    Just found out we won the tie-breaker with SA and Den and will end up picking 24th in the Draft! Not the tie breaker I wanted to win, but I'll take it!:cheers:

    In the 2nd round, we got
    32/33 From LAC
    38 From NY
    55 From DEN
    56


    Although we have a low pick, KP will work Day Day Magic again.
    But first..PLAYOFFS!

    From the No. 1 pick two years ago to the 24th pick this year? Amazing. A sign of exactly how far we have come!

    I know its all about the playoffs, but I want KP to pick up a project center. Joel is in his prime and Greg..we just don't know enough yet.

    PF (backup of course)
    SF/C
    SG

    would probably be the order i'd go for on team needs. But all can change if there is a very talented player still available and you may go for BPA. Who knows.

    Is it too late to start the "tank for Blake Griffin" campaign, then?

    there is tyler H right there too. Austin daye.....Patrick Patterson.....Craig Brackins...Craig Monroe georgetown. but you know we have this guy.....http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Joel-Freeland-1055/ Joel Freeland....

    i say if we can sell out picks for future picks that would be great but i think bayless will want out so if we find a guy under the radar and get him in a trade...but i dont like this draft all that much...the worst ive seen in a long time..i am normally pumped about the draft not this one.

    James is "testing the Waters". So his status is up in the air. DX has you guys getting Chase Budinger.

    Given the general consensus of this draft pool, I'm hoping for the 2009 version of Federico Kammerich

    Nice that we won, but we I think it should automatically be the inverse of how the playoff tie breakers played out (for playoff teams). Wouldn't be fair for a team to lose a tie breaker because they had a 0.15% less against division opponents, then have to pick after the team they lost to.

    Why am I having a difficult time getting pyched about this announcement? :confused:

    I'm not saying there aren't going to be any keepers in the draft, but at 24th I can only assume we're talking about a long term project or a no talent 'hustle' guy.

    Time to start consolidating.

    Rudy Fernandez was drafted at pick #24 and Nic Batum was drafted at pick #25.

    Pritchard is pretty good at finding playable talent late in the first round.
