Timdawgg has until 11:16am to make 2 picks, until he/both GMs can be skipped by Dons!

With yesterday not ending close to the scheduled time, I'd like to try and stay on track today.

Thank you all!

With the 69th pick in the draft the Toronto Raptors select: Paul Millsap!

I'll be switching mostly Marion to SF when Leonard sits, so I needed a dependable solid power forward.
I think I found one. Millsap will easily fit in my defensively minded group. I thought he might pass on me.

[RodyTur10]

With the 70th pick in the draft the Toronto Raptors select: Robert Williams!

Big surprise, yes! But he doesn't have to play 25 minutes plus a night.
He can just come in and be disruptive as hell.

If he would've stayed healthy after his strong 21/22 season, he probably would have won DPOY sometime.

[Timdawgg]

With the 70th Pick The Philadelphia 76ers select Kevin Love.. Such an offensive beast and rebounder in his Timberwolves days..

With the 71st Pick the Philadelphia 76ers select Marcus Camby...Such a defensive beast and rebounder in his Nuggets days...

[Donoghus]

The Milwaukee Bucks finally take a PG.

Tony Parker

With the 74th pick (I think) in the 8th round of the 2025 CelticsBlog NBA Historical Draft...

The OKC Thunder make a highly controversial pick...

All-NBA 3rd team this year in 2017-18, #2 in Win Shares with 14 behind only Lebron, .230 WS/48, 30% defensive rebound rate, 42.1% on 3's and 58.5% on 2's.

Not very good on defense, but he can play C and wreak havoc on other teams' 2nd units, or play PF with Rudy (proven to be an elite defense in those Minnesota years on a Conference finals team).

Karl Anthony Towns!


Stretches the floor, allows for a high efficiency 5 out offense with KAT, EM, KD, Klay, and SGA, or
Gives you more punch and perimeter in the starting unit with Rudy, KAT, KD, Klay, SGA

At #74 I love the value even despite his warts. KAT, Vince, and Kidd anchor the 2nd unit offense.

Sorry, just realized I'm on the clock. Feel free to skip me. I'm on the road and I don't have access to my list. Will pick later. No big deal.

[Moranis]

I have no issue waiting to make my pick.
