Oh, and just to be clear to everyone, I'm probably not going to draft until close to my deadline, as I will be busy from 1:30 to ~2:45.

Absolutely psyched I got Thad Young. I think he's a great third guy in an already strong front court with George and Hibbert. Strong defense, athleticism, and can hit a three every now and then.

Psyched I was able to pick up Pierce this late in the round. Had Pierce, Green, and Ariza at the top of my list, in that order.

Surprised you had Pierce rated over Green and Ariza

I still consider Pierce being a better player than Green and Ariza right now. I also would trust Pierce more at the end of games than those two.

Interesting. Reputation would certainly side with you on Pierce being more clutch, but I think Ariza's reputation as a "3&D" guy hurts him a little.

He's having an excellent season averaging 15 points, 6.4 rebounds, and nearly 2 steals a game while shooting 46/43/79.

I thought about Pierce but ultimately sided with Ariza.

Yep, can't go wrong with either guys. If you picked Pierce, I would have snagged Ariza.

Pretty good pick at that spot. I was tempted to take him back at 1.15. Surprised he lasted this long.

Yeah, Thad's a great fit. Miami and Indiana are likely going to be even better than their RL teams, which is scary.

The talent going into the 3rd round is still quite high.

Yeah, seeing Johnson going before both Ariza and Pierce was a surprise.  I think that Ariza is the best of the three, btw.
I'd have been surprised if it had happened the other way around.  Was hoping JJ's rep had taken enough of a hit this year that he'd slide to the next round.  so much for that.

Okay there's just no denying that one player left has more talent than any other. I have a strong core. If he gets healthy.....

Okay gonna drop the bomb.
very optimistic he's going to make it back nevermind back to what he once was.
The more the Lakers continue to tank, the less it looks like Kobe's gonna come back this year. They're trying to get a top 3 pick. And boy do they need it.
Pick 2 Knicks:
PG: Deron Williams/Kemba Walker
SG: Wesley Matthews/Nick Young
SF: Carmelo Anthony/Mike Dunleavy
PF: Tristan Thompson/Carlos Boozer
C: Tyson Chandler
8th pick in each round
