I’m gonna bet Bird picks more lw3 guys than AHF. Just a hunch.

 @lethalweapon3

Pascal Siakam, Malcolm Brogdon, Dewayne Dedmon, Joe Harris, Dejounte Murray, Deandre Hunter
 

@AHF

Otto Porter, Lauri Maakenan, WCJr, Jarrett Culver, Sekou, Luke Kennard

 

It's a bloody tie - unbelievable.

How many picks left?

I think you have two @JayBirdHawk. Those of us with picks in this round still have three.

It's like Warmart/Kroger in Atlanta the night before a "snowstorm". The shelves are empty, everything has been picked over. But even still, we soldier on. 

His game is solid and he is developing still , but this pick is largely for the morale of the team, as with his pleasant personality and boyish good looks he can bring a smile to anyone's face.

I am swinging for the fences here and chasing the franchise ( Spurs ) that picked this player vs where he was picked in the 2019 NBA Draft. With the 140th pick in the Dynasty Draft the Flocking Buzzards select Keldon Johnson. Johnson had a decent NCAA Freshman season which included being named the SEC Coaches Freshmen of the Year; but ended it on a disappointing note in the NCAA Tournament. His two biggest plusses are his size to possibly play both wing poitions and his potential 3 point shooting prowess. This late in the draft, I feel like he is worth the risk. Please welcome to the Flock, Keldon Johnson!

With the 141st pick in the Dynasty Draft the Flocking Buzzards select Coach Quin Snyder. I like this Coach and think he is great with teams like mine who are young and need development. He took over a Utah squad back in 2014/15 that was for all intents and purposes in a tear down mode. Since taking over, he has suffered only two losing seasons and has brought his young Jazz team into prominence with his hard nosed leadership. I think he is one of the best young defensive minded coaches in the league, if not the best. Please welcome to the Flock, Coach Quin Snyder!

 

@bleachkit is up and sent a PM.

I guess it's time for a coach. Generational talent aside, the man has actually done a real fine job, winning three championships in five years. His calm demeanor belies a fiery, never-say-die competitor. He is also a firm believer in moving the ball on offense, and good effort and communication on defense (groundbreaking, I know).  STEVE KERR

I think what @bleachkit and I did was almost required to have a good lot to pick from. The pickings will be slim as heck once it gets down to my last pick of 160. I was surprised Kerr and Snyder were both available and I had a really hard time deciding between the two. 

In the end, I just thought my team being almost four to five years younger per starter than what Kerr took over with Curry, Klay, and Draymond would make him a crazy man. Probably put him back in the hospital or at least on home rest  Snyder is already a madman and pretty use to it dealing with his Jazz team.

I wanted Snyder actually, but when you picked him Kerr was the obvious choice. Sure beats taking Jim Boylen or James Borrego at the end of the draft.

With only 10 teams picking, you can still get a top ten coach. But I wanted a deep lot to choose from; so sooner was better than waiting until 160 and the last coaches pick for sure.

Take out your name drops

Yes I know, I was just using the most obscure, unproven NBA coaches to emphasize the point.

@capstone21 is up.

[capstone21]

I really like his two way potential ... Capstone’s Crew selects Josh Hart

We should have a Summer League Tourney on Y2K. We take 6 of our last player picks, five starters. one bench, and @Spud2nique loads them in. My team as a example would be:

100 - Jaxson Hayes

101 - Rui Hachimura

120 - Collin Sexton

121 - Harry Giles III

140 - Keldon Johnson

160 - Bench player still left to be picked.

I like my Summer League Team. Probably would not win many NBA games, but we could push for a Summer League Championship!

Keldon Johnson and Josh Hart were in my queue. Matter of fact next to Keldon I noted: bully on the block .

Wait, why the last 6 picks? Why not get our main dudes in.

I assumed you were going to do that one. I was thinking for a change of pace, a summer league one with our last pick filler used as the starters.

I think I loaded once a few years back. I normally don’t even create a player I just run games as regular teams but that would be cool.

I am sure I remember you doing one season a while back. I think AHF won it. I think I came in 4th or 5th but per someone, you, LW3? , I had the best outlook four to five years later. I think you had some help but do not remember the other member.
