2014 Pick 2: General Commentary

[slamtheking]

Went bold in grabbing Horford even though he's hurt. Feel like he'd do a better job at David lee's role on the warriors then lee does

was hoping he'd slide due to the injury 

[pearljammer10]

Not going to rush my pick if anyone has offers for it send them my way.

[BigAlTheFuture]

I pick 1.16. PM if interested

I really debated hard about Al Horford.

But knowing the CB Draft's history of killing every injured players to the fullest, had to go in a different direction.

Tough though, Horford is everything you can ask for for a Center.

Rampant scandalous speculation time:  Horford keeps tearing his pectorals because he's a heavy PED user.  Discuss!

except short and he hates playing the position.

I was actually thinking he would make it out of this round and mid-way through round 2 at a minimum.  I mean it isn't like we are talking about Shaq in his prime here.  14/9.5/2.6 for the career is solid, but not overly exciting or awesome either.

Agh last minute trade talks

He's an other PF playing out of position unfortunately.  if Atlanta ever actually paired him with a solid center and let him play PF, he'd be so much better.  if he wasn't injured, Atlanta would probably have been one of the teams picked and he'd be a keeper.

If you're trying to finish up a trade, you can always pick the player the other team wants and finalize the trade after the fact.

If you aren't sure who to pick, Monroe is available for your first.

all my hopefuls for the next round are dropping like flies

Didnt stop him from playing it great.

I understand the career numbers, but before he went down, he's primed for an All Star year. 18/8/1.5 blocks, 56% shooting. 22.16 PER and is just good on both ends.

The injury (now looks like recurring) is what scares me.

[pearljammer10]

If you aren't sure who to pick, Monroe is available for your first.

Would have done it but not a fan of him next to Aldridge. Much happier with taking Kawhi next to LA and Lillard.

Kawhi is an excellent pick there.  Really ensures you can defend LeBron/Durant as well as any team can.

So is exciting young PG Eric Bledsoe.
