Yeah, I was worried that the Knicks pick would be computer, when he told me he would trade it to me for a player I signed with the min. Too bad the contracts wouldn't have worked out.

Anyway, I think Bee really fills out my roster. 3 out of my 4 2nd rounders have "A" potential, so if they don't work out, they can always be included in the 12 trades I'm bound to make this season. :)

So both of the Blazer's picks were CPUs.  :roll:

I am thrilled with these picks.
Hector Strom is a tall, thin center with B- defense and C+ rebounding, and A potential.  Plus, he is only 20 years old.  If he has a couple years of potential in him, he could be a nice defensive player.

Nickolas Kamens is a 6'3" point guard who already has B+ defense and A potential, and is only 20 years old.  If his handling goes up a bit in training camp, he will eventually be a nice back-up to Hinrich.

Wow, Conradt was another solid CPU pick, Blazers lucked out.  Also, Bee was a steal at this point.

Why so high on Bee?
If you look at his total value, it is pretty good.  But the fact that all his strength is in ball handling, kind of, well, sucks...  That is not exactly the category I want my SF to be strongest in...

The CPU has doen quite well in picks so far.. Impressive.

Dang, I really wanted one of Bee, Chamderlain, Strom or Wyss to fall.

Some pretty decent players are still left, like Eddie Crotty, Rob Benoit and Marco McCloud. I don't know who to pick.

Love Crotty... he was the next PG on my list after Kamens...  If he had even a B potential, he could have been a 1st rounder...

Handling is awesome - the last thing I want is for my SF to come in third string and turn it over a bunch.

Well, true...  But that is all he can do...  Don't get me wrong, I liked Bee...  but he just has an odd skillset...  If he could play the point, he would be incredible...

Well, I would experiment him at point, but with Cassell, Lovelette and Ellis, I don't need anymore PGs.

With an A potential Bee has the potential to be competent offensively and defensvely (he's not that far from competent now).

Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Hey, if anyone wants him, make an offer. My trade finger is itching. It's been 18 hours....

He has a C in and C out offensively...
C+ inside...
Now, from all the conversations that have gone on about potential (being a newbie I am still learning), the odds of him getting to B- and B- would be pretty small..
C+ defensively...  lucky to get to a B, max...
Now, a player who is B-, B-. B-, B, C- is not bad, in fact he is almost perfectly average in every way...  But what are the odds?

The odds are good enough to give him a 2 year contract worth 800K. :)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bee end up as a C+, B- offensively with B- handles and B defense.  That would be a net improvement of +5 over his years.

Borderline Starter/Great bench player.  Not sure what more you want out of this part of the draft.

Exactly. 2nd Rounders are so much better than late firsts.

Sounds suspicously like Mike Dunleavy... and I traded him away...   :wink:

Crotty it is.
