Spades (Ballaholic)

Best Pick:
Had some good picks, like Larry Hughes in Round 6, but the best one in my opinion was Mehmet Okur in Round 5. Don't let his lack of athleticism fool you, this guy can play. Last year he averaged close to 20-10, before I stopped paying attention to him, so I don't know how he finished the season.

Worst Pick:
There were a few where I was like "what the f*ck", like Dalembert in Round 9, but the one that sticks out is Brent Barry in the 12th round. He used to be a good player, but now you could've easily picked him in the FA pool. Especially when other guards like Deron Williams were still on the board.

Overall Grade:
B-


Faithful Skeptics (Alchemist)

Best Pick:
Haha, kept on complaining about me stealing her (I'm not sure but I think you're a girl) picks, but she still had a good draft. I'd say her best pick was Boris Diaw in Round 3. This guy is simply a stat stuffer, exactly what you need for fantasy ball. Points, rebounds, assists, blocks, this guy does it all. He's a nightly triple double threat.

Worst Pick:
I'm gonna have to say Andrew Bogut. I know he had a decent first year, but there were better centers still on the board, not to mention that he's out the first two months or so. I don't see him doing much better than last year. Maybe 11 points and 7 boards. Decent, not amazing though. His breakout year will be next season.

Overall Grade:
B+


mostincredible_squad

Best Pick:
Maggette in Round 6 was alright, although a huge gamble. This guy hasn't been healthy for a while. But the best pick was Sam Cassell in Round 7 especially considering that Shevy took Luke Ridnour in Round 4. Every time we think Cassell's done, he comes back and has a season like the last. Although he won't do as good this season as last, he'll be close. Good pick.

Worst Pick:
Mike James in Round 5 was pretty bad, but the worst pick that stands out to me is Rasheed Wallace in Round 4. There were definitely better forwards still available, like Mehmet Okur and Zach Randolph (assuming he stays healthy). Rasheed's a solid player, but you could've gotten him in a later round.

Overall Grade:
C



The Butchers (Raptors Forever)

Best Pick:
Despite what you may think, you had a decent draft. Reggie Evans was a really good pick up in the last round. But I like the Josh Smith pick the most. I yelled "F*CK" when you took him, and then my roomate looked at me funny, but that was a good pick. This guy is gonna have a big year. He gets 2 blocks per game, has improved his shooting a lot over the last year to the pont where he even has three point range now.

Worst Pick:
I'll cut you some slack cause your internet was f'd up, but Tyson Chandler was pretty bad. I dunno if it was you or the computer who picked him, but either way, are you serious? In Round 7? Al Harrington was picked two picks later, and he's much better than Chandler.

Overall Grade:
A-



msklifesux

Best Pick:
Troy Murphy, nightly double-double, 8th Round. Enough said, this was a solid pick. This guy is gonna bite me in the ass for not taking him when I had the oppurtunity.

Worst Pick:
Andre Kirilenko was a huge gamble in the 2nd round, but I don't get the Damon Jones pick. Why is it that every time a player goes to Cleveland, their production always goes down? He's consistently inconsistent, always having a good game then follows it by 4 bad games. He was alright in Miami, but he sucks in Cleveland's system

Overall Grade:
C


Sir Kill-a-lot

Best Pick:
I liked the Al Harrington pick. He may be a selfish dick, but he's productive. His scoring may go down a bit this year to about 15 ppg, but he's always good for 7-8 boards, 2 assists, and 1 block. That's good enough for me, and really good for the 7th round.

Worst Pick:
I don't know what you were thinking with Derek Fisher in the 10th Round. You probably could've gotten him in the 14th round. His days as a starter are over. He's no longer on Baron Davis's team, so he won't take minutes from the injured starter no more. And he' what, like 36? He's old man, this guy's done!

Overall Grade:
C-


B-dot Hustle

Best Pick:
Paul Pierce, easily. I was gonna take him too, then you nabbed him right before me. That's about all I can say.

Worst Pick:
Ooh there were many. Morrison in Round 7 was bad, Butler in Round 5 was bad too, but the worst was Carlos Boozer in Round 4. This guy is always injured, he plays like every 3rd game. He was productive two years ago in Cleveland, but now all I can say is krazy.gif

Overall Grade:
D+



Araujos (Thorbs)

Best Pick:
Dude you stole Dwight Howard from me! Yahoo ranked him #35, or something ridiculous. He's defintely a top 25 talent. He's gonna cause problems for years to come. think 20 points, 13 rebounds for the next 10 years.

Worst Pick:
Man you could've gotten him as a FA instead of drafting him in the 9th f*ckin round. Especially being a Raptors fan, you should know that he's limited to shooting threes. Man I don't get that pick.

Overall Grade:
C-



Tha Noob

Best Pick:
Umm, there's not that many, but assuming he stays healthy, and plays like he did last year, Marcus Camby was a really good pick. Gerald Wallace was a good pick too. Does a little bit of everything.

Worst Pick:
Alright get ready for this. I can't choose just one, so I'll just list all the picks that I don't like. Baron Davis (alays injured, will piss you off extremely), Damon Stoudamire (Had major injury, son't know if he'll make it back this year), Bruce Bowen (Good defender, but defence doesn't give many fantasy points), and Beno Udrih (Could be useful one day, but he gets limited minutes, and Pop doesn't like him).

Overall Grade:
F



Colangelo's Crew (Shevy)

Best Pick:
Man, I've gotta give it to ya, I'm impressed with your draft. Their all solid picks, from 1 to 15. There's not really one pick that stands out to me, but if I've gotta choose, I'd say that Rafer Alston was probably the best, considering you got him in the 8th round. He's a top 20 point guard, gives you points, assists, threes, and steals. He's gonna have a good year, I can feel it.

Worst Pick:
The one pick I didn't like was Luke Ridnour, in the 5th round. I don't see this guy improving much this year. e'll get the same numbers as last year. About 12 points, 6 assists, a steal here and there. He's good but not great. The fact that you got an equal point guard in Rafer Alston three rounds later should say something.

Overall Grade:
A-



$pider_loc (vince_carter 15)


Best Pick:
Man you've got the assists locked up with Steve Nash, Raymond Felton, and Andre Miller. All three were excellent picks. Especially since you got Andre in the 7th round. Also, the Darius Miles pick wasn't as bad as you make it sound

Worst Pick:
Well time to suck up to the commish. All your picks were great! I liked each and every one of them! smile.gif

Alright seriously now, what the f*ck were you thinking when you drafted Kyle Korver in the 9th round. You know that he's just a shooter who will give you 10 points and nothing else right? I'm serious, there was much better available

Overall Grade:
B
middeljohn
Sorry, I forgot to name Araujo's worst pick. It's Matt Bonner.
Raptor Forever
I'll admit it, I chose Tyson Chandler. I wanted a centre and he was the best centre availble (i think), and since i swtiched the draft box to centres only, than i kind off forgot there was other players avilable, I still think he'll improve from last year.
For my worst pick i would say it was J.O'Neal in the second round, is the computer that stupid? i hope he has a good year without any injuries pray.gif
I'm looking forward to Jameer Nelson, Nenad Krstic, Josh Smith, deng and Stephon to break out this year (or at least improve) or else im f'd (that's almost my whole team wtf.gif )
Anywyas McDyess and gomes will for sure have break out years!

nice ratings

btw when you chose Kaman and rudy gay i yelled f'k twice
T.Parker - nice pick up

Kyle Korver nails 3's!!! Nash, Mike Miller and Korver will give me a good # of 3s. Korver was also 5th in the league in 3s made.

He says he's ready for his 1st game. But at max. he might just miss the first week. Expect him back the 2nd week.

rofl.gif Rasheed does everything man. Randolph's a lazy ass bum.

Otherwise your rankings pretty good. lol my turn now!

T. Chandler
L. Deng
B. Gordon
N. Krstic
M. Williams
A. McDyess
E. Dampier
R. Gomes
R. Evans

Best Pick: Nenad Krstic. Period. Others were about where they would normally go. Your teams decent man. Stop the hating.

Worst Pick: O man. Erick Dampeir. Hell there's better FAs left than Erick Damiper. Hell he's so useless i cant even spell his name right. Erika.

Overall Grade: B

L. Ridnour
A. Nocioni
W. Szczerbiak
R. Alston
Kenyon Martin
C. Mobley
P. Brezec
G. Hill
Sh. Williams
R. Rondo
S. Telfair

Best Pick: Rafer Alston was a good pick up and then you dropped him. I have 1st waiver priority so you bet your ass ill be all over him. Grant Hill could be decent enough as well. He slipped a lot in this draft.

Worst Pick: Primoz Brezec. This guys the biggest vagina ever. I would take Perkins over him. Not to mention, Ely's goin to be on his ass all year long. I picked him last year in the RBDL in the the 5th round!! And that's because Scott took him in the 4th round (i believe) of the RBFL so i thought he would turn out ok. And you can guess how that turned out.

Overall grade: A-

Spades (Ballaholic)

L. James
T. McGrady
J. Johnson

M. Okur
L. Hughes
Z. Randolph
T. Ford
S. Dalembert
M. Dunleavy
Z. Pachulia
B. Barry
D. Gadzuric
J. Salmons
Ti. Thomas

Best Pick: Larry Hughes slipped a lot. That was a good pick up. T-Mac slipped more than he should have. Good pick up.

Worst Pick: Shaq. Good luck winning the FT% cat. Also he's goin to miss a lot of games near the end of the year because of "rest" and that's when we'll be in the middle of the playoffs. You want another one? Brent Barry. Waste of a pick. He's not goin to play that much and is an insignificant fantasy contributor. He's only playin 15minutes/game. You could've taken Bell, Deron Williams, Frye, Eddy Curry, Kevin Martin, hell even gamble on Gerald Green.

Overall Grade: B-

D. Milicic
B. Wells
J. Childress
K. Perkins
C. Bell
G. Green
B. Cook

Best Pick: Kendrick Perkins. You stole him from me lol. Charlie Bell was good too. Gerald Green makes a decent gamble. All the others were about where they should be.

Worst pick: The Villian. I mean Larry Hughes went after him. Replace Villian with Hughes and take Troy Murphy/Harrington over Bogut and that's all you need.

P.S. I thought you were a guy lol.

M. Bonner
P. Brown
D. West
S. Parker
K. Thomas
D. Wesley
J. Foster

best Pick: I swear to god if he was there for this draft, he would've raped it. No joke. This man's serious. Look at his first 5 picks. But he's still a threat with his trading skills. I thought his team would be sh|t in the past leagues i played with him, but he always ends up beating me. Now he wont lol. I like Kenny Thomas at the spot he went and also Jeff Foster.

Worst pick:

Matt Boner. Matt pops it when he shot 3 pointers. Now he's goin to pop it on the bench. PJ Brown. He's gonna suck.

Overall Grade: B+

M. Harpring

Best Pick: Troy Murphy. Boy did he slip. Hell, when AK47 goes down, Harpring's goin to get his minutes. Hey, win-win situation.

Worst Pick: I dont like Wade over Dirk. Wow! Lafrentz fooled you too? He fooled me last year. Buckner's doesnt deserve a roster spot.

Overall Grade: C

G. Payton
C. Atkins

Best Pick: Danny Granger. He might start for the Pacers. Battie will also be a starter. I like his first 6 picks. Carlos Boozer will be good this year. Book it.

Worst Pick: Payton. Jumaine Jones. Hell, he's goin to drop a few and pick up FAs cuz he could'nt make it to the draft. He'll be competitive.

Overall Grade: B

Yeah he's a gamble, but if he stays healthy then I don't care.
alchemist
Man, am I ever happy I drafted Villanueva and Bogut in the 6th and 7th rounds. I know I was criticized at the time, but I can already tell that I'm gonna love the two of them playing together. Nice stat lines from both of them tonight.
middeljohn
I'm considering taking back my criticism of Carlos Boozer. When I last checked he had almost 20 rebounds and about 20 points. If I was 70 I'd give him "kudos" for that performance. Now let's just see if he can play more than a third of the season.
