2012 'Pick Two' Draft Board

[GreenFaith1819]

Backing up Kidd will be C.J. Watson:



This man has done an admirable job with DRose out. He adds a bit of youth to our backcourt and decent range as well.

He's a good defender, too, with a 99 Drtg.

Was he a poor defender before he got to Chicago? When his DRTG average 113?

Apparently...he came into the league with GSW at 114, and went from 113, 112 with GSW...and then down to 100 and 99 with CHI.

Change of scenery was good for him.

Thank you, Thibs!

Just asking the question to point out DRtg's flaw, its a weighted average of defense efficiency when you're on the court. So playing on Chicago makes everyone look good!

Only the truly epic bad defenders get bad DRtg on good defensive teams. (Hi Derek how are you?)

Good point..I also took into account CJ's PER, which was an impressive 17.45....I found that to be good for a backup.

Yay, and Edgar lands his man!

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to take a chance on Corey Maggette. Not completely sold on his capacity to contribute to a winning team but I felt he was worth the risk.

I was looking at him yesterday. I think he could help your team if he can get and stay healthy. His shooting has not been great to this point this year but he shot 46% last year. I think not a bad risk at this point of the draft.

I'll field offers for the 5.28.

Chandler Parsons is the Landry Fields of the 2011 draft class.

[Edgar]

Lucky. I cant offer you PM but I offer my 6th and 7th for that pick. Saludos. Edgar the anxious Narwhal

[slamtheking]

before I pick, allow me to say this: you all suck.  (and I say that with all CB Draft affection)  [dang] near every player I had pegged for this round as an option has been taken.  Every other round I've had at least half my options available but this time, NOOOOOOOOO.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, the Chicago Bulls take Omri Casspi

[Merovech]

Ok fine...you guys win...Channing Frye ain't Larry Bird.  Grant Hill's my SF / veteran presence and Frye can spell Cousins and Monroe for 15-20 minutes while one plays center and the other sits.

I really wanted Hill, and looked at him hard with my 5th. Good pick up, and the sort of vet influence that Cousins (and the rest of the Kings' kids) could clearly use.

Now somebody say something belittling about my team that I can shove in your face six months from now. (RUBIO!)

PG Lou Williams
SG Wes Matthews/ Imam Shumpert
SF Gerald Wallace
PF LaMarcus Aldridge
C Elton Brand/ Amir Johnson

I was going to say that I don't like Elton Brand, until I realized that he's actually playing really well and is only 32

Edgar, I have an idea for a trade, but if you can't PM me to negotiate, we might be stuck.

[Edgar]

Pm me i can answer in my phone that way

[RebusRankin]

Maggette is worth the risk at this point.

Slamtheking 1. Good pick 2. I hear ya brother. I usually get one guy on my list and then watch the rest get picked.

[KCattheStripe]

Get one all time great dunk on you head and no one loves you. Come to Miami Timofey Mozgov, Denver is too darn cold.

I regret not being here for the SO/ IP auction. Also, whomever took Kawhi Leonard, we have blood feud. Starting... now.

I know the Rubio wasn't pointed at me but I'll comment anyway .
I really like your team, big fan of Crash & LA, think Amir plays an underrated role and Wes is a great fit. Never been a big Elton fan but realize he has value. I'm not sure about Lou as your starting PG but if he changes his focus from scorer to distributer and is able to make that work, you're going to be good.

Edgar, what do you think?
