Could someone make my picks for me later this afternoon? I'm in a mid year review session. I have two of the first three picks, so it'd be a short list.

he is my binky.

Vet, yet young enough.  Finals experience.  Really stepped up the play level when it mattered.  


Another vet player I want the young guys to learn from and my starting SG.

The Seattle Supersonics select Hasheem Thabeet, center, University of Connecticut.

This may not be popular but I am prepared to defend it.

The Seattle Supersonics select Hasheem Thabeet, center, University of Connecticut.

Good pick.  High potential C.

I think this guy is being hyped a little to much.  

Says the GM who drafted Mike Conley.

Tough but fair.

I dont think thats fair at all, Conley played very well in the NBA Randolph has yet to put up the numbers for a sustained stretch that Conley has in the NBA

Conley's averages last year were 10ppg and 4 assts. Randolph's were 8 PPG and 5 boards. Neither have proven much of anything.

actually he had 11ppg and 4 assists and 3 boards,(only two less than Randolph)  and Conley's performance got steadily better as the year went on

He actually had a good February, and up and down March and a solid April. But too much is being made about his mid season turn around, He's getting hyped as much as Randolph is.

he sounds like dikembe mutumbo, are you afraid he might adopt the controversial finger wag as well?

He's my #2 player I wanted. Would've taken him #30

My plan was to pick him and then post the lyrics to the Go Go's "We Got Tha Beet"

He improved as a player and played like top 10 PG once they traded away lowry, making him their PG.  Not to mention they have a pretty good GM that knows a thing about PGs.

Best post ever, Edgar.

(Now, I'm really on my way to that meeting.)
