I personally think horford would be a better compliment than millsap, but they will figure it out. i don't think we could have made all 3 coincide though. 

It's a pipe dream that won't happen unless GS undervalues him like crazy and thinks the world of late 1st round picks, prince, baze, splitter, or bembry.  

we simply don't match up. and those wanting to include howard are crazy. our starting center is then either moose or hump.... 

I get your love affair for horford, but cmon man. they had how many extra possessions because of Tristan pushing him around? we would play good enough defense only to give them 2 and 3 chances.

He wasn't THE  reason we lost, but he was a big part of it  

Horford was outrebounded by IT.  I really don't care if he had 10 assists and a +30.  He was outrebounded by....IT .  ahh good ol tito Jr hasn't  changed.

Dennis and Dwight's  potential is significantly higher than Teague and Horford ever were.  Will they reach that potential is another question.

So to think we may tank is just as unlikely as winning 70 games. we will fall somewhere in the middle, while making the playoffs. 

So does this guarentee we win the championship? thanks charles!!!

Ughhh. I should not have taken Kilpatrick last and picked up another 5. ANY legit big team is going to crush me inside. Hopefully the combo of aminu, illyasova, and favors (all 6'9'' +) will do an adequate job on the glass. 

Is @Alexup or who did he trade with???

I was just curious.

Anyways, with my final pick I wanted to pick up an emergency 1/2/3 kind of player. Unfortunately, Jay stole that one from me in Bembry.

So I'll go with the next man on the list, an instant offense type player who will finally get the time to show his skills this season. Final pick is Sean Kilpatrick - G/F

Curry / Beverly / Mills

Fournier /Matthews / Kilpatrick

Aminu / Barton

Illyasova / Lyles / D Davis

Favors / Turner

Rick Carlisle 

I'm getting my pick ready to go, but what are the rules on dropping a player on your roster and adding another? Is that allowed, no, end of draft, etc?

I'm going to take Patty Mills. A very solid, smart player who can go off any night and run a team. Steph Currys ankles worry me and having a solid 3 deep at point will get us through a week or two if curry needs to rest. 

Curry / Beverly / Mills

Fournier / Matthews

Aminu / Barton

Illyasova / Lyles / D. Davis

Favors / Turner

Go ahead @pimp

Don't do me dirty buzzard!

As soon as his clock is up,I'm ready to go....unless he takes my guy 

I was surprised as well. To me this is my riskiest pick. It was down to him and another rookie for me. The other was probably a safer pick to at least turn into something solid. But I liked Deyonta's already present defensive ability...something my other consideration lacked. I hAve a lot of offense at pf, but really lacked that defensive stopper at the position. I'm also no scout, but he looked to have a pretty fluid mid range shot that should become consistent.  

In the dynasty draft, he would do well to learn from favors.  In real life, I think he is in a great spot learning from Zach and Marc down in Memphis.

Any idea who the last one and done to play for coach izzo was?? If you guessed Zach Randolph, pat yourself on the back. I actually think Memphis is the perfect match for this kid. 

The hawk fans select Deyonta Davis - PF/ C. 

We feel very strong about our PG, SG, SF, and C depth, but not so much power forward. We are trippling down on this position (while adding a 3rd C too).  This young man's game is very different from our current PFs - defense first. It's not like he is bad offensively. He is just raw.  Has shown the potential of a knockdown midrange and post up game. He will be a great high low compliment to either  Turner off the bench, or Favors if his game develops as a starter.  

Excited about this young prospect. As a 3rd stringer, he will not feel the pressure to produce right away. But rather ease in and polish his skills over time. 

@Alex is on the clock. 

Give me the coach that has shown the ability to win the big one. A mastermind of the intricacies of basketball. The coach that has a history of making his players better. 

The h4wkfans select. Rick Carlisle. 

@pimp is up

This is a gamble of a pick. I am really changing the dynamic of my team from being one of the biggest teams to a smaller / more all around team. This pick will improve the floor spacing for the starters which will significantly help favors. His efficiency and impact improve when he is the true c and not sharing time with gobert. Also gives me one of the top back up centers in the game (this league). Without further ado...

Ersan illyasova - Forward. The guy that is ok at a lot of different things, but is a great shooter and understands the game.  

Curry / Beverly

Fournier / Matthews

Aminu / Barton

Illyasova / Lyles

Favors / Turner

I believe Alex is up???

Management is at a crossroad of how we want to construct our team. We will have to look into a couple of options and I'll make the pick in the next hour or 2

AHF. That's the second time you have used that set of rankings to screw me.  Can you change your list? Thanks. 

Looking at my team I see a ton of talent that will fit well together. One of the biggest pieces missing was someone with that dog mentality. Whose going to bring it every night up or down 30? We need the attitude that is going to take your lunch money, order a cheeseburger with it, and tell you how good it was.

Initially we were going another direction, but Steph Curry really made is voice heard on this one... with the next pick, the H4wkfans select...

Patrick Beverley - PG

Our attitude and backup PG have arrived. Don't forget he's not just a defender anymore. He developed a floater last year and clipped a career high 40% from deep.

Curry / Beverley

Matthews / fournier

Aminu / Barton

Favors / Lyles

Turner / ???

I didn't look too carefully, so hopefully he wasn't already taken lol.

@h4wkfan you don't want none sun!!!

You are lucky we had a poor shooting night from 3!! Looks like favors struggled keeping up with dray.

I may need to look into tweeking my lineup to fit the small ball style. 

Ill be brief, but the H4wkfans select Trey Lyles, PF.

We feel after a so so rookie season with flashes, Trey is about to take the next big step... for those of you questioning this, please refer to Utah vs Portland this summer league (yes I know , summer league). He is the perfect fit as the first #4 of the bench. 

Steph

Matthews / fournier

Aminu / barton

Favors / lyles

Turner

@Alex is up.

AHF on a roll today crushing my dreams. Nice. 

Damnit AHF. I wanted Otto Porter to drop.  Paul is not impressed.
