Current Players only NBA Draft

Sorry but I knew I'd have to pick a center now as all of you first three in the draft are still in need of one so the options would've been drastically reduced once it would've been my turn again.
I'm still pissed that @JaffyJoe picked Millsap I had hopes he'd go under the radar and I might get him in the 5.the round.

I was crossing my fingers nobody would take him. The obvious picks are out of the way now, the rest of the way we will see who really knows the NBA and how well.
 
He's a beast. Scary part is he can only get better.

Agreed. He has shooting range out to the 3 point line, can defend out to the 3 point line. Quick, agile, can score in the post and a big with a good free throw percentage :lol:. In terms of upside he's just behind Davis for me.
 
Had him in mind but for slightly later. Remember the current ability is what matters and not the potential.

He's amazing though and a generational player for me.

Definitely. I like that he can spread the floor and a pick and roll with Chris Paul would be :drool: and I'm confident with my bigs switching onto smaller guards and being able to stay in front of them and guard them on defence.
 
He will be.

He is. We cannot name players who have not been drafted yet but IMO the only center who is currently better than him is the one I had picked. Other than that there are not really any center who combine both defensive and offensive game like Towns.

Marc Gasol, when fit, is up there. DeAndre Jordan is defensive juggernaut but he is not very good attacking.
 
There's still a center in there who I prefer to all but one picked so far
 
Yeah that's why I refrained. Offensively he can be pretty poor at times.

Well he cannot do anything other than dunk offensively. Then again, he's pretty amazing at dunking.
 
Massive underrating of DeAndres shooting skills going on here:

My sentiment exactly. I can see why someone would pick cousins over him too, he is the best scoring centre and when he's bothered he's a good post defender. But KAT would be in my top five with Gasol, Davis, (Is he a C/PF he plays both) Cousins and one who hasn't been mentioned either that's who I think @Skills is talking about, I should have picked Paul George first in hindsight.

That would be a pretty deadly weapon for you, yes. CP3 schooled Portland with that a couple of times last night only.

CP3 was such a big contention for me for the first pick and it broke my heart that I won't be picking him as I picked RW, not that I regret picking RW a single bit whatsoever, in fact him or Kawhi were my preference to build a team around but still, on his day CP3 is second to none which speaks volumes given it's a point guard league right now. If it comes to a matchup between them (or him and Curry) I would not be able to distinguish whatsoever, yes they are all completely different styles of point guards but in an individual match-up CP3 can at least be at par with Steph, if not outplay him. Of course that's hardly where the assessment stops and it all matters on what you have surrounded them with and how they are going to combine.
 
We pick Hassan Whiteside.

Somebody figure out who to tag.
 
@Aldo even if its a timeout somebody should tag . I was tagged at 1 30 in the night so of course I didn't make a pick till this morning.

I tagged you as soon as I could man. For some reason there were no picks for almost 12 hours, which meant RD had already timed out and your deadline had already started. Normally something like this doesn't happen in football drafts as there's a lot more activity but here no one else noticed it as well so I apologise if it led to you losing someone you wanted to pick.

As I repeated before, given it's an 8 hour clock please keep an eye on this thread from time to time and if leaving PM your pick to someone (can always PM to me without asking if no one else is online).

It's fine. I was just annoyed. Had to run around in the morning and just picked players I liked.
