2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[Roy H.]

Thoughts on the Indiana Super Funk?

Paul George and the Brothers Chandler?

Fun team, for sure.  I'm a believer that star players win, though, and your team lacks a true elite (offensive) star.

What are you thinking with the rest of your picks? Lengthy, over-sized, superathletic defensively oriented players?

Is it obvious that I play 2k12?

[Who]

I don't love Camby.  Golden State is very clearly a future-oriented team, and won't be contending this year.  Therefore, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to draft a guy who only has half a season of leadership left in the tank.

I'd look to deal him.  Vets are good for a young team, but vets with maybe 30 games left in their careers aren't, in my opinion.

Is there an age-appropriate center out there who can be a long term fixture in GSW though?

I am not seeing anyone. They all look like stop-gap signings to me.  

Edit: There are a couple of young guys with potential but they could be probably be added in a future round. And I like having Camby around to bring that player along slower and as a mentor to that player.

Thoughts on my team
5-
4- Josh Smith
3-
2- Wes Matthews
1- Rajon Rondo

Matthews can play the 2 or the 3, Smith can play the 3 or the 4. What positions do you guys best like those players at? What do you think I should target next with 4 picks in the next two rounds?

Kendrick Perkins.

[mgent]

If he's there.

[Evantime34]

Kendrick Perkins.

I thought about this but he's looked so bad this year.

HIgh five for mgent!

If Camby had 2-3 years left, I would absolutely agree.  However, at this stage I would have drafted somebody younger, maybe a _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _, and then found veteran mentors later.  I mean, is _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ any worse of a mentor than Camby?  He'll probably be there in the 8th.

Love it.  I'll be curious to see what you do at SF.

Looks like Pawnee is up again. Prolly hangin out with Detlef, just not worryin' bout a thang.

[Roy H.]

I love me some Perk.  Great pickup.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Just finalized a trade for the upcoming pick.

The Raptors select the greatest basketball player of all time,

Jeremy Lin

[mgent]

Kendrick Perkins.

Struggling but a vital part of the best team in the league.

And the best pick setter available for Ray, Dirk, and Terry.

Pacers select Jeremy Lin to be clear, with intention to trade.
