doesn't teen wolf have MS? but... if you want a teen who has a teen wolf like vertical, sign jalen lecque. am surprised no one took him. straight from HS 6-4 PG who won the NBA combine max vertical (43"). fashions himself as a baby westbrook.

when i look over the results, i am impressed with the value philly got with their picks - their first three starting with bitadze at 24 (gafford 33 and jerome 34) looks really solid as future pros. the spurs also (bol at 19, windler 29 and roby 49) hit it. the cavs also had a strong draft - especially if bazley pans out at 42. biggest awards for turning shit into hope goes to the kings (okeke 40, dort 47 and wilkes 60) and the clippers getting schofield at 48 and konate at 56.

as for GSW, just why?

Cavs selected at 44...not 42. I chose Bazley for the Sixers at 42. The draft order was incorrect.

Warriors definitely had the worst draft in this. Fall was a terrible pick for them.

Cavs and Hawks did really well.

Cant have incorrect data!!

I think for the Sixers Bazley is a great pick because it is low risk-high reward potential.

For the Cavs, I really like Paschall because I think he steps in and starts 50 games for him when Kevin Love inevitably gets hurt.

I disagree. With their great 3 point shooters, Golden State is the perfect landing spot for taco. :coolio:

To do what, make sure the bench doesn't go anywhere?

tacko might have a place in the league as a bit player, sort of a curiousity - but there were plenty better full time player options at 28. that said, his combine measurements were crazy. think about it - flat footed standing reach under the basket, his fingers go 2.5" over the rim. bruno fernando, 6-10 with a 7-3 wingspan, is a full foot shorter than that - meaning that to grab the same rebound, bruno has to jump over a foot higher than tacko. tacko's standing max vertical was 22 inches. so unimpeded, if a rebound bounces high off the rim and tacko's underneath the hoop, he gets a good jump and he's a full two feet over the rim to get the ball. i can see how that could really come in handy when a team needs an offensive rebound, or really needs to secure the ball off a potential missed FT - that sort of thing. but as for generally getting up and down the court in a speed league, nope - he won't be able to do it for more than a couple trips.

The new KJ era for the Wolves is going to be exciting. That's a great pick right there.
