The call this part of the draft @dukedevilz season. How did we let him draft 3 guys in rounds 8, 9 and 10 that ended up top 11 in points last year? He's just that good!!
I got some bangers lined up for Round 9 and 10. They won't be as good as my picks from last year, but I've had these two guys earmarked since the beginning of the draft; I knew they were under the radar. Not waiting anymore. Worried you might take one of them, though.
You don't have time to waste 7 seconds reading 4 sentences. You need at least 15 more hours while you're on the clock to do proper research for your next pick.
not sure how this guy slipped this far. even went and read and re-read the picks to make sure he wasn't taken. Either I'm blind or y'all are morons sleeping at the wheel.
Dajuan Harris/Kansas (3x All Big 12, reigning B12 DPOY)
@lurkeraspect84 is now really on the clock.

@lurkeraspect84 is now really on the clock.
He’s never made All B12. His DPOY was 2 years ago. He regressed big time last year defensively and offensively. His win share were lower as a senior than his soph and junior years. But other than that….great pick!
All-Conference Defensive Team is equivalent of 3rd Team All-Conference, which is where I'd expect Harris. His Win Shares have been fairly modest lately, and with the talented transfers coming in, I wouldn't be surprised if that takes a little dip.
Lipsey should be the frontrunner for Conference DPOY.

Sorry guys, how many am I picking?

41 picks to go and 12 days until the start of the college basketball season. It might be time....
naw, @dukedevilz keep it the way it is. some of us need time to get picks in. 12 hours is stupid especially if someone makes a pick at night. Someone who doesn't religiously follow the board at night and will miss his window when he checks in the next morning.
24 hours is perfect. Also, if the draft bleeds into the season a few days is it really the end of the world? Does it really affect the last round or two of the draft?
Let's face it, this whole league is the draft. Once the draft is over there's nothing left to do except wait for the end of the season. Sure, we drop a couple players at some point but even with that you really don't have to do it and can just let DD do it for you. Since the draft is essentailly the entire league, I don't see the point in rushing through it. Let's take our time and enjoy the draft.
No chance. Tristen Newton and Jaedon Ledee weren't drafted last year. That's 2 All-Americans. It would be a HUGE advantage to whoever is on the clock when the opening games have been played. Dive into the box scores and you'll find someone that is clearly a good value pick... The point is to project the best players - not evaluate the current data.
You can always send me a top 5-7 list. That would cover you for multiple rounds. dukedevilz@yahoo.com
I'm not going to speed the clock yet, but it's possible I could do that next week.
I'd say take the top 2 names, Khaliff Battle and Deivon Smith. If he wants to replace them with Butler or Raynaud later on, that's fine, provided someone else hasn't already drafted them.
@WeAreDePaul can draft now. @lurkeraspect84 You good with Battle and Smith?
Great offensive talent. Excited to watch him play this season. It'll be interesting to see how the scoring distribution plays out between Lipsey, Gilbert, and Momcilovic. He could easily score 15 ppg if his usage goes north of 22% or so.
There is one of the 4 I was going to draft. I think he's pretty clearly Southland POY and he had 5.2 win shares last year so he's a low floor pick.
I'm going to go with my first dice roll of the year. It's earlier than I'd like but I don't want to miss out on this guy. I think people are sleeping on the Fighting Tommy Lloyd's. I know it's a step up in conference but Lloyd has never won less than 27 games and I expect Arizona to finish top 5 in the B12. And with that, I'm going to take a guy I think will be the most impactful transfer in the B12. I know it was just an exhibition but dude did just score 24 points the first time he suited up for the Wildcats.
Give me Trey Townsend - Arizona.
@IUfanBorden is on the clock
thought about him. It's werid, one of the those top 100 lists have him top 30 and then I don't think he makes top 100 on any other list.
Yeah, I saw him play at Oakland and the dude can play. There is always a question with transfers of how they do stepping up in class and how they integrate on their team but everything I've heard thus far has been glowing of Townsend.
I thought about picking him too. Agree it’s a bit of a risk, but I think he could be a solid pickup.

I wondered when someone would take him. Dude oozes potential. I just have no idea who is going to be Illinois' alpha this year. I feel like they have 7 different guys who could lead them in scoring. @Jaycg15, what the hell is going to happen with your Illini?
Noo!!!!! I was wanting him before the draft. Thought I could grab him in Round 9. Just two picks away. Dumb. I was being greedy.
That's how I felt about Townsend. I got worried when he played great in their exhibition so I took him a couple rounds before I was planning to.Noo!!!!! I was wanting him before the draft. Thought I could grab him in Round 9. Just two picks away. Dumb. I was being greedy.
I was surprised he was still available. Dude with crazy potential. Rhen again, I drafted him...dude probably be a 1/2/1 guyNoo!!!!! I was wanting him before the draft. Thought I could grab him in Round 9. Just two picks away. Dumb. I was being greedy.
I was high on him before and buzz has been growing in the past few weeks among the Illinois faithful. He's s a strong contender for 1st Team All-Conference. I was thinking he might fall a bit because no one had him in the top 100 of their player rankings.
look at you guys salivating over some bum from Illinois. Next your gonna convince yourself that Pritzker isn't fat.
