RJ Highball Draft Commentary

[Riff Raff]

And Stuckey was option 1b.

Thanks guys, it was a good day, FIL is conscious and responding to some commands. They got him to stand up, so no problem with his legs, a very good sign. As the brain swelling subsides, he should keep regaining more and more of his faculties...hopefully all of them.

BTW, I thought that Asik would be safe to wait on...but nooooooooo, thanks Paul.

Good to hear.

@##$$%^&%$#@@$%^^&$ Ryno has stolen my pick two odd rounds in a row.

Gotta rethink.

That makes me feel a lot better about pulling the trigger on Rose in round nine instead of trying to wait until round ten.

I was considering waiting till rd 10 for Rose also. Would have been 1 extra year to have been kept then. I was also hoping Kidd-Gilghrist would have fallen also. I think I am the only one without a SF so far.

[Ryno84MVP]

Taking Rose was not without penalty...passed on David West hoping that he might slide to me in round ten.

[JudeBaldo]

Ryno, I was going to pick Rose instead of Rozan but in the last moment got scared off by the news that its taking him longer to rehab his knee. I also think I'm going to be competitive this year so I didn't want to taken on the risks.

9.08 - Derrick Rose - Chi - PG

Someone has to take the chance, so it might as well be the Chicago guy. At least he should be a good 6th round keeper for next year. I wanted to wait until round ten, but there are too many "sharks" picking right after me.

This. The keeper aspect is still solid, but I think the season is gone. I might have taken him for round 10, but I had already used it for Paul George. Add PG (shouldnt he play point?) to Kemba Walker and his FG% horror show, and hopefully I have a keeper for next year.

Oakland A's, nice pick up on West. He was top of my board after my pick in round 8, except if I punt FT%. Solid Big man stats for this late, without the FT% anchor. But you should have taken Brand 1st, because I almost pulled the trigger. West's FT% would be wasted on my team.

[OaklandA's]

I'm a little surprised to see Royce White get taken in the 10th Round. I was thinking of him as more of an end-game pick.

[tomhobbes]

I've got a good feeling about Royce White now that he's got his bus.

Royce White is insane...if he lasts the whole season without getting into trouble I'll be shocked.

[Riff Raff]

Sorry B-Fly - got distracted and didn't send a PM.

[tomhobbes]

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few bumps in the road, but I think he'll be fine. Generalized anxiety disorder is treatable and once he gets into a routine he'll settle down.

Oh, he's got FAR more going on than anxiety disorder, I've seen this kid mess up at the U of Minnesota until he had to leave or get tossed in jail. He managed to stay 1 season in Iowa...not exactly a long track record.

[onejayhawk]

White was not even on my list for late. that being said, huge potential.

There's been 37 players selected since midnight Friday (CST). Maybe we can reduce the time limit by a couple hours?
