[Spencer]

Pau had the most win shares.

I think Arenas wouldve been up there had it not been for injuries.

[kobe]

Sexy

[Spencer]

Good draft.

[kobe]

Thinking C D+ D+ B C+ A

[Spencer]

Arenas is gonna be our first D+ defender. Gotta make the offense good enough for it not to matter.

B C+ C D+ D+ A

That's fine as long as he's a good shot blocker and got high pot  sir

[kobe]

and high C+ reb he was a good rebounder

[kobe]

Make Diop a good shot blocker w/ high pot too plz just in case I don't get Chandler

[Stevie B]

Fun!

[2 years left]

Ah more bad Cavs picks

[Galo]

Looks like it will be between Arenas and Gasol for #1.

[Andrew]

Love Tyson Chandler types in BBS. Just need my big guys to bang down low for boards and blocks.

[Andrew]

Eddy Curry was amazing last version

Guesing Pau will go first. Probably more developed less potential. People will be scared to take Gil with D+ defense I think. Arenas turns it over some too.

[Spencer]

JRICH!

Well said. I think Parker looks interesting.

[Andrew]

Tony Parker top 5?

[Spencer]

Parker will be raw I think.

[Spencer]

But should be in the discussion for top 5.

Its gonna raw upside vs help now but for how long?

[2 years left]

Pau #1, no debate.

[Spencer]

Really excited to start the drafts. Wanna shake it up and do things differently.

[Andrew]

Gerald Wallace was really good last version too. Love a guy like Dally coming off the bench backing up both PF and C to get 2 blocks a game in 15ish minutes.

[Spencer]

Its actually a really great draft.

Damn I did a good job of everything so far.

[Andrew]

Lot of solid backups available in the mid to late round

[2 years left]

Troy Murphy should be a good SF here
