2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[indeedproceed]

Board is open for CFF at any time.

[Rondo2287]

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.

Houston and Rondo2287 is another good example

Well, except that he's building around this year's Mo Williams, i.e., Carmelo.

I know right.  I think the problem is that now he plays in NY so has gone from underrated because we never got to see him play to overrated since he is NY but his game ist still the same.  Also i don't really like him in the D'antoni system.

Great job for Sacramento, a little confused for Indiana but we'll see who they pick at #11.

I really did try working the phones but didn't get anything as sweet as you did. I think as long as you have Bogut in your starting lineup you're playing for next year. My mistake was taking two guys I wanted to build around but not a big deal because I will have fun doing it and we've only just begun, plenty of time left!

Did we ever get a finalized trade for the Thad Young deal? I'm curious to see the terms.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

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

I guess I never confirmed it with the commish which was what held it up. I sent it to IP and it should be up whenever he gets a chance.

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

If he had started to fall, I was going to try and trade back into the round to get him.

Great pick, great fit. Shocked he was there, and was definitely a player I was planning to take.

Nets Trades: Pick 2.15, Pick 3.15

Hawks Trades: Thaddeus Young, Pick 6.6

He was 2nd on my list of picks before I made the trade.

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

[Lucky17]

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.
