    ^^^ Why's that?

    The guy has definitely underachieved, but I think he was hurt early in his career, had stellar pre-draft camps, and looked like he is starting to "get it" at the NBA level.

    Plus, he gives me a solid wing defender who also shoots 50%+

    I think there were a couple better options at that position.

    Snyder was hurt? Don't quite remember that, and he wasn't all that great on Utah. He got chances but was very inconsistent, definitely not a role player I would want to rely on.

    The only thing that Snyder ever did worth a damn in the NBA was dunk on Vakeaton Wafer's face.

    hey guys its almost 8am over there on the East Coast...like in 6mins or so. I'm gonna edit the selections page to say yinets got skipped because I don't foresee him coming on in these mins nor do I see the next guy coming in that same small time span before it really is 8am. I'm about to watch the Spain game, so I won't be here at the exact 8am mark so..I'll edit it for now and PM the next guy :D

    Hope you guys dont mind.

    It's late enough in the draft I felt like it was worth gambling on a player who is still young and has upside.

    http://www.rakemag.com/blogs/ball/2008/07/wolves-firm-roster-and-hot-cubsbrewers-rivalry

    As mentioned earlier, Minnesota now has 15 players signed, with Kevin McHale expressing the opinion that Chris Richard will also join the fold. Presumably this means goodbye to Kirk Snyder, who showed promise last season and should find a spot at the end of a good team's roster (I'd say the Celts, who remain a little thin and wouldn't hurt their defensive identity with Snyder on board).

    Go to the first page of the selection page.

    Hit ctrl+F.

    Searchbar in lower window.

    Type in "russel westbrook".

    You'll see Claud already selected him in the 6th round.

    I love these clowns that not only pick players already picked, but players picked like 5 rounds before.

    It's surprising that Kobe's fallen to the 10th round!

    For all of you drafting him and who have him in your signatures, Russell is spelled with two "l"s.
