lastly on gortat, he's young and  valuable to teams better suited to contend than I as a super sub off the bench. If my strategy isn't clear by now, see my post several pages ago, about what i consider a valid way to write up a team of the future, which no one shot down.

 It isn't all about being young and spectacular now, its about locking up a ton of young pieces with talent, and shipping some of them off in the post draft trade period for fictional future picks from teams that they might help put over the top in write ups. Judging by interest in some of my picks from said teams, it seems like it will at least have me making fun trades after the draft.

( i had an idea on this yesterday ill post at home, probably get shot down, but hey, im having fun regardless)/ other guys off the bench, ect)

I really don't expect to beat out WDL for the title of best team for the future, He's fielding one  hell of a young guns team that  can win now and looks good going forward, but this gives me 3 highly desirable, young, and from all reports good character front court guys.

 (aside form mike's reported obsession with the sticky icky, but hey, how can i hold that against him when we have eddie house on our RL team right?)  

If i had a different strategy, i would have taken kaman, but i like gortat better, due to his age, toughness, and lack of injuries.

 mabey ill regret that, who knows. mabey my trust in ariza as a starter in this league is vastly misplaced. but im happy with my team, and thats all that matters  ;D

He trails only Dwight Howard for RP48


OK, two Cs taken in the 2nd part of this round I like better.


(I think there are at least 3 others left that I would think that)

then we continue to agree to disagree, though i'll admit, i actually completely missed him making my list this morning, that would have been a really tough choice... :-\

perils of trying to do a draft sheet while busy at work i suppose :D

Like that pick.  He has been on my short list for the past two rounds. 


Can play two positions.  Can defend.  Has no problem playing as one of many on a team.

He's talented.  I wish he rebounded better, though.

Good pick this late, but i just hate the way he plays the game.

 when Your 7 feet tall and dont rebound nor play defense, I have a problem with ya.

 all he does is jack up three's. at least sheed plays in the post on the defensive end to make up for that.

Thanks guys, I needed an athletic wing who could defend especially given the size of my backcourt, a very real issue. This helps a little but still, an unfinished product.

It was either him or Marvin Williams, circled on my sheet haha
