
Most athletic team

If you think this is a good or bad idea, please reply to this post saying so.

Good idea. Why not throw in some more exotic categories, such as Craziest Team, Team Most Likely to Get in a Fight, or Most Hate-able Team (Hi Miami)?

As much as I love Giannis, I can't help but think it's a bit early for him to be selected. Then again, when he is an All-Star two years from now, I'll probably need help dislodging my foot from my mouth.

Well, in a draft where a guy like Wade ends up not a keeper, I'm not sure how much this proves.

I've never liked McGee.



EDIT: Not saying it's a bad pick for this stage of the game.

Three guys ahead of me. One guy I really want. This is going to be a nail-biter.
