I don't think there's a rookie available that would've been a better pick for you than Carter.AlaskaHawks wrote:Sure did miss that.fpliii wrote:Not looking to help out the opposition per se, but I think some people may have missed this in the OP:
When choosing Olympians, you can choose the year before they were in the Olympics or the year after they were in the Olympics. For example, Tyson Chandler was in the '08 Olympics. You could choose 2008 or 2009 Tyson Chandler. That choice is up to you. However, once Tyson Chandler is picked, he's totally off the table. Also, if you want to choose an Olympian who was in college during his particular Olympics, you can choose his rookie year in the NBA. For example, Stacey Augmon was in the '88 Olympics, if you want to choose him, you could choose '92 rookie Augmon.

Probably not, but I'll need to read more carefully in the future.

I looked at him honestly but I love efficiency with my players and unfortunately that was never one of his strong suits.Ghostown42 wrote:By the way, I can't believe you passed up on your boy Iverson.PhutureDynasty wrote:OK. Thanks for the help gentlemen.

If he manages to fall I'll be all over him in later rounds if he fits the category.

If he's not picked in this round, you could take him in round 8, 9, or 12.PhutureDynasty wrote:I looked at him honestly but I love efficiency with my players and unfortunately that was never one of his strong suits.Ghostown42 wrote:By the way, I can't believe you passed up on your boy Iverson.PhutureDynasty wrote:OK.

There's still a lot of good players left, this is a deep round.

Durant was my first choice, but no one's taken my 2nd choice yet. He's been overlooked. Hardaway was 3rd best in this round IMO. That was a good pick.l3bron wrote:There's still a lot of good players left, this is a deep round.

How accurate is this simulation in terms of spacing, passing and shot selection? That had a reasonable impact on my pick.Ghostown42 wrote:Durant was my first choice, but no one's taken my 2nd choice yet. He's been overlooked. Hardaway was 3rd best in this round IMO.

I stole it off your desk. You have Steve Alford listed in R3. I guess that makes sense with your "keep it white" theme.AbeVigodaLive wrote:I wasted my morning researching this rd.

Taking a break from the board. Please reference my last post for more details if you are interested.
