With much road weariness, I took the man that defines averaging more turnovers per game than assists, steals and blocks combined.

Went with Duhon because I thought most of the leftover PG's were crap after him. He's an above average defender and can play enough minutes to make Ford's job easier. Also is a decent insurance policy if Ford gets hurt. Considering last year he was picked 40 spots earlier by Pegs, and this year he should be a starting PG for the Knicks, I think it's a good pick

I like your frontcourt, but your primary ballhandlers being Wade, Fisher, and House makes me nervous.
That was a good pick in Louis Williams. I was strongly considering taking him with one of my two picks.
whoever is editing the selection thread, REALLY needs to learn to tell time (looks at Zae THRICE). If last pick was at 1:03 est, then 6 hours from then is 7:03 est, not 7:23 est.

I just keep refreshing the page and the time that I noticed when the selections thread was updated was at the :23 mark so my bad...

Stats are ok and all, but I just take them with a grain of salt. Basic stats are just that: basic stats.
Regardless of your view of stats, do tell me what you think would happen if you fielded a team who's offensive PER (for each player in the lineup) is less than the PER of the player he guarded.
