2012 - CB draft board "Let's get it on!"

[Kane3387]

I select Aaron Gray if he is still available.

Very good pick -- I was hoping GSW would select A.Gray and start him at center.

Give him 15mpg. A physical presence in the paint to start off games.

We were very close to taking him at 12.1. Came down to him and Kurt Thomas, and we liked the physicality Kurt provides.

Gray posted some interesting rebounding numbers last season. 16 minutes a game, yet started 40 out of 49 games.

After these last few days this doesn't surprise me at all.

Really dissapointing that Philly dissapeared after trading away 3 top flight players.  Hopefully everything is alright with him though.

No bueno. Missing 3/13 picks is nearly 25% of the draft. Might be something to think about for next year?

For 13.20 Cleveland select Jimmy Butler

Wow Yoki that's an awesome pick! Completely coincidentally, I was just reading about Jimmy Butler. Here is what John Hollinger said about him last season:

'11-'12   .405   .768   12.1   6.2   1.6   52.6   10.6   10.6   13.9   8.7   12.48


+ Big, overachieving wing who can play tough defense. Smart, great attitude.

+ Middling outside shooter and not a great athlete. May struggle to score.

+ Solid rebounder. Drew fouls in college. Amazing backstory.

Butler's life story is fascinating -- think "The Blind Side," but for basketball -- as our Chad Ford detailed this spring. His career may be less so. A good defender who will probably be confined to a spot-up shooting role as a pro, Butler shapes up as a modern-day version of his namesake Rasual Butler. He can rebound and appears to have a decent feel for scoring around the bucket, so perhaps he'll surpass that projection; either way, he may have a long career simply because coaches love having guys like this around.

But then, he kind of dominated this summer league, posting totals of 21 points, 7 boards, and 2 assists per game, and managed to draw enough fouls to manage an eye-popping 9.8 free throws per 36 minutes, and shot 89% from the line! What a fantastic 13th round choice!

Looked great in Summer League, in line for some a long look in Chicago.

In CB H2H got into an extended debate about the kid's chances vs. Nazr Mohammed so now I'm pulling for him.

Another Cleveland pick that I like.

Jimmy Butler should get plenty of playing time next season with Ronnie Brewer gone.

[The Walker Wiggle]

BTW this is a joke people. If you want Gortat and Evabs in a package for one player send me PMs.

I'm in the mood to put together a First Team All Typo.

Tyreke Evabs certainly makes the cut, along with Lukas Kleiza. Who else? I need three more. Fess up.

D.J. "Saint" Augustine is the PG. I need two more.

Well guess what, buddy....IT WAS A BULLS PICK! WE TRADED!

I know right? I had you all fooled. All of you.

Dagnabit. (Remember kids no masked profanity.) THE Walker Wiggle is really off his game. That's THREE times I've been outmaneuvered by IP (Lin, Davis, and now Butler). Credit to IP for keeping me off balance by mixing up his Mozgov jokes with sincere appeals. Plus he skulks around the place like a GD spook. I never now what thread he's reading.

You'd think years of sparring with Roy Hobbs would leave me better prepared for CB head games. I'm going to go write one hundred back-handed compliments and come back tomorrow.

[GreenFaith1819]

Brandon Bass, if he's available?
