First S2 NBA GM Draft Discussion Thread

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of the last few picks. Harpring is definitely a steal, and Blake is ideal for a backup point guard, but the rest.... eh.</p>

Ah well, more for me to pick from when I finally get up!</p>

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Premier)</div><div class='quotemain'>Boo RebelSun. Boo. One pick before me, too.</div>

You know I like Ronnie.</p>

 

I'll get the first post on the selection thread up to date later today

</p>

We're talking about the same guy with a dismal 11.4 PER, 41.8 eFG%, 51.0 TS% that's too slow to keep up with athletic point guards, right? </p>

</p></div>

We're also talking about a guy that has won three rings and has come up big in the playoffs time after time again.</p>

Now how has he accomplished what he has accomplished if his statistics aren't that great?</p>

 

Like the Quinton Ross pick a lot, I'm sad he's off the board.

 

What do you think of Brendon Haywood?

Tell Eddy to keep his hands up and protect his face during practice. </p>

I'm pretty thrilled I was able to nab Harpring this late in the draft. I strongly considered taking him with my 5th round pick. He's one of the best 6th men in the NBA and is a perfect fit for my team. He's an aggressive, physical defender who's tough as nails and provides veteran leadership, as well as the ability to spend some time at both shooting guard and power forward if need be. He's not too shabby on offense either.

 

i like the ross and haywood picks. good picks. haywood especially, that's one of the defensive centers i was thinking about.

 

Balkman is a good pick. I wanted him.

I'm not arguing that Fisher is not clutch. I'm arguing that he is not good. </p>

 

Balkman is a very good pick. I considered him.

Harpring is a quality role player, you just have to hope he stays healthy. </p></div>

He's played in 77, 71, and 78 games in the last 3 seasons. </p>

</p>

he kind of messes up my whole alphabet scheme, but i didn't really like anyone else left this round. </p>

 

I think Dorell Wright could end up being a major steal this late.

 

I was suprised he was still there. I doubled checked but no one took him.

A period during which his MPG have been steadily going down. </p> [/QUOTE]

True, but I don't need him for any more than 25 mpg, so he'll be fine in my system. As for Dorell Wright, meh. </p>
