Can we get a draft file please?

[jayborne]

I need it so I can decide on a trade, lol. Plus I only know of 3 people in the draft.

Doubt you'll get it before the deadline, Jay.

I literally just sent Maniac all of my research. I was very, very detailed in said research, but Maniac is a busy man, so please allow him to enter all of the info at his own pace. In the meantime, I've begun work on the 2009 file. Some top names include, Nicolas Batum, Spencer Hawes, Hasheem Thabeet, Josh McRoberts and Rodney Stuckey.

[jayborne]

McRoberts a top name in '09? I'll be interested in hearing that. I personally think he'll never get better than what he was Freshman year.

Quick question Jiggy, any bit of small info we can get on the big men in the draft?

Maniac has final say, but here are some of the suggested ratings I sent him.

Michael Beasley 19 6'9" 230 PF: B C+ C- C B- A
Ante Tomic 21 7'2" 247 C: B- C- C+ B- C+ B

These are the only two sure-fire lotto picks. And then there are a few guys who could go late-lotto and throughout the later first round.

Alexis Ajinca 20 7'0" 205 PF: C+ C+ C C C A
Artem Zabelin 20 7'1" 205 PF: C- C+ B- B- C- A
Stanley Robinson 19 6'8" 220 PF: B B- D C- C+ B
Darrell Arthur 20 6'9" 230 PF: C+ C D+ B- C A
Vitor Tasch 20 7'0" 240 C: C+ C- D+ C+ B- B
Tim Ohlbrecht 19 6'11" 235 PF: C+ B- C- C C A
It's hard to say how these fuckers will turn out because I'm leaving actual potentials up to Maniac, but this second tier of big men aren't nearly in the same class as the big two. Some are tweeners; some are total projects with no guarantees and some have talent, but large, gaping holes in their game.

What do you guys think?

Interesting to see some new names and to see Robinson listed as a PF lol. At first glance the ratings look fine, but we'll have to see after a couple of seasons what actually happens.

Good job Jig.

Well, NBADraftnet has him listed as a SF/PF, but some of the scouting reports I've read mention that he looks like a total retard trying to guard even mediocre small forwards. So, I figured that maybe he'd have a little more luck against slower competition.

[Tigertecz]

Meh, fair enough, I've just only ever seen him in the NBN lol so you get used to it... although I do remember playing him at the 4... Hmm, whatever... nice job with the ratings. Previewing the guards might be nice too *HINT*HINT*

Very subtle. Here's a preview of this year's shooting guards.

Stacked.

That is all.

[Tigertecz]

Man, don't stack this year's with SG's, I already have Wade

[nybombers3]

lol

Nice shit though Jiggy.

[dan]

Beasley always seems to get created as a SF/PF type of player, but from what I've seen of him, he plays like a big man. Dude is huge and a strong shot blocker, but not a bigtime shooter.

[Tigertecz]

Can you give us a preview of Mayo's ratings?

[ducky]

man Rose would be great addition to my team
Rose
Roy
Durant
Aldridge
Biedrins

that makes me piss my pants
