Isiah Thomas

That's who I was thinking.

And I'm surprised nobody took Paul Pressey in this past round. He was a solid, versatile guy (14/5/8/49%) who could play 3 positions and is a 93 on defense.

C - Howard / Salley (97 D)
PF - Walton / Ibaka / Odom
SF - Bird / Odom
SG - Kukoc / Starks
PG - Nash (passing) / Knight (passing)

I whiffed on Gerald Wallace. I only saw the 2002 Slam Dunk appearance. I missed 2010. If I had grabbed him... I'd have 5 guys with a 90 or better rating on defense.

Still, Ibaka has an 88 rating. But, he has flaws on offense.


[Note: How quickly did Wallace drop off by the way? He was obviously pretty solid as recently as 2010. He's one of the worst offensive guys in the league now.]

I was surprised no one picked Ron Harper in the dunk contest round.

7.3 mil and def rating of 93.

He was already taken.

Right? RIGHT???

I had him at #3 on my list, but saw Harper '00 and assumed it was Harper. I was even going to ask to make certain. Rob has hm.

You guys mean I made a decent pick? Judging by my team I wasn't sure I had any...
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Anyone else excited about simulations starting? After tomorrow's round, if some of you send me your depth chart, I could start a few simulations that night.

I'm disappointed with my team. I really dropped the ball not drafting those 2 picks.

I thought this was going to be a very important round for my team, but it's deeper than I thought it would be. Lots of guys above the 7 million mark.

Really wish I knew how to look up salary or defensive ratings.
