2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[indeedproceed]

Knicks select......Klay Thompson.

I don't see that as a huge reach at all.

I wanted to go practical, but he's one of the best spot-up shooters in the league this season, and his defensive numbers actually look pretty good.

Also, props to bahku for seeing this coming during the summer.

Let me clarify the reach comment.

I think Thompson is a good shooter and might remain one but I also think he could have been there next round.

Of course at this point, take who you believe in.

I agree, but I'm eager to see if anyone had him on top of their board though. I think I probably could've gotten him at 6.13, but I wonder if I could've gotten him at 7.3

I had him in my top 30 but I don't necessarily pick in that order, just saying he was on the radar for this round.

Anyone have any idea why I thought I had the 20th pick of this round?

[RebusRankin]

Will Chapkind be the 2nd to get skipped?

[ChampKind]

Well, this guy has been dreadful this year, and that's really what I'm looking for in a player. Utah has been a pretty bad fit for him, but he's a 28 year old former All-Star who, at the very least, will appreciate New Glarus beers.

Devin Harris.

I'm also looking to pick up another pick this round. Let me know if you're selling.

[indeedproceed]

And, for those wondering, here is what sold me:

2. Klay Thompson

With Kyrie Irving and MarShon Brooks, two of this season's top three rookies, sidelined with injuries, Thompson has leapt up the rankings. We've already examined Thompson's spot-up shooting, where his 1.434 points per possession put him in the top 2 percent of NBA players. Thompson, however, doesn't just stand on the perimeter and wait to shoot. He's performing well as a mid-aughts Rip Hamilton-like scorer, using screens and moving without the ball to create shots. Thompson is shooting 52.1 percent on shots that come after he uses a screen.

Thompson rarely comes directly off screens. He almost always sets them up with a slight hesitation or a step in the opposite direction. He changes speeds to lull defenders to sleep or get them going in the wrong direction. He sets up screens so well that the Warriors can run the same play multiple times against the same opponent and have it result in open jumpers again and again.

Top talent no doubt.

[Roy H.]

Yeah, Devin Harris has been the most talented player on the board for quite some time now.  He's worth a 6th round gamble.

[StartOrien]

Welp, now I officially regret the Biyombo trade. Oh well.

[RebusRankin]

Sent a list to IP. I'll be back!!

BostonAz, you're 2 mins away from being skeeped.
