 Yeah I'm an idot, so what?

FINALLY I am just now getting around to joining this blog (thank you hurricane Wilma). This be the 1st chance for me to look at my team, I must say this: meh. Me team is very "meh." take a look:

PG B. Davis (GS - PG)
SG J. Richardson (GS - SG)
G B. Gordon (Chi - PG,SG)
SF C. Anthony (Den - SF)
PF S. Abdur-Rahim (Sac - SF,PF)
F M. Sweetney (Chi - PF)
C P. Brown (NOK - PF,C)
C Y. Ming (Hou - C)
Util R. Felton (Cha - PG,SG)
Util D. Mason (NOK - SG,SF)
BN B. Wells (Sac - SG)
BN B. Sura (Hou - PG,SG)

The thing with pre-ranking, is that it's always a terrible idea. Looking at it now, I would have drafted a much different team if I were there. In fact, let's take a look at the team I would have drafted.

14th pick(original pick: Baron Davis)- A very tough pick. With Arenas (the guy I was eyeing) off the board, I think I'll stick with this pick. Sure he's injury prone, but no nuts no glory, right? He was great down the stretch, and here's hoping he can keep that up for a full season.

15th pick(original pick: Yao Ming)- This isn't a bad pick, but I like Ron Artest here. If I'm already gambling the season on B.Diddy, why not take the craziest person in the league? Not that upset with this pick.

42nd pick(original pick: Jason Richardson)- Don't like this pick. J-Rich's numbers actually went down last year with the arrival of Davis. Wait... why am I telling this to people in my league when I want to trade him? Anyhoooo... I think if I'm there, I'm taking Iggy with this pick. Yeah, I'm a homer, so what?

43rd pick(original pick: Carmelo Anthony)- Am fine with this pick. As long as Karl is still in a contract with the devil, the Nuggets will be good. He was real hot down the stretch, and hopefully, with Vashon back, he'll stop taking three's altogther... but probably not.

70th & 71st picks(original picks: Shareef Abdur-Rahim & Ben Gordon)- If SAR's elbow is fine, this is a good pick. But the man hasn't been healthy since '02. Not a big Gordon fan, would like to see him boost rebounding or assists. Guys still on the board who I like more are Troy Murphy, Bobby Simmons, Luke Ridnour.

98th & 99th picks(original picks: P.J Brown & Raymond Felton)- Love P.J Brown. Definately would have picked him there. Not sold on Felton, because they do have Knight & Hart who put up good numbers last year. I know Felton is much more talented, but he may not get a whole lot of minutes early on. Chris Kamen & hane Battier are 2 guys still on the board here who I like.

126th & 127th picks (original picks: Bonzi Wells & Michael Sweetney)- I drafted Bonzi effing Wells? Just kill me now. Who wants to bet Francisco Garcia is starting ahead of him by christmas? As for Sweetney, he can't create his own shot, but he does get boards. Per 40 minutes last year heaveraged 17/11 & almost a block. I know I'm grabbing at straws here, but it helps. Guys I like still on the board: Raja Bell,Zaza Pachulia, Antonio Daniels, Shaun Livingston,

154th & 155th picks(original picks: Bob Sura & Desmond Mason)- The Mason pick looks greatnow after the trade, but I'm not happy with the Sura pick. Alston will run the point, but hopefully Wesley's knees are hurt to the point where he can't stand around and launch three's.I think Luther Head is good enough to earn minutes at the two at some point this season. I may have taken Villanueva here instead.


Not a terrible draft I guess, but I wishI could have been there to mock Holeydonut's every pick. Oh well, there's always time to mock his waiver wire moves.

Hey dude, glad to hear the Hurricane didn't turn your creek into a river and flood your house.

So yeah, I drafted your crazy dude - and I got my JR Smith to boot. Best draft ever (aside from my #1 pick).

Haha, I wonder if you misspelled your blog post title on purpose ;)
