Omg please excuse my foolishness. Having major difficulty reading today lol

OKC takes Jeff Green!

The pressure got to you.

[Fafnir]

Ibaka has poor "fundamental defensive" habits. But he's still a mobile, active, and disruptive defender. Definite plus on that end of the floor.

Also no please don't put GIFs in the thread, bogs my work computer something fierce.

Very interesting pick, considering another wing player still has yet to be drafted.

[AB_Celtic]

Too early for Green, IMO.

[Roy H.]

OKC takes Jeff Green!

Edgar and I feel vindicated for picking him at 5.1 last year, and getting almost no credit for him.  Greenie had himself a second half, that's for sure.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Will pick in a minute, ya'll stole my folks. I'm looking at you Riah22.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Meeting's pushed back a week.  Feel like I got a snow day or something. 

Houston Rockets will take Big Al Jefferson

Pick and roll will be deadly. Tha Futureeeeee

I don't think Al is much of a P+R guy either.  And your team's gonna need some pretty amazing defensive pieces to stop anybody.

Well, if you look at his teams the past few years. I don't think he has had a capable enough ball handler and distributor to execute the pick and roll with. His offensive repertoire takes some of the scoring load off of Harden and will command some double teams in the post which will help spot up Harden for easy jumpers. I feel confident that the players I'm eyeing will be available when I make my selection in the 3rd round. And stop acting like Harden and Jefferson are terrible defenders.

With the 19th pick in the 2nd round of the 2013 CB Draft the Portland Trailblazers select:

LUOL DENG

Just saw this. Riah now has Melo and Deng.

[The Rondo Show]

Try again Rondo Show...Iguodala is gone too.

I feel like TWW is getting the respect he deserves as he picked both Iggy and Love. 

I don't know...  Maybe it's disrespect, since TRS thought they were both there at the end of the second round.

Haha nah just the product of getting up at 5 AM and taking a 5 hour plane ride. As you can tell I'm off my game

[nickagneta]

Will pick in a minute, ya'll stole my folks. I'm looking at you Riah22.

riah is on his honeymoon and will be gone all week.

[Roy H.]

Green is probably a reach, based upon his historical production.  If he can carry over his second half production -- including being a very good outside shooter and defender -- then this is a solid pick.  Green's production was on Deng's level.

I'm not saying that that will happen; I'm still a bit skeptical.  The pick isn't an off-the-wall one, though.

3 / 4 small ball lineup?

[AB_Celtic]

Gotten a few offers with a later third and parts for 3.7. We could also move into the late 2nd. Keep sending em in, we'll keep giving TPs.

Im guessing so.

And stop acting like Harden and Jefferson are terrible defenders.

I don't want to act like Harden is a terrible defender, though he's not great, partly because of how much energy he expends on O.  Al on the other hand...
