Any chance that Chicago *doesn't* take it's 20+ minutes here?

I don't, some people plan their days around being on at their pick times.

we had a big problem with that last year, as i recall, since sometimes 10 people would pick quickly, the 10 minute rule would kick in, and the person who thought they had half an hour till they were on the clock wasn't online.

Cosigned.  Having the schedule helps when you're at work and have to navigate around meetings/conferences/presentations.

I don't think that was ever a problem.  The "ten minute rule" is that if, and only if, 1) you're on the clock, and 2) you show up in the draft thread, you have ten minutes to pick.

People who only showed up at their draft times were never, ever penalized.

The 10 minute rule only effected the next GM if he was online.

The Miami Heat are happy to select Tyrus Thomas with the 10th pick in round 4.

I liked that rule too.

Nets select Courtney Lee

I like the player, but think he was a reach at this point.

Yea, playing on the magic has overrated the heck out of this kid, IMO.

he's a good premiter defender who can knock down a shot for you, but he's not a 2nd tier SG...yet, he certainly has potential, but still a reach. I expected to see him go in mid 5th or early 6th.

However, in his second year he's going to be there main option on the wing. I think moving to a worse team in his second year his numbers will dramatically increase.

See my thinking is: he plays good defense, seems like a good chemistry guy.  Went up against Kobe and LeBron in the playoffs should be a huge confidence boost.  Going to a crappy team this year so we should see a big numbers increase (I hope), and he fits in my team.  A nice young devloping 2 guard, who can shoot the 3 and play D, fits good with my more exerienced front court.

I really didn't want to play "stopwatch" here or go digging to see if someone is online. Got enough on my plate here.

For the most part, we've been running ahead of schedule.  We've only gone on hold twice and that was due to some misinformation.

We're still getting a round done a day.

Plus, didn't I give you the entire afternoon for your 15th a couple of days back? In between sessions?
