enjoy, Of course players will drop out and others will improve or get worse. But here's a good taste at what you'll be getting this draft.

NOICE stuff hereBeasley will probably end up as a SF.... and Eric Gordon's scoring should be flipped but i like the looks of this class ALOT

[Ducky]

"Powerfully built but also highly skilled, Gordon is a true combo guard with a refined all around game. He can shoot from deep either off the catch or the dribble, attack the basket from any direction and can score in the midrange. He also has a dangerous post up game and can distribute the ball as well as score. Defensively he has the quickness and strength to guard any perimeter player."

[jayborne]

I'd take Eric Gordon in a second. I'd still be missing a PG, but Gordon would work well with this monster frontcourt.

awesome stuff ducky.

i can't wait to take either budinger or crittenton.

[CC]

good shit

who'd ya go for at 1? Mayo, Rose or Beasley?

[Bluedevil$]

some top notch prospects... I want one

[ifliphottboi]

my pick is looking beautiful.

[jayborne]

Hey, why is Gallinari's handling so low? I thought that was a strong point of his game?

I'm going to love this draft though. I may take Beasley if I get the chance, scary front line I will have.

I haven't had a good chance to scout international prospects yet. So if his ratings are off, that could be cuz they may change slightly.

[nova]

Whoever gets a top 10 pick, I will want it.

[Bluedevil$]

This draft seems to be loaded with PG's.

[CC]

this draft looks lotto deep or so.
