Watson is a good pick.

[dang], that was my pick at 26. Anyway:

The Detroit Pistons select Earl Watson

Giving me:

Kaman
Okafor
Turkoglu
Richardson
Watson

and Jason Terry as a 6th man.

I needed a pure point, and Watson had 6.8 apg in 29 minutes. Not bad for a 6th round pick.

Great pick... i only picked Delonte ahead of him b/c (a) i love Delonte as a person and (b) A watson/iverson backcourt was a little too small.  Watson might be the better pure PG, but Delonte is 6-4 to Wests 6-1.

Watson is a vastly underrated PG, IMO.

Nice pick.  I was torn between him and Warrick.  Great value there, especially for a guy who plays well in limited minutes (30 mpg).

Lol, the funny thing was I was going to pick Warrick here too. Thanks for making my decision easier  ;D

The last two picks were nice. I really wondered where they would go. Brook Lopez especially.

Also, the Players Available list is completely updated

Thanks, I really like him as a reserve to Brewer.  Ronnie plays about 24-30 solid minutes of tough defense and efficient scoring in the flow of the game, Parker provides a great complement with more tough defense, great perimeter shooting, and all around smart play.

It was a coin toss between the two in Round 4 when I eventually went with Brewer, so to also get Parker some 50 picks later is great.

Oh geez, I knew this was coming.

It's a good thing he didn't pick Watson there, otherwise I'd be the dead one.

Rumors are Parker is going to sign overseas.
