[Logan]

Damn! When I finally signed up in the other thread, I was about to also write how I've watched very little college ball this year and had no idea how my bracket would shake out, and would need to do heavy research to prepare.

Give me a few mins.

[Logan]

1.1 Andrew Wiggins - Kansas

[stevew]

2. Nick Johnson Arizona

[hoopsguy]

Hey, sorry for holding up the group. Will work on a list later this morning.

1.3 Russ Smith, Louisville

[britrock88]

I'll PM Marmel. Karl will get the same treatment as I gave his fellow West Coaster CR in the other draft--whenever he shows up and picks, he'll be in that slot for the whole draft.

[Marmel]

S. Wilbekin, Florida

[Young Drachma]

Melvin Ejim, Iowa State

[britrock88]

for ntndeacon:

Jabari Parker, Duke

Zinto's up with Karl still yet to check in.

[britrock88]

Zinto, if you beat Karl to the thread, don't go around the horn. I'll give Karl a couple hours to pick at 1.8 and 2.1 once you pick at 1.7.

[Zinto]

1.7 Doug McDermott Creighton

[britrock88]

1.7 Doug McDermott Creighton

That's a steal! PMing Karl again.

[Logan]

I almost took him first.

I don't ever remember a year where Karl didn't backfill his roster.

[Zinto]

I am excited he fell all the way to me

[ntndeacon]

which means ZInto is now up

[ntndeacon]

oops I didnt see Karl was in the thread!. pik away :)

[ntndeacon]

Zinto McDermott was the other name on my list. I was shocked that both made it that far down too!

[Zinto]

Zinto McDermott was the other name on my list. I was shocked that both made it that far down too!


Yeah both were great at the end of the first round.

[britrock88]

from Zinto:

2.2 Gary Harris, Michigan State

[Karlifornia]

Damn! I always forget about the quick turnaround. I'll take Nick Stauskas, Michigan. And Casey Prather, Florida

[Zinto]

Damn! I always forget about the quick turnaround. I'll take Nick Stauskas, Michigan. And Casey Prather, Florida


The other two players on my list:)

[ntndeacon]

2.3 DeAndre Kane, Iowa St.

[Young Drachma]

Tyler Haws, BYU

[Marmel]

A. Gordon, Arizona

[hoopsguy]

Frank Kaminsky - Wisky

[stevew]

Treveon Graham-VCU I believe in the coaching

[britrock88]

Logan's up on the turn and due @ 10am. In reality, I have meetings in the 9-11 CST period, so you guys might have to police yourselves a bit.

[Logan]

2.8 Rodney Hood - Duke
3.1 Montrezl Harrell - Louisville

PMing steve

[stevew]

Langston Galloway-St Joes. (10+)

[stevew]

We are getting our asses kicked by Game A

[hoopsguy]

Grr, was hoping one of the guys Logan picked would fall.

Michael Frazier II - Gators

[Marmel]

M. Brogdon, Virginia

[Young Drachma]

Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State

[ntndeacon]

Markel Brown Ok. State

[Zinto]

3.7 C.J. Fair Syracuse

[Karlifornia]

Xavier Thames, San Diego State
Jordan Adams, UCLA

[Zinto]

4.2 Cleanthony Early Wichita State

[britrock88]

4.2 Cleanthony Early Wichita State

Considering I grabbed him at 2.6, I'm thinking/hoping this is a bargain. :)

[Zinto]

Considering I grabbed him at 2.6, I'm thinking/hoping this is a bargain. :)


I am hoping so too. I have liked the value of all of my picks so far.

[Logan]

I almost took Early at 3.1

[Young Drachma]

Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati

[Marmel]

R. Baker, Wichita State

[britrock88]

A couple list picks:

4.6 - hoopsguy - Adreian Payne, Michigan State
4.7 - stevew - Julius Randle, Kentucky

[britrock88]

PMing Logan for his turn picks, and hoping ntndeacon catches up to backfill.

[ntndeacon]

4.3 LaQuinton Ross, Ohio St

[britrock88]

Sweet!

[Logan]

I was going to take Payne here...picking shortly.

[Logan]

4.8 Georges Niang - Iowa State
5.1 Perry Ellis - Kansas

[stevew]

James Bell Villanova

[britrock88]

Dipping back into the list for hoops:

5.3 Tyler Ennis, Syracuse

[Marmel]

K. Tarczewski, Arizona

[Young Drachma]

Dwayne Evans, Saint Louis

[ntndeacon]

5.6 TJ Warren NC St. (10+ seed)

[Zinto]

5.7 Marcus Paige North Carolina

[Karlifornia]

Cameron Bairstow, New Mexico
Bryce Cotton, Providence (10+)

[stevew]

basically NTN, YD, and me can all pick anyone(I'm assuming it won't be a 10+) and then the other remaining people all need to pick a 10+ So theoretically NTN can pick now and YD can pick immediately after I can pick after him, right?

[Zinto]

6.2 Jahii Carson Arizona State

[britrock88]

You can jump ahead of Marmel and hoopsguy to draft a guy from a single-digit seed. Any other jumping would be contingent on NTN and YD not taking double-digit guys, though they have the right (not an obligation).

[Logan]

I think I miscounted the 10+ players that still needed to be picked. I sent a list of 4, see two picked, and two more coming before me...

[ntndeacon]

6.3 Darrun Hilliard II, Villanova

[Young Drachma]

Keith Appling, Michigan State

[britrock88]

Yeah, I'm keeping tabs on your list, too. I can let you know if you need to choose another guy.

[Marmel]

J. Sibert, Dayton (10+)

[stevew]

JayVaughhn Pinkston Villanova.

[britrock88]

from Logan's list:

6.8 Terran Petteway, Nebraska

Still waiting on hoops' 10+ pick.

[hoopsguy]

Sorry for being AWOL today; change of firewall policies at a client.

Britrock, rude to take my Nebraska pick earlier tonight :(

10+ Taylor Braun, North Dakota State

[britrock88]

Sorry 'bout it. Figured that might be a call to action.
