[indeedproceed]

I select Terrance WIlliams

[Rondo2287]

If Im correct the two crappiest teamates are both still available

[Kane3387]

I select Aaron Gray if he is still available.

Is he gone already?

[Who]

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.

[indeedproceed]

The Blazze Fairre select newly slimmed & conditioned Charlie Villanueva

Probably the BPA. Also one of the LPA's.

(Least liked Players Available)

I thought LPA was Laziest Player Available

He's still out there.

Yep. Using his playbook as a dinner plate for his nachos supreme.

@DrayBaltche: Didn't get picked in this years CB Draft. Also didn't get picked to walk into the strip club at 10 this morning, but I did it. #ifUcanDreamItUCanDoIt

@DrayBaltche: Rookies got picked and yours truly isn't? Im boasting 16 and 8 ya'll, 2 years ago. #FreeAgency

[Lucky17]

Aha. I got it.

[Evantime34]

Not sure who to pick so I went with the best player according to advanced stats. The Brooklyn Nets select Ed Davis

Already selected -- 11th round, Miami

[Lucky17]

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.

[Gainesville Celtic]

You wanted the best? You got the BEST!!!!


The hottest band in th.... Uh.... wrong thread sorry.


But look at that talent (below) lets make a trade to finish this draft out

[Kane3387]

When does free agency begin?

And when is the Trade Deadline?

FA started at midnight last year, but I think this year its starting during the day. Since we're done today, I'd expect it to start tomorrow at 10am.

On behalf of fellow West-Coasters, can we maybe push that to 11 AM at the earliest?

Wait so when is the trade deadline? Is it this coming Monday?

[Lucky17]

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!

I just got this. Was it Butler for T-Will?

[Evantime34]

The Brooklyn Nets select Quincy Pondexter
