I’ll pick here shortly. Have 4 teams interested in the pick. Seeing if anything pans out.

Edit: 2 teams dropped out, 2 more jumped in. Actively talking. Will pick in 30 mins if no deal. Sorry to hold up the draft.

We put them up for newer GM’s though
Bibby: Good at everything, amazing potential, May end up being best player in draft
VC: high explosiveness and high athleticism (aka rating inflation), unknown whether he can score or not, and can’t shoot 3s. Oh and just as bad rebounder as Bibby.

I wouldn’t even take VC at 4 with those notes.
Yeah he did get a boost after simming…

Typical rip on Brad pick. Or Brad gets just outside the obvious picks. Or Brad gets the name guy that never develops or develops after his rookie contract expires.

Im legitimately rooting for VC to be a star for you, if it makes ypu feel any better.

Earlier in the draft, I felt like Harrington had the better chance to drop to me at 8 between him and Shard, but I valued Harrington much more so I wasn't willing to make that risk. It didn't pay off, but I did obviously get Al who was first overall on my board.

This time, I wanted Clark at pick 8 and Hughes at 11, but I felt Clark had a better chance to fall to me at 11 while Hughes definitely didn't. But since the gap was closer, I was willing to risk it and it paid off this time.

My goal was to walk away with Harrington and Shard. But Harrington, Hughes, and Clark is still a really nice draft. Clark is very much my type of big. Low volume and high value defense and rebounding. Happy to pair him with Ben Wallace long term

Was kind of hoping Brad Miller at the bottom of the notes would result in him falling to 15 :P darn Grizz! haha

No one good left.
Probably trade this for future picks and get nothing out of it.

Surprised Kandi and Tractor fell out of top 10… I thought I gave them pretty good notes.
