FWIW, when healthy Baron is easily the best of the bunch. So underrated IMO. His efficiency stats suffer because of how much of a bulk shooter he is. Also Andre Miller is dirty. Such an elite passer and very good penetrator. Never misses a game either. Cassell is awesome, but the first 4 years he'll be in this thing he was less than great.

+1

same as Kevin Martin isn't a superstar, but a pretty good value pick (especially for that team).

HTF does Josh Smith kill fast breaks? Hes great at finishing in the open court.

I like the Smith pick a lot for his team. I hate the inefficiency he brings, but overall he fits well and I obviously love the blocks.

Thats the main argument against Cassell - and a huge one at that!

Yes I agree Baron is the most talented out of the bunch...and Andre is consistently good (not an elite passer imo...though the numbers may say otherwise)...I dont know how Calderon got picked sooo high (and Im a huge Calderon fan...from T.O.)

If Brandon had his age 25 season this year, where would you rank him in pgs? 5th? 6th? That's hardly spectacular.

Agree. Brandon isn't a bad pick, but I don't think hes tremendous value either. Plus I don't like short players because I'd like to have as few weaknesses on D as possible. He was only really efficient that one year too. And he is a shoot first PG.

1. Shoot first PGs
2. Not efficient
3. Short players

3 things I don't like. With that said, I'm fully aware that those 3 things make me biased agianst him and hes probably better than I'm giving him credit for.

Thanks, I agree its not a spectacular pick. There was some BPA guys I was looking at and wanted to pull the trigger on but I just didn't think it would mesh as well and I didn't want to leave a gaping hole in the middle.

I think all 4 of my picks will work really well together, but I think a lot of people will overlook my last two picks because they aren't very sexy. So we'll see.

And as for Calderon, I <3 the guy (who doesn't?) but yeah too early.

I like Epipen's team but he's traded up and his later round picks will be weaker so his team should be good.

You realize its Andre Miller on his team, right?

O-so many Millers (3 so far), thought it was Brad. I gues sit's pretty good now but defensively still really blah although I'm a bigger Andre Miller fan on this team than Brad Miller b/c of how soft Gasol is.
