Can't wait to be on the bottom I see.

Lol

It's not that bad in a short draft actually

I see what you're doing there.

Maybe change the list in the draft thread so it matches the draft order?

When does the draft start? I'll need a bit of time to go over the first part of my board.

Should be right about now.

We're going to pick 132 players in this game. However it turns out, there should be 11 extremely happy GMs at the end.

Talk about deep draft...

Bradford was taken out with a leg injury.  Let's see if this amounts to anything.  It's worth watching because he's always hurt.

Looks like they lost Trumaine Johnson for the good part of this season, if not worse

Anybody heard any news on Jalen Saunders? Jets say he is in hospital for the observation following a one car accident but there are police reports that he had a "medical condition" while driving.

Now that Knicks have signed him, I think he will see some playing time on my roster, too. A bit funny to have Early as the last draft pick.

Peeps, is that my clock running?

I didn't see the Ware one, The most well-known one I saw recently was Silva's (Piri Weepu would be another one if allblackraven saw that), but if you say George's break was more graphic than Silva's then I'm glad I haven't seen it yet. Silva's shin wrapped around the guy in a way shins aren't meant to wrap around guys.

It's hard to compare these, each one was really terrible. I watched the game when Weepu's ankle went toward the sideline but this photo today takes the cake. I'm not going to watch the George injury video, which is all over the place. People are sick.

What a horrific injury to P. George...

Son showed me a photo without letting me know first what is it of. I almost fainted. Still feeling sick.

Thank you. I know nothing about Nurkic, to be honest, but I assume that he has solid upside as well. Both knees? That sounds troublesome, but fortunately, there is still some time before the season.

Huge upside. He is only 19 yo and was one of the best players in Adriatic League. Like all young players, he needs to do a lot of work on defense but he is a great offensive weapon as of right now I think. Moves impressively well for a guy that size. Hard to stop in the paint.

There were no details about knee issues, he mentioned both knees in an open letter to public, after Bosnian basketball union slammed him for pulling out of the national team without consulting their doctors. Nurkic opted to get examined by someone else, whom he obviously trusts more.

I like Gobert pick. It was between him and Nurkic for me. In hindsight, after reading today that Nurkic is out of World Championship with MRI revealing problems on both knees, should have gone with Gobert maybe.

holy crap! Sorry guys...

Gimme a minute or two

You get Antoine Walker

Imagine how are we going to like all the teams in the all time NBA draft. That's if we actually play it.

My young team just got younger with two decent prospects. Good developmental guys and I think both might see some playing time this year.

It's hard drafting European players - you can never tell how would they respond to NBA game but Nurkic has all the tools to succeed and he is very young, shouldn't have had enough time to pick up bad habits yet. He moves impressively for a guy his size.

Smith is a great passer and had a very good summer league. I think he was underrated in this year's draft.

Is MoveThoseChains still playing, or have his chains been hung up for the season?

I see what you did there. And that's a great question. I hope we find out soon.

I PM'd him, as usual.

About 3 hours until skip

Are you playing 3 extra rounds? If you are, it's your turn.

I'll pick full squad. Shortening a clock to 12 hrs makes sense..

There is an abundance of talent, but none of these remaining guys will make or break the final teams for my rankings... My top 5 teams are going to stay the same regardless of the men taken because of how their primary players are set... Injuries do happen, but I highly doubt that they'll take out an entire starting 5.

Oh and btw. Top 5 teams in no particular order

Appreciate the top 10 ranking. Didn't think I was disadvantaged by picking last, since I had the luxury of being the first GM to pick two players. If Rose can return to health and form though, I reckon I should be able to crack the top 5.

Take care of yourself and get well.

Managed to sneak in my first pick, but thanks anyway. You still have my board for the next one if needs be.

OK

Sorry, work again found a way of disrupting fun.

My second pick's probably a reach, so if you swears on the precious* not to take him I'll send over all the guys I'm eyeing up atm. Cheers.

 

*Unless he's one of your guys, in which case I'll take your word.

Uhm, my router decided to have a seizure. I trust you got PM reply. I'm not targeting any of them.

Work's about to pick up for me - no candidates for my board?

Send it to me. Just cleared up few errands, not leaving desk today.

So???

Lol, never thought I'd see hippies around here

I know next to nothing about Calathes 

He was always solid defensively and he's not a bad passer. Had a really good his last European season. Hard to gauge how well can he do in the NBA with little playing time he got with Grizzlies.

Yeah.... I'm an idiot. Get used to it lol.

I confused him with a player I scouted this year very thoroughly that went at the end of the first round..... To put other things in perspective I called Dwight Howard a Running back when talking to other people about stuff in person to show how tired I am....

When I'm not exhausted and do have caffeine in my system I'll probably go into a rage

It's all happened because they called you Sammy.
