2013 CB Draft : Draft Thread : VOTING ENDS 8:00PM EST TONIGHT

[KGs Knee]

I'd like to hear some thoughts on my core of Conley, Redick, George and Anderson.

Good or bad, you'll earn a TP.

Spurs GM doesn't work for TPs. But will swap feedback.

Update your sig

There, your turn

I believe the Big Board, Eligible Players, Trades and Rosters posts on the 1st page are all up to date so if everyone can check to make sure their rosters, trades and positions on the Big Board are correct, that would be cool. If anything is off, just let me know and I will fix it.

Tomorrow after the draft begins the dreaded Coach's Round. Basically pick a coach at your leisure. When you do, post it here and then PM the next GM to alert them it is their turn to select their coach. Since I may or may not be in this weekend a bunch this will help keep things rolling and I will post the selections when I pop in.

PMs will go out tomorrow reminding everyone.

Lots of depth, but this team needs to consolidate its talent for any chance of a ship.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Does anybody still use the chat room for trade talks? There use to be parties in there previous drafts.

Honestly, TWW, I'm not sure what to thionk about your Spurs.

Really like Love and Iggy.  Granger should work well with Iggy, while McGee should provide the defense Love can't.

I'm just not sure how much I like Granger and McGee individually.  Difficult to count on either player, for different reasons.  I think you need some scoring punch in the back court.  A good shooting PG would actually work really well with that group.  Iggy's ball handling allows any team with him to get away with a PG who isn't the best playmaker.

You mean like if he packaged Lillard and Monroe and a pick and traded for a top player, like say a Harden or someone like that?

A starting level PG and if not for injuries a surefire All Star C coming off the bench. Glad tje depth is getting recognized.

How did the order of the coach's round get chosen?

How did the order of the coach's round get chosen?

The ones who drafted in the middle of the first round, are the ones who get to pick first in the coaches round while the last ones and first ones pick last. Personally I like the way it's chosen and don't mind as coaches really don't matter to me.

Humph.

Okay, Everybody loves Paul George. He's long and quick, driven - making meaningful strides every season, and he's now an elite perimeter defender at either wing spot. But he still needs to improve as a shot creator if he's going to carry the load as the primary scoring option on a contender, the Bucks or the Pacers. He can't shoot below 42% again. He's got to maintain his scoring volume, 17.4 points per last season, but get back in to the 44-45% range and, ideally, cut down on his turnovers. His ball handling hurts him there.

If he can't, he may be better suited to a 1A role. There's no shame in that, particularly given his defense. But it's not clear the Bucks have a second scorer on the level of Danny Granger or David West to take up slack. What they do have is four, count them four, knock down shooters. As last season's Warriors team demonstrated, there's not a defensive scheme that can account for four three point threats on the nights they're all on.

Conley has gradually developed into one of the league's top two-way guards. Redick struggled post-trade last season, but let's assume he warms to Milwaukee and returns to form in 13-14. I would've loved to see the Bucks go after another of their own, Ilyasova over Anderson. But Ryan is a shooter who has to be accounted for, careful with the ball - generally Milwaukee is going to make possessions count - and a solid rebounder.

Going forward, the Bucks need a rim protector - team will have elite perimeter defense, but Anderson is going to need help - and a reserve who can be relied on to create his own shot, whether that's off-the-dribble or back-to-the-basket.
