Round 8 UK Basketball Draft

Looking at the rosters after 6 rounds, currently I like #4 the best. But several are close, so that could change.

Seriously though, I feel like every person has done an incredible job of building their rosters. It is going to be really interesting to see how people shape their bench and the role players they choose.

I need a hero

Give me Tyler Herro.

@jrpross , am I smited? 😂

@jrpross , you're up to bat.
That’s not who I wanted fortunately, so your smiting doth be reserved for now. That’s a great pick though. I knew he’d be going soon.


I’m taking Nick Richards. I loved my pick of Oscar Tshiebwe earlier. And while I don’t agree with the sentiment that I saw from some on this board that you can’t win a championship with him as your big man, I do still want a center who can provide what he lacks and Nick is exactly that. I love my balance down low.

@chroix make me proud!

I almost took him. Alas, I couldn't pass on Herro as my 7th man. I want a team that can score 95 points per game each night in a 40-minute contest. I think I have it.

I’ll take Joe Crawford. I’m shocked I nabbed him this late.
I went back & forth on him & Knox for 20 minutes. Only took Knox bc I already have 3 similar players to JC & I didn’t have anyone like Knox yet. And, Knox would be a nice fit as a small ball 4 on this team, too. But, I was shocked that JC was still there, too. Good pick man.

Thank you for that!

Yeah I was super worried you or @choirx would steal him right before my pick again. Been happening all draft to me.

Knox would make my all Charmin squad but that’s about it. Crawford gets an E for effort but kid never progressed the way I’d hoped he would. Feels like he hit his ceiling early and often.

The trash talking has began. I like.

******************************************************

I glanced at the teams and made quick notes of what I think are the biggest weakness of each team. Let's see how they're addressed. Plenty of quality players left to do so.

That’s a lie. I’ve never once worn a chicken suit. No comment on the other accusations.
Dangit man, I had thought about him last round and had no delusions that he would make it back to me again. But then pick after pick came and went without him being taken, and my hopes started to grow. But there you went and snagged him two picks before me.

Can’t blame you though. 3 time all-SEC and Kentucky’s career assist leader. Crazy value this late in the draft!
