First S2 NBA GM Draft Discussion Thread

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JfizzleRaider)</div><div class='quotemain'>

Thoughts on my bench so far?</p>

Larry Hughes, Ime Udoka, Joe Smith, Joel Przybilla?</p></div>

</p>

i like 'em. hughes did pretty good with arenas, although injuries hurt him, he probably wouldn't be such a bad backup.</p>

seems like a good combination of good offensive players and defensive players.</p>

 

I like the Hump, Kleiza, and Khryapa picks this late; all good value.</p>

Hump should settle in as a (slightly poorer) David Lee type in the league. He's not skilled outside of 10 feet, but he's a bull under the hoop.</p>

Kleiza is a hot/cold guy, but he's a valuable combo F to have on the bench; interesting player. I like his intensity; plays hard. Nice to have bigs that can shoot the 3. </p>

I think Khryapa is a little underrated. He's not a scorer, but he's a pretty competent defensive/complementary guy. Hustles, very good rebounder, gets a lot of steals.</p>

 

Huge thanks to GM3 and the other global mods from me for keeping things moving and web pages updated.</p>

Family issues, work and then the merger took a lot of my time over the past couple of weeks.</p>

 

Will do thanks for the advice. Anyone who has a good offensive player everyone but LeBron and Roy are tradable</p>

Thanks, fixed how does my team look so far?</p>

PG-L Ridnour/ B Knight</p>

SG- B Roy/T Hassell</p>

SF- LeBron/ to be named later</p>

PF- J Green (he does play the 4)/ C Smith</p>

C- Z Ilgauskas/ D Mutumbo</p>

</p></div>

</p>

i like the mutumbo pick. he proved he could still play last season. </p>

all those bench players are pretty good, but...there isn't much scoring on your team, other than Lebron. may i offer some advice, and say that it'd be a good idea to pick up a solid offensive player...there's still at least 1 in the draft who can play 2/3.</p></div>

What you guys think of my pick, Elson? how about my team so far?</p>

Jason Kidd / Earl Watson
Raja Bell / Desmond Mason
Stephen Jackson /
Kurt Thomas / Paul Millsap
Marcus Camby / Francisco Elson</p>

 

Damn, I forgot about some Bigs that were just picked. I could of used them...</p>

I like the Elson pick. He's a solid rotation big man and there are very, very few left. He is better than several who were already taken.</p>

Your team is built logically and should be a nice playoff team. You have a lot of versitility and the players are solid citizens (one notable exception, but he's a dogged competitor). I would like to watch and root for this team. There are two very big problems, however.</p>

1. There is a lot of age and several injury concerns.</p>

2. This team has very little to build on for the future, and it isn't good enough to win a title now. That's a bad situation.</p>

I like the Turaif pick. I was really close between him and Najera (and one other guy), but I'm just not sure he's ever going to be more than a cheerleader.

There is some decent youth in the front court, but picking some young back court players might not be a bad idea. </p>

</p>

</div></p>

</p>

What youth? I just see Millsap.</p>

He's a terrific role player, but the ceiling is very low for him.</p>

I almost picked up Elson with my last pick, but I valued Joels shot blocking a little bit more.

 

Okay, I think I have the teams page updated. Let me know if you see any mistakes.

 

How does my team look?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Denny Crane)</div><div class='quotemain'>

If Przybill fell to me, I'd have nabbed him, but I think Petro is a good pick at this point in the draft</p>

</p></div>

</p> I hate you

Wrong Admin. I think you hate someone else.</p>

(You wanted Petro?)</p>

</p></div>

</p> Yeah, IMO he would have been the best back up for Wallace at this point. Great pick.

 

Im looking to trade Nesterovic for a quicker/smaller PF.</p>

</p>

im also want to move up in the 10th round.</p>

Im listening to offers </p>

 

I hate Petey now too.</p>

I'd be willing to trade two 10th rounders for a decent scoring center.</p>
