6.7 was Nick Young, not 6.9

my appologies... here have some TPs... 

All good!  TP to you too.

Anyone looking to move back, I can start by offering my 6.24

[wdleehi]

With 6.9 Utah Jazz select Brandon Jennings

Interesting.


So who starts at SG, Jennings or Young?


And is that strong enough defensively with Kobe and Johnson both in your division?

[mgent]

What about Hedo Turkoglu?

Wait, Hedo + Wade + Iggy ... are you planning on starting Hedo?

Nah I like the defensive versatility + sharpshooting Hinrich brings to the starting unit, I was envisioning Turk as the leader of the bench.  Love the idea of going big with Wade/Iggy/Hedo though, that is by far the most RIDICULOUS passing lineup I've ever seen, while still being tough on defense and letting Wade destroy weaker PGs.

[RebusRankin]

GC, you're up.

NY Knicks select rebounding machine DeJuan Blair

That lineup would be a nightmare -- an absolute nightmare -- to matchup against.

With 6.9 Utah Jazz select Brandon Jennings

Now there is some high risk/reward.

Like his potential as a sixth man instant offense guy. His only job will be to primarily score off the bench ala Jamal Crawford. He is a scorer more then a PG. I think he can also provide a nice change of pace to Andre Miller. He averaged 16 and 5 last year.

[riah32]

looking to possible move scola or perkins for a more athletic 4/5 guy.

NY Knicks select rebounding machine DeJuan Blair

Maybe a little early for him...or at least other more talented PF's still out there.

I can think of one especially that should have been picked a while ago that isn't much younger.

I hate you.

San Antonio selects the future CB 2011/2012 6th man of the year,
Vince Carter

With 6.9 Utah Jazz select Brandon Jennings

Young. His shooting and slashing will complement Pierce and Gasol more in the starting lineup. Once Washington jettisoned "Bad Knee Gun Man" he got touches and avergaed 17 ppg a game. Also that negative influence was bad for him. There will be none of that in Utah.

I considered him IP, but Blair's a bulldog and a proven starter on a quality team.... more than i can say for _____ _____ and _____ _____.

[ChampKind]

Lots of good picks this round so far. Liked finally seeing Jennings go, appreciate the Blair pick because he's a good fit almost anywhere, and Carter is solid in the 6th, even though he'll be fun to defend when you state your case for your team.
