7th Annual College Basketball Draft

[IUfanBorden]

If Kalkbrenner and Kolek don’t make until, say, the late second round I think everybody choosing after me needs to take a long look at who they are as people.

Almost took Kalkbremmer.

Okay, @BasketBallJunkie-UK the 24-hour clock officially began about 30 minutes ago. You've got the 4th pick.

1st Round
1. Zach Edey, Purdue
2. Kyle Filipowski, Duke
3. Hunter Dickinson, Kansas

 

[dukedevilz]

Tolu Smith, who I believe was a legit All-American candidate, suffered a foot injury a couple of days ago. The report I read said he should be back for SEC play; he's listed as out indefinitely. Who know when he might come back? Might be worth a late round pick, but definitely risky to take him in an early round.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

WeAreDePaul selects Boo Buie from The Northwestern University.

Armando Bacot

 

[dukedevilz]

@GE Nole or @BasketBallJunkie-UK is up.

 

[boilerzz]

Come on @GE Nole, I want to jump Junkie too!!

 

[GE Nole]

Tyler Kolek

 

[GE Nole]

@boilerzz jump him.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Armando Bacot

had him last year, he sucks.

 

[dukedevilz]

had him last year, he sucks.

2 years ago, right? Because he was 3rd Team All-American last year.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

2 years ago, right? Because he was 3rd Team All-American last year.

don't remember. When you finish middle of the pack every year it's hard to distinguish one year from the next.

 

[boilerzz]

Ryan Kalkbrenner is my pick. @FaithPlusOne can be the next to jump @BasketBallJunkie-UK.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

I’ll go Max Abmas, Texas.

@lurkeraspect84 you can skip @BasketBallJunkie-UK if you’re quick. You have 24 hours either way.

 

[Necessary Roughness]

I’ll go Max Abmas, Texas.

@lurkeraspect84 you can skip @BasketBallJunkie-UK if you’re quick. You have 24 hours either way.

You took my pick!

 

[dukedevilz]

Not to worry, your team's fate is bound to change this year with Boo Buie leading the way.

Ryan Kalkbrenner is my pick. @FaithPlusOne can be the next to jump @BasketBallJunkie-UK.

Seriously? No Trey Kaufman-Renn?

I'm not sold on Max Abmas. Undersized guard who puts up gaudy stats in a conference full of notoriously anemic defenses. I'm sold on him being a good shooter, yes. But, not sold on his playmaking ability against elite athletes and rugged defenses. I personally would not have taken him in Round 1 or 2.

[dukedevilz]

Haha no worries, man. I miss on my evaluations too, just like everyone else. And I'm more likely to miss on someone like Abmas because the sample size I've seen with him is so low; his games don't come on tv a whole lot.

 

[dukedevilz]

Starting to wonder when we'll see @BasketBallJunkie-UK. He hasn't posted on the forum since last Thursday. Maybe we go through a few rounds before we hear from him?

I think I'll just leave #4 open like this on the draft board. It helps when I put the draft rosters together to keep the order the same.

1st Round
1. Zach Edey, Purdue
2. Kyle Filipowski, Duke
3. Hunter Dickinson, Kansas
4.
5. Armando Bacot, North Carolina
6. Tyler Kolek, Marquette
7. Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton
8. Max Abmas, Texas

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Donovan Clingan - UConn


@Necessary Roughness

 

[Necessary Roughness]

I'll take a chance on Isaiah Collier.

@ThePhog08 you are up.

 

[boilerzz]

Seriously? No Trey Kaufman-Renn?

New intel.

 

[ThePhog08]

Wade Taylor 1V

 

[boilerzz]

Either @WeAreDePaul or @BasketBallJunkie-UK are on the clock.

 

[ThePhog08]

This is a snake draft?

 

[boilerzz]

This is a snake draft?

Yep. So WeAreDepaul has the next two picks if Junkie doesn't show up.

 

[boilerzz]

@WeAreDePaul has an hour before he is eligible to be skipped too.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Buie and Ballo

 

[Necessary Roughness]

This is a snake draft?

You are up.

@dukedevilz is this the correct format? I didnt see it mentioned in the OP, but I'm new to this.

You're right, I failed to mention it in the OP. I forget that there are new faces. It is a snake format. So, you'll have the next pick after @ThePhog08.

[WeAreDePaul]

sorry if my picks are crap, just not feeling this this year. Between work being super busy, the stress of my dad dying last month and now what is happening to my people in Israel I'm just having a hard time caring enough to put maximum effort into this right now.

All good brother. Focus on what's important and participate in the fun back and forth when you can.
