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

[AB_Celtic]

Assuming no auto-picks this round?

[Gainesville Celtic]

Nice rapid fire start to the day.  I can dig it.

Just want to point out that since your comment Rondo, we've descended into card game talk, the Matt Damon ouvre, and wishful thinking about guys still on the board....

Thanks Rondo for jinxing it! 

[KCattheStripe]

I hate playing cards with "table-talkers"...

I love playing poker against table talkers. They are the easiest people to read and take money from

There's one manager on this board who fits that description to a t... I won't say who, but seriously it's that guy exactly...

Have we gone all the way around to meta-table talk now?   

I'm not talking because its part of my character.

All your character does is talk about and hype their own players, there's no progression, no development, no conflict. Just the same arc, season after season after season. It's like a mediocre sitcom about underrated basketball players and the man who loves them... Maybe a bit to much.

Winger, out!

IP has a tell. As soon as he starts talking up one of his players, that's the guy he wants to move and get high value on.

Yup, picks just came to a screeching halt lol

[fairweatherfan]

So it looks like OKC and Dallas are skipped, and riah's nowhere to be seen.  Really glad for the 5 minute windows this week.

Assuming no auto-picks this round?

Nope, I think after the third round, if you miss your pick, you simply get skipped and pick at any time you want thereafter.

With the 7th pick of the 6th round of the CB Draft the Portland Trailblazers select:

TRISTAN THOMPSON

You always say that, but its not true. Ilyasova, (other guy not yet picked), Jarret Jack, Bosh, Pierce, Parsons, Thad Young...I talked about those guys incessantly. Jrue Holiday, James Harden, Bogut, STAT, Jimmy Butler, Nic Vucevic...I've tried to sell you guys on all them at one point or another. If I love my team, I talk about them quite a bit. And sometimes, I will move a guy even if I do like their talent if I don't particularly care for their fit.

But the guys I've traditionally moved have turned out to be pretty good, even if people didn't realize it at the time. Steph Curry, Nik Pekovic, Kyrie Irving, are the guys who headlined trades made by me (being shipped out, not acquired), and they didn't have bad years at all last season by my count.

Nick however does have a tell. Anytime he says something that seems smug and knowingly about another person's motivations with a winky face, he's usually wrong.

TRISTAN THOMPSON

solid, safe, obvious pick, but to go with all the card-playing analogies, 99% of a good poker player is just taking the odds

[AB_Celtic]

Nick, out of curiosity, how long was Riah's list? I couldn't order 200 or so players (which is what it seems like he's done)... Props to Riah.

Those 2 guys stink.

This however, I did enjoy. Its almost like we're on a TV show. Popculturepopculuture. Cool cool cool.

[ChampKind]

Like the Thompson pick.

I don't know what I'm doing, but we're gonna sell so many t-shirts, you guys.

You guys.

Hawks select

Jeremy Lin.

150 players long. Thompson was #83 and the highest player left on his board
