he's perfect to pair with an undersized guard like curry or Allen Iverson kind of deal. Even Dwyane Wade really

Yeah he is. Hypothetically, I'm hoping Harden is the guy he could be in the backcourt next to that would excel his game the most.

Nice grab in Evan Turner

For some reason I like Shaun Livingston and his game. At 6 foot 7, he is very lengthy which causes trouble for opposing point guards. He also has the ability to guard shooting guards and small forwards with that size. On offense, he bring a little bit of everything, besides 3 point shooting. I just like his overall game, and it's a shame he had a devastating injury early in his career. Glad to see him get a ring.

The True Detectives Select:

Shaun Livingston, PG

You're on.

Cool. I'll make my pick within 30 min

Haha you know it.

 

As I told Truth, I met him at a burrito shop down the street from where I lived last semester. He's a really nice guy, so I had to take him. 

That's awesome. I hope he develops into a solid player and good professional, on and off the court. 

I didn't expect people to have Turner towards the top of their board, I was hoping to draft him in this upcoming round or the round after. Leave it to the Texas fan Nice grab, he had a great summer league. Also.. "Myles is a little bit better than I thought he was," said Bird. "He’s got a talent that we don’t have here. He’s going to play a lot of minutes." That's always encouraging.

Pretty much taking guys I like at this point. McCollum does have insane upside though. He averaged 17 points, 4 boards and a steal during his coming out party in the playoffs. With Wes and Afflalo gone, he's poised for a nice year.

I took notice of the Blazers upcoming roles with so many departures, but I forgot about CJ. He should have an expanded role, like Davis and Plumlee. Nice upside pick

Was considering Plumlee nice pick

These teams are stacked

Was thinking the same haha. A lot of nice squads

Good pick in Davis. He was on my shortlist. Was my main back up option for John Henson.

Thanks. Glad he was on someone else's shortlist as well.

With Draymond and Smoove being more versatile forwards, I wanted a more traditional backup. Davis brings athleticism with the ability to grab boards and block shots. He has a chance to start in Portland this year, where I could see him playing a nice role.

The True Detectives Select:

Ed Davis, PF/C

How much longer until skip?

Great pick in Thad. He was one of the best talents left on the board. Solid energy guy who is slightly undersized for a power forward, but that doesn't stop him from playing his game. Doesn't need to shoot a jumper to score 15-20 points, and versatile defensively. He should continue to put up solid numbers for the Nets next to Lopez in these upcoming years. And I feel like he's been in the league for like 10+ years, but he's only 27.

Hasn't been a big man that could make the game look this pretty in a while

 

 

 

What impresses me most is that he's already that polished at such a young age. I watched a ton of Duke games this year, and he always stood out. Winslow went #10, another teammate got drafted this year. And Jah stood out from those two, as well as anyone else on the court, the most. I think he can improve his free throw percentage to the 65-70% range in a few years. And if the Sixers are getting open and making their shots, I could see him averaging a good amount of assists right off the bat, due to his passing skills/double team frequency. Can't wait to watch him in the NBA.

Needed an athletic big man and they're all gone, settled on a project.

 

Scratching my head at who to even take at this point, don't wanna give any of the remaining guys my fictional money lol

I was considering WCS as a project, as well. Like the pick. Right off the bat he will be solid on defense and rebounds. Each year his game will expand and grow a little. If he keeps his head on right and tries hard, he has a chance at being very solid. 

If I had to make odds myself, I'd peg him as No. 2 to Okafor in ROY likelihood

Yeah I have to agree with Big Jah being the favorite going into the season. Love his game

Figured he wouldn't, but I was hoping that Mudiay would slide. I think he'll be a stud in a couple of years, and is a dark horse for rookie of the year, especially with Lawson's off the court problems

I believe E Gordon was taken already

Yup. I took him a few rounds ago

Was praying that Chandler would make it back to me. Sad to see him go.

Sorry mate. With basically my first and second team set, I had a few options at that pick. Even though I just drafted Pierce, Chandler was towards the top of my board and I couldn't pass on him

The True Detectives Select:

Wilson Chandler, SF

Damn I wanted Winslow too. Nice grab.

Lol people love to neg my picks. Brandon Jennings is a 25 year old PG who is coming off his best season as a pro where he averaged 15 points and over 6 assists a game. Please tell me how that is a bad pick in the 10th round.

I've only negged a couple of picks throughout the whole draft, as I usually let it rest or give it an up. Definitely not a bad pick in the 10th round, and like others said, it may be someone not participating in the draft who is negging 

If I didn't already have Ariza I would have given Pierce a close look-in last time around.

You're set at SF with Parker and Ariza. Ariza is a great backup
