NBA Draft HotelBlue Winner!

[Cowtown Cat]

He's one of those guys who is better than the votes he'll garner. Always tough to balance building the actual best team you can vs. taking guys the casual fan knows or thinks are good players.

It’s crazy how under the radar that guy is. I guess it’s a combination of having a common name and playing for the Hawks. Not entirely sure, but it’s very odd.

I think you're right, plus the general lack of interest in big men. You have to be a star to really be well known, but no one sees the Hawks play.

Now, his numbers are inflated because he plays for the Hawks. But he's a good young player. Fits nicely alongside LeBron and Steph too.

The injuries are worrisome but the potential there is just too much to pass on. My apologies to gonzo

[Cowtown Cat]

Yeah, @drcats2013, is just itching to make his next pick. Scratch that itch, bud.

Don’t mind if I do lol: give me CJ McCullum. You’re up man

 

[DraftCat]

@Cowtown Cat you up sir.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Give me the best rim protector in the league. I’ll take Gobert. I’ll take it even further and say he’s the best defensive big man in the league. Not to mention, a good rebounder.

My team is shaping up to be a defensive monster, still with some scoring punch. I’ll take it.

He quite literally shut the league down. Nice pick

 

[WildMoon]

I hate all you guys team now.

The ****.

It was so hard not to pick him

 

[JHannibalSmith]

I’ll take Domantas Sabonis. @jrpross OTC

You SUCK!!! Lol.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I thought hard about taking Sabonis. He’s a talent.

 

[Nkycatfan17]

I’ll take Domantas Sabonis. @jrpross OTC

Was torn between him and JJJ but I didn’t want both my bigs to be non 3 point threats. Great pick surprised a 24 year old all star lasted this long

 

[Nkycatfan17]

This draft really makes you appreciate how much young talent is in the nba right now. The future of the league is certainly bright.

 

[jrpross]

I’ll take Domantas Sabonis. @jrpross OTC

Ah perfect. I’ll take De’Andre Ayton. I was torn between him & Sabonis. But I’m definitely happy with Ayton. Dude could be a top 3 center in the league really soon.

@UKNorse do your worst...

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

You guys should do a one-time trade option.

 

[DraftCat]

Small Forward players are starting to dwindle so let me grab a super good 24 year old who really stepped it up for the Suns this year.

Kelly Oubre Jr.

@YaySports you are up

 

[GoBigBlue712]

Are we allowing players that will be drafted beyond this year to picked since it’s seven years this time? I have a few college guys from next year’s draft class I would like.
