LOCKOUT DRAFT

[Seano]

he was going to be my next pick...I was banking on people overlooking him but I guess I was just a tad to late. But great pick, his defense is definitely remarkable

Sorry, dude. Still lots of good players and prospects out there though!

[capstone21]

I like Tony Allen too...a very underrated player. Memphis did a great job signing him

I know. It just bums me out that the Hawks don't sign players like that. I mean the guy is getting $3M per, which is NOTHING.

Brendan Haywood

Solild backup big that every team needs

AHF on the clock

Edited June 19, 2011 by Supporter

[AHF]

The U-Niques select 25 year old small forward, Jared Dudley. Dudley has spent years as the defensive specialist for the Bobcats and then the Suns before breaking out last season as more than a good 3pt shooter on offense. With his career 41.3% from 3pt range, he makes a fantastic outlet on offensive and after taking over as a starter for UNDRAFTED, he averaged 16 ppg and 6 rpg. While he won't have to put up 16 ppg on this team, the additional offense is a welcome dimension to his game. With his defense, emerging offense, and ability to spread the floor, Dudley makes a perfect glue guy for our starting lineup and enhances the talents of the rest of the roster on both sides of the ball. Welcome aboard.

So have we figured out how we're going to determine the best team?

I'm personally more intersted in looking back on this at the end of the next few seasons to see how players perform. It will be interesting to see what young players continue to grow and which veterans age and/or retire quicker then some expected.

I was thinking the same thing when I was making my pick this morning. It will be interesting to see where teams are down the line. Definitely a thread to resurrect periodically and a good reason not to rush it through (although the current slow pace is a bit frustrating).

yeah, I hope we can at least get it back to where there are about 4-5 picks a day....this 1 maybe 2 picks is just WAY to slow. And I agree about looking back at this over time but i also want to have some kind of winner declared at the end of this, or if no winner then at least a good healthy argument about who everyone thinks will win

[Supporter]

The loophole that I see in this is the longevity of the franchise's. I mean, I had to change my whole draft in order to get impact players that will last for 10 more years. What are we going to do about the guys that centered their franchise around studs that will only last 5 or 6 years more.

[Seano]

I've looked for good basketball sims so we could simulate a season (or preferably seasons), but I have had no luck with finding any. I play a lot of baseball sims, and was hoping for an NBA equivalent to the Sports Mogul or Out of the Park baseball sim games, and I would happily purchase something like that, but I'm just not seeing anything even comparable to that out there. There's also What If Sports, though I know less than nuttin about that. So if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, recommendations or whatever RE: trying to sim this thing out, feel free to give me a shout.

[Marvin24Williams]

With my 8th round pick, I choose: Omer Asik

A very good backup for Bogut. He does all the things I want in a backup center (rebound, block shots, defense)

Lawson

Bryant/Turner

Wright/Young

Davis

Bogut/Asik

You're up next capstone21

Certainly not the only way to play around with this, but I am thinking we start a thread where people post their rosters and then people can vote and comment.

Ya, that is one of many ways though it would truely be for entertainment purposes only if done before the season starts. Lets look at recent reality as an illustration of my basic point.

After all, the Dallas Mavericks would not have been voted NBA Champions before the season started or even before the playoffs started. They would have been lucky to get out of the 2nd round as far as popular voting goes. The Lakers, Thunder, and Spurs were getting the love out West far more then the Mavericks but championships are earned on the basketball court rather then the court of public opinion. Plus the Heat and Celtics, of the East, would have been far more popular picks then the Mavericks before the 2010-11 season. Heck, the Mavericks were coming off 2 straight 1st Round Playoff exits before their veteran club beat King James and Wade for the NBA Championship.

I'm all for a poll after a full season and playoffs play out. That would be worth some weight but not a poll before any games are played next year. That would be both silly and foolish in my book.

For those intersted in TRUTH.........we have to wait for time to play out to see what veterans age well or decline rapidly and what young players grow as their GM projected them to grow.

I add some fire power to my bench with the selection of :

Carl Landry

In Landry I get excellent post scoring off the bench. At 6'9 240 was going to win 6th man until he got traded to the Sac Kings and was made a starter. I really like the inside / outside of he and Jason Richardson off the bench. I think he is an excellent addition and my roster is really coming together.

sultanofatlanta u r up

[HawkItus]

I select Anthony Randolph......big, talented, and athletic he is a poor man's KG. I think our team and coaches can get him to the level he should be playing.

K Durant

D Blair

A Bynum

A Iguodala

S Nash

Raymond Felton

Greg Oden

Anthony Randolph

Diesel you are on the clock.

[Diesel]

With the Next Pick in the draft, the GanstaSlappas Select:

Shawn Marion (NBA CHAMPION).

Probably the best defensive SF in the game. He is 5th in double doubles amoungst Sfs.

However, here's the great part... Defensive stopper. During these past playoffs.. He shut down: Kobe.. Durant... then QUEEN James.

Who wouldn't want that on your resume.

you had to get a shot in on my man huh lol....well with my next pick I'm going with Jose Calderon. A guy off the bench backing up Billups who can shot the heck out of the pill and is a gifted passer. His defense is lacking but with the rest of the players I have I think we can hide him a bit

and with my next pick I'm taking Carlos Delfino

We pick Tracy McGrady

Elder statesmen at the age of 32. Can still shoot, can still score, has looked good playing defense. He's going to bring experience, size, ball handling and he can still play
