StartOrien just breakin hearts and takin names with that one.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Good pick with Kukoc SO.

Good passer and a solid shooter.

[GreenFaith1819]

Good Pick, that Toni Kukoc guy.

6th Man of the Year in one season.

Boozer was a steal at this point, too.

[Roy H.]

Boozer is a very nice pickup.

Good option to be able to go to when you want more offense on the floor from your big men.

Exceptin the playoffs.

Yes and no, Down the stretch in the playoffs when my team needs offense you will probably see a lineup of

Parker
Rip
Roy
Boozer
Duncan

With Schrempf mixed in some at SF pushing Roy back to the SG spot

I think in a stress situation you can do alot worse than Boozer as your 5th option offensively.

You're doing something wrong if Boozer is your fifth option.  The guy shot 56% from the field while putting up 21 points per game, and then shot 54% in the playoffs while averaging 23.5 points.  Why relegate him to a marginal option?

If you take away Boozer's offense, what do you have?  A below-average defender who rebounds well?  You may as well draft Reggie Evans.

EDIT:  When was Zach Randolph taken?  The 7th?  Prime vs. prime, Boozer was better.

[Who]

Carlos Boozer has had some weak performances in the playoffs but he has also had some very strong performances in the playoffs too.

Boozer was terrific in 2007 against Yao Ming plus Golden State's weak front line, and, very good against Duncan's Spurs in the Conference Finals. The Rockets and Spurs were both high level defensive teams too.

Next three years Boozer played against the Lakers and all their length. He struggled in those matchups for the most part.

Struggled a lot the first year. Played pretty well the second year (three very good games, one so-so game, one bad game). Then played very well against Denver (Kenyon Martin and Nene) the next year and then struggled again against LA's length in the second round. Since Boozer has gone to Chicago, he's done nothing in the playoffs.

I think there is a strong and clear argument to be made that Boozer can be taken out of games by teams that have lots of length and solid quickness inside. But aside from that, his playoff record is pretty good.

[Who]

Tweet: @AndreMiller Andre Miller is a fantastic pick

A.Miller should never play ahead of Nate McMillan. Solid third string PG.

[Who]

Kane posted this earlier today. Said to skip him if he's not here.

I'm not sure if he is online or not. Should check that first.

I might not be able to join in today. I don't time for a list but its ok bc there isn't anyone I'm dying to get. Meaning there are several id be happy with choosing later tonight.

Anyways just know it's cool with me that I'm skipped when it is my opportunity to pick (I don't mean allotted time slot here). So if this thing is moving ahead of schedule and it comes to me then skip me and keep moving on ahead of schedule.

I will make my picks asap later tonight if I can't join in while the draft is going on.

Good luck and let's hope we take care of business tonight.

18!!!!!

I didnt mean that he would be my 5th option I was just pointing out that if somebody had beef with boozers offense in the playoffs they could look at the rest of my team that would be out there with him who are very clutch peformers.

Yeah, good find, Who.

Kane's skipped, 33-00-32, you're up.

[StartOrien]

StartOrien just breakin hearts and takin names with that one.

Couldn't let that kind of talent continue to slip.

[33-00-32]

Be right there....

[StartOrien]

Entertaining offers for him as well.

[33-00-32]

Been bouncing back and forth between a bunch of different guys but have made it right back to where I started. Looking for someone to give Kobe a breather Chicago will select a 6'7" All Star guard from 97-98. He averaged 20.1 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 4 apg and a steal per as well.

Welcome to Chicago!

Nice pick. I wanted him but took Christie for defense instead. That seagull must have took some of my basketball sense as well.
