Pick 2: Draft Order (order for Coaches round posted on pg 204)

[Roy H.]

Fields is a pretty big disappointment to me.  $6 million+ for what?  4.8 points?

I think asking him to be much more than a rotation caliber player, below average starter in the future is a bit much. I don't think he'll ever get much better.

But that said, I don't think he's nearly as bad as he's been playing.

I think Fields can easily be a 25 mpg game guy backing up the 2 and 3

The problem is that he's been getting around 22 minutes per game in Toronto, and is averaging those 4.8 points.  His defense has been spotty, and he's shooting 11% from three.  The only thing he's doing well is rebounding.

Now, hopefully he bounces back to where he was as a rookie.  However, there's a good chance that he got his contract, and will never produce like he did.

I'll take pretty much the last medium-sized contract I can afford, because I think he's too good a fit on my team to pass up.

Jason Maxiell

A strong defender, a shot-blocking presence, and a good rebounder.

I'll be picking way late

Send a list with the guys you'd want (in order), and have someone pick for you. Its the civilized thing to do.

[TheTruthFot18]

OKC takes Paul Westphal as our coach

[BigAlTheFuture]

Dallas is 7.4 and I took Speights.

[indeedproceed]

Yoki, sorry bro beans but I think you miscalculated the time. Its only 10:46 here, 7.9 isn't due until 11:20.

Agree to disagree on his defense I guess, I think it has been pretty solid.  They have opted to start Fields the last two times they played the knicks and have him match up on Melo.

In those two games combined melo was


16-48 from the field, 33%
2-14 from 3, 14%

Season averages for melo are 44% from the field and 39% from 3.

Atlanta hawks (Salary 57.1/70.3 mill)
Al horford 12mill, Robin Lopez 4.8 Mill
Kevin Love 13.6 mill
Danny Granger 13 Mill
Ronnie Brewer 854,389
Jose Calderon 10.5 Mill, Kemba Walker 2.4 Mill
7.5, 8.5, 8.22, 9.5, 9.22, 10.5, 11.5

I think Atlanta would have been better off with a pair of specialists on the wing rather than Landry Fields. A shooter behind Ronnie Brewer and a defensive SF with legitimate size behind Danny Granger.

I think that would work better than a SG/SF who can play 20-25 minutes a night. Go with a deeper bench rotation instead.

We can, if you know you won't be available to pick until after your time is up (1:50PM).

If you think you'll make it back before then, we can wait.

Or, you can figure out 3-4 guys you'd want, and we'll take whichever one is highest. If no one is available from your list, we can still skip you.

J.Maxiell is having a really good season for Detroit. Back to his best.

Oh I'm sorry. I looked at the picks and not the time, since I saw 7.9 was picked already.

I'm sorry everyone...
