[Jespher]

Sweet. Welcome uloj!

 

[SacKings7]

Great! So, when will we know the order? Is it tomorrow morning or tomorrow night/Thursday morning?

 

[SLAB]

Tomorrow at about 3:30!

Its on!

 

[Larry89]

I'll take Beno Udrih as my 1st pick.

 

[SLAB]

I'll take Beno Udrih as my 1st pick.

You keep your word, and you are promised the NUMBER ONE PICK!

 

[Larry89]

You have no idea the master plan I have schemed up. You can only fathom the complexity of it

 

[SLAB]

We are underway!

The draft order is up, and can a Mod edit the title to include "Round 1"

Done

 

[Jespher]

PM sent to Venom...I think there should still be some good players around be the 5th pick...

 

[Larry89]

bah 9th pick

 

[SacKings7]

6th isn't too bad. Was hoping to get a little higher, but I've had good luck in draft positions so far so I was expecting to be in the bottom few. Few players I want with the first pick, I hope at least one falls

 

[LoungeLizard]

double bah...12th pick!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Crap! I didn't see this thread floating around...I wanted to join
O well, there is always a next time.

 

[Jespher]

perhaps there is still room, if you can find some others who also want to join...Originally SLAB had hoped to have 24 draft members.

You can take my spot at the 14th pick if you'd like. I'm pretty busy lately and only joined to make an even 16. I assume that would be ok with everybody since nobody has picked yet.

ONLY if you really don't mind...I don't want to take your spot if you want to play.

 

[uolj]

Seriously, when I signed on I said if anybody wants it before the draft starts they can have it. Nobody's even made a pick yet, so it's fine by me. Let's wait and see what the commish says. Assuming it's cool with him you can have the spot.

The only stipulation is that you can't draft Jerome James, Olden Polynice or Eric Musselman.

With your spot in the draft, I'm sure they'd all be taken before he gets a chance to anyway .

I can't imagine there being a problem with you giving up your spot. People have switched out in the middle of drafts in the past without a problem.

 

[SLAB]

Yea you can switch out.
Kings Faithful, you are in.

 

[uolj]

Boom! All settled. Thanks.

 

[Kings Faithful]

K, thanks guys.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

13th??? this thing is fixed!!!

 

[Jespher]

Just a reminder...

Don't forget to send PMs to the next drafter once you make a selection. I know that you have 24 hours to make a pick, but it would be great if it didn't take that long. That way we could get several picks in each day...Thanx...Carry on.

 

[Larry89]

Hurry up and pick already

 

[Jespher]

Venom is on the clock in 2 drafts (the Dream Team and Hero Draft)...He last logged on this afternoon, so he might not know it is his turn yet...I suggest those drafters who do not check into the Lounge often should subscribe to the thread. This gives them e-mail updates when they are PMed and will let them know it is their turn to pick.

 

[Larry89]

a 24 hour on the clock seems a bit too long

 

[uolj]

Not everybody logs into the internet multiple times per day.

Heck, not everybody logs into the internet once a day. I know, scary huh?

 

[venom_7]

jeez fellas =]

I had class tonight. First pick?!? Ok. Wow. I'll be right back with one.

 

[venom_7]

Ok Ok.

While conventional wisdom says "Take Jordan Here" I refuse to be cliche and have that pick made for me. So therefore I am making the first and the second pick .

My pick:
Oscar Robertson

Inducted into Hall of Fame as Player in 1980

Drafted by the Cincinnati Royals in the 1st round (1st pick, 1st overall) of the 1960 NBA draft (territorial selection).

ppg 25.7
apg 9.5
rpg 7.5

Since we are considering players in their prime, I think a good individual season to pick out for consideration is his 61-62 campaign where he averaged a FILTHY triple double in an era long lost.

I know, this forces the second pick to be Jordan. I love having control =]. Robertson may very well have been the greatest TEAM basketball player of all time.

Summary

Grrr

I was hoping he'd be there for me at four. I think you have to go with Jordan at 1, but as an alternative, it's still an excellent pick.
