2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[33-00-32]

I liked the Parker trade to SA a lot more when I thought Jennings would be there for Philly at 2.2. Now, not as much.

I was thinking the same thing but the y had to know Toronto would be looking there too. I do think there is still a nice (1a) option.

I honestly did a massive double take when I saw how far down the Spurs fell.

So did I.  I had them in the top half.



The biggest issue with the non-snake draft is not the best teams, it is the middle top.  Teams that can be good because of depth no longer in position to really build that depth.

I agree with this. Once you get past the top 3-4 teams you don't have two All-Star keepers. I think things level off pretty quickly after the 1st or 2nd round.

I say just start working the phones.

Look at nick and I.  We had arguably the worst starting position of any team, because there were no two-star combos left; we started with a crappy pick, and the Cleveland Cavs.  We're now psyched with our lineup of Irving/Deng/Bogut, and we have two #2s and moved up in the 3rd. 

Having a mediocre team and a mediocre pick is going to suck if you're inactive, but if you do some diligence, I think you can really improve your situation.

Finding a trade partner willing to overpay for Varejao also helped.

The Hawks are just hording picks, I'm interested in what that finished product is going to be.

All my picks are important to me so I can't use them, I like to keep them all in my house so that I know exactly where they are.

I still think it's a good trade for Philly, I still see plenty of talent at the 1. Enough where I think you could even hold off another round and still get a good talent.

I have 2.2. Am I supposed to pick now?

Absolutely (but no rush).

With the first pick, the Toronto Raptors select Brandon Jennings.

And there goes my gamble.

says the GM who may also be looking for a good option in this round...

Point guards are going at a slower rate than I expected. To me it's the most important position (for the style I want to play)  but I guess others don't share that opinion.

Great pick.

Yoki has 2.2, huh? Wonder if he'll pull the trigger.

Yep, pretty much the onl;y reason I was okay in letting go of Tony because I thought I can have him at 2.2. Now I got to work.

That's a good bet

Oh for sure. There's still one on the board I'm really surprised to see still available, and I might force myself into taking one just so I can insure my fun n gun style.
