Nice for the Blazers to end up with Bias and Rodman. (yeah, i know that Walker has a lot more pot than Bias, we all can see that from your bank account, but i never liked SkyWalker, and not just because he was a Knick) Not sure Dennis can play PF in SSBA, and i'm almost certain he will never average more than 11-12rpg in this league (some stuff simply doesn't translate to FBB), but I like him nonetheless. As for Bias, that name alone has some magical spirit to him and after seeing him average 31ppg at age 36 in my Legend League team ... I just ove this guy !!!

Welcome about, Mr. Walker. Good luck, Len - boy was it hard passing on you being a huge - HUGE - Celtics fan in the 80's and always wondering what could have been.
Bias v. Walker was the debate for me, and yes, Tom, Walker's real pot was a determining factor.
Strictly looking at ratings, Bias has the offensive advantage and should turn out to be a very nice scorer (I might regret passing on this later); but Walker has a chance to be a lockdown defender, and is more ready right now to be a significant contributor for the Nets on both ends of the court. With Schmalz in the twilight, Tobey and Milner in their primes and FJ just entering his, the time to strike remains now, and I think Walker fits perfectly into the here and now, as well as the future, of this team.
Nice score by the Blazers. Salley's selection is a bit surprising - but I suspect there is a reason. Washington looks solid too.
Leaves some very nice players on the board.

Sky Walker a lockdown defender. Amazing to read that sentence anywhere. I remember the only skill he ever had was to jump and dunk (and for that jumping skills he was a horrible shot blocker on top).
As long as he started for the Knicks in his first 2 campaigns they won 24 and 36 games, respectively.
I don't like that guy, did I mention that?

Tom, I'd like to introduce you to FBB. FBB, Tom. Just kidding, I know what you mean - now that I think of it, I couldn't really stand the guy either. But who knows, maybe he is an incredible leaper, and he will win himself a bunch of dunk comps to get himself enshrined in the hall on points!

I've been trying to trade up like crazy, I must not be able to send pm's because none of them have been responded to, but I will be happy with any of the guys on my list at 18. I am going to get a system player regardless of who I'm able to get with that pick. A lot of guys out there, but at pick 18 I won't look at too many potentials, I'll save that for #23 when I have an idea of who will be sitting there for me.

I like the Kenny Walker pick there. I was chosing between Walker, Harper and Bias. But I ended up with Harper since he's the only guy I can afford using my money to scout his true potential.

I think he meant he only had enough money to scout 1 person, and Walker was the one he chose to scout.

Harper, I guess. If he scouted Walker and still picked Harper that wouldn't exactly make Sky look like a stud ...

I would put my money on scouting Bias rather then Harper. Harper will probably be a guy with B or B- handles and A+ defense, im pretty sure about that.

Big shock from Todd imo....but I guess when I was doing my own Walker vs. Bias debate it was more over trade value, not value to team. Still, I think Bias was a top 5 pick and it's hard to not go BPA in a draft like this

Haha..sorry for the wrong grammar there. I can only scout one guy with my GM points, and I took the chance on Harper. And it DID pay off.
