Yeah, there's no reason for him to still be around, either.

I like it. Solid summer league. Probably too weak to play much right away though, he's only like 170 pounds soaking wet despite being 6'10, but a great investment.

Jeez a lot of double picks today.

I'd encourage folks to use the "Control F" function on the first page of the thread, to do a search.

It's no big deal usually, I'd just hate to see somebody make a double selection and then get jumped.

Yea I've been doing it since round 9, but it hasn't really happened a lot before today.

cause it got updated the day before :D

there's alot of guys that aren't crossed off, easy to miss em when scratching up a list if your in a hurry

well ctrl+f the whole name won't help the player list since they are last name, first name.  While the picks taken are first name last name.

I like this pick a lot in the 11th. Of course, Houston's GM also has an obvious bias towards 6'10" small forwards. (Well, and combo guards.)

When I wanted to move up I told people there was going to be value in the 11th. Some even voiced their displeasure by calling my offers "crappy".

I like my guys. I like the different set of skills I have for my coach to use. I like the youth and potential for further development. I like the guys that are stars now and can make this team a playoff team now. It's not winning a championship this year but in 2-3 years I wouldn't say it was beyond going very, very deep in the playoffs.

Thanks 16th pick in the draft. 7'1" wingspan Forward who did well in the Vegas Summer league. He's excited to get the backup SF minutes in Chitown.

right, but the problem is the way we vote, thats a tough sell for people.

IT helps if the guy gets run now that we re-eval, but there's a fine line between guy who has NBA stats to point at and rookie tearing up the summer league when your writing about your future.

It's why i've laid off 2-3 rooks picked in the second round. with no stats in the NBA to back them up, its a very tough sell the way we vote. people assume your fluffing them up (even if your not, i like your picks)
