re: TDBBL - Draft Tonight @ 8:30 PM Central

losing that stat-filling beast may drop me from god to jesus

slow tootin his own horn all up in dis bitch

there's a poll on the homepage. 24 hrs to vote.

cat let's just look at my SIXTH ROUND

harden - young 2 who may be a 15/3/3/ guy by the end of year 1. keeper potential

deng - former top 40 guy

kirilenko - stat filler who doesn't kill you anywhere. former top 5 player

Rick has only 14 players, heads up

i only have 14 as well. i have a waiver claim in that should go through tonite.

My breakdown, then the rankings afterward:

cwill- gonna get raped in "big man categories". Has too many slasher types, gonna need to make some trades. Dont think this is a playoff team

sox- decent balance, needs some help in Reb. Bottom end is kinda weak, and didnt really like his keepers to begin with. Could be a playoff team the way he pulls shite out his arse, but as of now, i dont see it.

Gyno- good balance, bottom end is a little weak though.I think he is strong across the board minus the last few guys on his roster.

Karma- had a few WTF picks IMO, but his keepers were strong. He'll compete. Not sure about the 2 rookies he took at their respective slots. No big scoring threats outside of his keepers could hurt. has a lot of servicable big men though


Knat- actually thought he had one of the better drafts. Overall has a lot of good players. Doesnt have a legit PG though, or a shot blocker. But i think he'll def compete.

NObes- also thought he had a decent draft. Didnt like the Curry pick that early though, or Thabeet. Though he's pretty solid all around. If Thabeet or Hibbert develop into big time shot blockers/rebounders, he'll be hard to beat. I thought where he got Odom and Nelson were steals, so it made up for the questionable picks. But he is strong 1-12 so i think that will mask the potential weakness of the lsat few players.


SFP- I like his team. His top players are as good as anyone. Bottom is kind of weak though. I think his top 11-12 are as good as anyone's though. Got good value in the draft. Though he really doesnt have a legit PG, and looks to be mediocre on the boards.

Stout- thought he did well in the draft, but with his high picks, i thought his team would look a little better. Bench is kinda "meh". If he can get 70+ games out of O Neal, that would be good. His starters though, as of now, look to be very competitive.

Ron Mexico- bench blows pretty bad, and Birdman and Raja arent really starter worthy guys. Ariza could save an otherwise pedestrian draft, if he has a great year. Marion and Terry were good values though. Not sure what was up with the Birdman pick that early. ..will be hard to make the playoffs with current players.

Port- liked the start of his draft...kinda went downhill as it went on though. Was never really high on the guys he was keeping from the start. Reb, blks, PTS may be a problem..TMAc playing would help him out big time. I see a middle of the road team that could possibly push for playoffs

Rick- rick rick rick...I actually like what he did. He may have had the best overall draft giving each person different circumstance....he'll compete well in every category, bench is pretty strong. We'll see if Arenas can stay healthy. Definite playoff contender and possible league champ




Rankings:

1. NOBES
2. Rick
3. SFP
4. Gyno
5. Knat
6. Stout
7. Karma
8. Portcity
9. Sox
10. Cwill
11. Ron Mexico


For real guys, I think this may be more competitive year than last year. 1-9, possbily 10, is all pretty even. and 1-6 I think is even closer. Almost interchangeable.

3rd...sounds just like how my team always is

i'll bet anyone here $100 i won't finish in 6th place or worse..

damn, my team is shitty apparently
