^gay vibeThis is the second time in 3 years that you and I were next to each other in the draft and we always seem to step on each others picks. Crazy how that has worked out.
Tramon Mark/Arkansas (you're all dummies for not picking him during the past 4 rounds)
Hunter Sallis/WF (ditto)
Since I'm a Homer, I've been following this thread to see rhe Arkansas picks.
Surprised to see Ellis and Mark not picked until the FA portion.
These two are gonna be stat getters.
Someone should get the old Jayhawk Tristan Enaruna going to have a monster year for Cleveland state

Sorry---Had a game.Good upside, at least. Round 12 is great round to take an unknown with upside.
I'll take Bruce Thornton, Ohio State
@IUfanBorden has the last pick of the draft.
Same. I can't do worse than last year.I hate my team
I did pretty well last year. I just don’t think I can match that this year.Same. I can't do worse than last year.
i guess my final score could be worse.
I love your team , but only because I take an unhealthy amount of pleasure from your failures.I hate my team
My top 10 guys that were not drafted:
1) Dylan Disu - Texas - Came on strong late and was B12 tourney MVP. I almost pulled the trigger a couple of times but the rest of his team is formidable too and I'm not sure how much he'll be a focal point of the offense
2) J'Wan Roberts - Houston - Dude averaged 10 and 8 and collected 6.1 win shares for a Houston team that needs to fill a void from losing their top 3 scorers
3) Julian Reese - Maryland - I wanted to draft this guy. He's flashed All Big Ten potential but hasn't had the consistency. If he get there this year, we'll all regret it
4) Tristen Newton - UConn - Averaged 10, 5 and 5 and had 4.9 win shares last year. He will outperform a lot of the guys we drafted
5) Berke Buyuktuncel - UCLA - If he was cleared by the NCAA, I would likely have drafted him. He's got star potential on a roster without a clear alpha IMO
6) Steven Ashworth - Creighton - I'm fascinated to see how he blends with Creighton's other great players. He could put up really good numbers
7) Coleman Hawkins - Illinois - Maybe 2nd team All Big Ten. I just couldn't draft him because I can't stand him and he doesn't put up big counting stats
8) Tyler Burton - Nova - Averaged 19 and 7 for Richmond last year. Just not sure how much of an alpha he'll be on a team that returns Justin Moore, Eric Dixon and Mark Armstrong
9) Tyler Wahl - Wisconsin - Some will say that Wisky will go as Hepburn and Crowl go but Wahl is the key. When he was hurt last year, they struggled. If he is healthy, he's got 2nd team All Big Ten upside
T10) Khalif Battle and Devo Davis - Arkansas - @dukedevilz alluded to this earlier when talking about Arkansas. It's just hard to tell who's going to emerge between these guys, Brazile and Tramon Mark. If Battle or Davis do, they'll be a great pick. If not, we were wise not to draft them.
I added my 12th guy so I can do the same.Pretty similar to mine, actually. Here's my 12-man JV roster:
Tyler Burton, Villanova
Tristen Newton, UConn
J'Wan Roberts, Houston
Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State
Olivier Nkamhoua, Michigan
Coleman Hawkins, Illinois
AJ Storr, Wisconsin
Berke Buyuktuncel, UCLA
Devo Davis, Arkansas
Rayshon Harrison, Grand Canyon
Tristan Enaruna, Cleveland State
Demarcus Sharp, Northwestern State
Also, curious to see how Alex Karaban does. His shooting splits last season were top-notch. Just needs a higher usage rate. Feel like AJ Storr has a higher ceiling than anyone else on Wisconsin. That should be a top 25 team.
Last year, my JV team took down 3 teams (Jimbo, lurker, GE Nole). Takes a little bit of luck to pull that off (i.e. taking Keyonate Johnson). My goal, like last year, is to beat one team.
I really wanted Roach in the late rounds. If Duke goes far, I think he can have a Quinn Cook type senior season. Lots of upside in that pick.
You ripped me last year for drafting Roach and he ended up being pretty good.Judah Mintz, Jesse Edwards, JJ Starling, and Kadary Richmond. lol that's crazy.
I'm not sure what to make of Roach. He averaged 16 ppg during Duke's last 10 games last year; he was way more productive than Proctor, who averaged around 11 ppg during the same stretch. But at the same time, Proctor's usage is sure to go up. And McCain and Foster are going to want a fair amount of touches, too... And then there's always a chance that Roach makes the All-Tournament team or All-Region team.
Considering he was taken in Round 10 that's not bad value at all.

Thankfully, no team can embarrass itself as badly as @WeAreDePaul embarrassed himself with this exchange. We all have a little breathing room now.You know I have receipts, right? I was correct in saying it was a bad value. The issue was taking Roach in Round 5.
4.2 total points would have been the least valuable player on my roster. Roach in round 10 or so is fine. Last year, I felt like his ceiling was 3rd Team All-Conference. That's really poor value for Round 5.
Apology accepted.You know I have receipts, right? I was correct in saying it was a bad value. The issue was taking Roach in Round 5.

I think Dukedevils has the best roster, followed by boilerzz, followed by me
I think I have a lower ceiling than most but maybe a higher floor than some.
I don’t really know what to think about my team. I’ll let you know later after I see how they start the year.
I feel I have a lot of all conference guys
Me likes my roster, a lot...
I got lazy with the XJ and Ware picks. But I really like Mgbako.You have some nice pieces. But, you probably should have drafted 2-3 more Indiana guys.
Keion Brooks in 11th round is a absolute steal , definite all conference 1rst teamMe likes my roster, a lot...
Was absolutely shocked he was available..Keion Brooks in 11th round is a absolute steal , definite all conference 1rst team
Nelson for you is a great get at 10....Keion Brooks in 11th round is a absolute steal , definite all conference 1rst team
