2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[StartOrien]

Willing to trade any of my guys:

Nash
Reddick
Granger
Carl Landry
Gortat

Make me your best offer.

What's the deal with Carl Landry? He got hurt again, right?

[Who]

Interesting.  I wasn't expecting that from the Spurs.

Look at his recent play (with the exception of his outside shot which we expect to return)

He'd have been taken by now if I didn't have the wings I do.

I'd probably have drafted him too if not for Kobe Bryant.

I like Hayward as a big two. Not a three. Hence, love the talent but not wild about the fit for Spurs.

[Who]

I think Phily could have built a better team by keeping Westbrook and building a defensive minded team with their next few picks.

I don't really like Haywood as a two, he is in the Singler mold in my opinion, good college player but doesnt really have a position in the NBA that they can thrive because of their physical limitations

ATZARRRRR!!! PICK!

[Rondo2287]

Atzar, if possible if you could check the thread before going to bed and leave a list of players for the morning it would be greatly appreciated by all involved.

Interested in moving up to the first 5-10 picks in this rounds. I have 4.15 but want to move up some.

Disagree -- Hayward's size and length is a pain in the ass defensively at the two. Not an upper echelon defender or anything but definitely a solid one.

Oh sure he can be a solid defender, I though when you said you loved his talent you thought he could be a top 50 player in the league or something.

[Atzar]

Sorry guys.  Didn't realize how much I was holding up the show here.

Anyway, New Orleans selects Brendan Haywood. 

[Roy H.]

Poor Atzar gets beat up for showing up 20 minutes before his pick is due.  I understand, but it's also a tough position.

Me, I hate leaving lists, because I don't trust IP not to take my players.  He's sneaky cutthroat like that.

Emmmm ... borderline top 50. More like top 75.

I was thinking a top 15 SG with enough potential to crack the top ten (SG). Probably a 15-17ppg, 5rpg, 3-4apg with highly efficient and intelligent offensive play and solid defense.

Anyway, New Orleans selects Brendan Haywood. 

I thought Orlando should have picked Haywood in the last round.

They are leaving it a bit late to fill that center spot.

I was pleased to be able to take a starter-quality center this late in the draft.  Now I need a defensive 4 off the bench who can chase people around the perimeter.
