I just got off a plane, I'll be picking soon. Also, I probably would have taken Dwight (or another unnamed forward) over Unnamed Forward #1.

For an 11-15th pick, just as I said...and I would have drafted an unnamed SF Isn't the NBA saying "if you're take a risk, go big"? Or something like that. Also, I'm a Dwight fan. That might have something to do with it.
I see no reason why anyone would trade out of the top 6 (well, the top 7 now). I think there are 6 guys who are good enough to build a championship-level team around, and for any other player (or group of players) it's a challenge.

If there were a dominant big man around like Shaq or Duncan, I wouldn't have. But there are a ton of really excellent small forwards that aren't a huge drop-ff from Lebron. There's another reason, too, that I probably shouldn't share, but it's easy enough to figure out. And as for Kobe, he's demonstrated in the two finals he's been in recently, that without someone better than him, he self-destructs and takes his team down with him. And since there's nobody better than him right now, that means you can't really build a championship team around him.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (User01 @ Jul 26 2008, 10:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>does injury-pronenocity matter in this?</div> Not necessarily, no. But remember that your peers will be voting for the teams they think would make the playoffs/championship. So, if you have a team filled with all injury-prone guys, someone could easily say: "They won't stay healthy for the entire year, so that team won't make the playoffs as a result, etc" It's okay to take one or two guys who might have had a few injury plagued seasons, but I wouldn't fill a roster with them.

This is taking a lot longer for drafting than I expected. 12 rounds will take long. Couldn't we say something like next saturday at 3 PM Eastern time everyone must be online. If not then drop out and 1 of the 4 people on the replacement list will get their spot? A limit of 20 minutes per pick. Otherwise 12*30 = 360 picks. 360 picks taking an average of 3 hours per pick + sleep time when no one picks (9 hour range) 1080 hours / 15 hours per day of picking time. That's looking at 72 days to get this done.
