Danny Granger

NOOOO. I was thinking Bosh would last until my next pick. Apparently he's big again.

You chose wisely.

I think I am going to reach a bit...but he offers things that will compliment King James. I choose Kevin Martin.

Lets try and make the turn tonight and get through like 10 more picks

themightypuck

Go go go.

I think Big E is in Germany, so he's probably asleep. I'm heading out in a bit so I'll send my picks to dots and Eat it

You are a true hero for doing that.

Totally expecting to come back and see Kwame Brown and Gilbert Arenas on my team

UnknownSaint

Fuuuuuuuuuck I had a list of 4-5 players I reasonably expected to be available when it came back to my pick and they are all gone now. -_-

This draft is fairly chalk. Out of 29 picks compared to ESPNs default only one expected player wasn't picked: Rajon Rondo (26) and only one unexpected player was picked: Chris Bosh (34).

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

It doesn't usually get all that interesting until the middle rounds; everybody has a fairly similar opinion of all the high end guys.

The best are when its a draft like this, not online using a ESPN Draft Room or whatever, and some awesome guy just gets forgotten until the end of round 2 or 3

It came down to Rondo or Bosh for me. I took a flier on Bosh because according to Yahoo's big board he ought to be center eligible. I probably should have gone with Rondo in hindsight.

TheBigEasy

I don't know where he will end up, but I figure if he goes to the Warriors, Rockets or Nets, as rumored, he'll have plenty of playtime ...

So I'll take Tyson Chandler



And yes ... I live in Germany. East Coast US is like 6 hours behind me, West Coast is 9 hours. So anyone on the West Coast just cleared midnight, whereas I am already back at work on monday morning .

How is FT % determined in this league? Say I have a two-man team with a guy that goes 20/20 in a game, and then a dude that goes 1/2. Is my overall FT % 75%, or is it 21/22 for 95%?

TheBigEasy

As far as I remember, it is the latter .. so you should have 95%. I think all FT's of your team are totalled up. Could be wrong though ...

But thinking some more about it. I am almost certain it is so ... this is Head-to-head, so all stats are totalled up and then weighed against your opponent that week.

UnknownSaint

I was just wondering because the format on the matchup pages only has room for FT %, not FTM/FTA.

It makes absolute sense to do it as a total, I just wanted to make damn sure.

BubbaT

You're right, TBE, it's 95%. All %s are weighted by attempts.

ESPN default is either 8- or 9-cat, isn't it?

Since we have the additional rebounding category, It should help Bosh's value.

themightypuck

Plus some of the ESPN projections seem like voodoo.

UnknownSaint

I'm going to blame last year's regression on him being too busy with the Twilight movies to focus on basketball. TELL ME WHAT I'M TALKIN 'BOUT DOC.



Awwww yeah, Rajon Rondo. (Don't you fucking make me regret this, little man.)

deadonthestreet

LCD Ballsystem takes Steve Nash and Ray Allen.

Fuckhouse is up again.

UnknownSaint

Damn, I was counting on having a little more time to figure out my next pick. I have some ideas, just going to take a bit to narrow it down.

I've been pretty quick with my selections, so give me a bit.

deadonthestreet

No problem, don't rust things.

I'm going to have to agree. Especially considering the vast potential of material out there for Nash

to have him picked with a text-only post...

Steve Nash has 5g's

jackisreal

Don't be forgetting Ray Ray!

TheBigEasy

Since I'll be going to bed soon I send dots my picks, so you guys can pick through the night and don't have to wait for me ... I wanna see at least 5 more picks when I get to work tomorrow morning!

dots can't even properly pick for himself
his pick post will reflect poorly on your team

Team Alligator Fuckhouse calls upon Brook Lopez to challenge Pau Gasol for the title of goofiest looking big dude in the league.



You don't like that, Brook?



Not exactly stating your case here, Mr. Lopez.



Come on, let's see some serious face!



Fucking...creepy. Sold!



You...you can stop now.

UnknownSaint

And here's to hoping he either benefits from having DWill giving up some pretty assists all season long, or gets dealt to Orlando and becomes the only game in town.

Very tough choice, it was between like five different similar dudes, all of them with questionable team or injury situations.

TheBigEasy

Well ... I am still awake ... so dots, no need to pick for me.

Andre Igoudala

clownfood

I am doing this from my phone so no picts at this moment. I will select mr joakim noah of the chicago bulls.

dlinfiniti

if you can't post pictures you dont deserve to pick one of the weirdest looking dudes in the NBA
my weird lookin dude all star NBA team looks like this :
Sam Cassell
Joakim Noah
Charlie Villanueva
Chris Bosh
...
i'm still workin on this

y2jake215

i know that team is already big-heavy but Chris Kaman needs to man the 5 spot

UnknownSaint

The bench for that team should have DJ Mbenga on it at least twice.



Tacos!
