Draft Order

1. cmgdodgers
2. Lathum
3. Radii
4. stevew
5. Sublime 2
6. kingfc22
7. Chief Rum
8. Dark Cloud

If you are unable to be around from 10am-6pm Eastern Time then sending in draft lists are highly recommended! For those who pick within a couple spots of me if you'd rather PM lists to someone else and have them pick for you that's fine, but I assure everyone that I am heavily biased when it comes to who I like and don't like and no one's list has ever come close to changing my own picks

wow, second pick. Don't recall ever picking this high.\


Very curious to see where Jimmer goes

I'm just hoping Shane Battier falls to me at #11, he still plays for Duke right?

pfft, Duke is all goofy white guys. The one you really want is Tyler Zeller.

I may take Barnes just to piss Radii off.

never heard of him

For the first selection I'll take:Kemba Walker - Connecticut Huskies

hmmmmmm, it is so tempting to take Jimmer but that second round game against the Johnnies scares the crap out of me

my faith in UNC is low after this weekend. I can't even take the homer pick I *really* want to this high.

1.3 Jared Sullinger - Ohio State

Okay-I guess I'll take
1.4 Jimmer Fredette-BYU Hopefully he doesn't offend the honor code.

heading to bed, i've PM'd Sublime. If you pick plz PM the next person up.

I should be around by 11am est to make sure the hours on the clock are smooth.

Pick will be up in a minute, having the worst time accessing FOFC from my phone.

1.5 Harrison Barnes - UNC

skipping kingfc22, he may pick at any time when he shows up. Chief Rum is on the clock.

Damn, nice timing. I checked the forum just before 8 expecting to need to pick and saw that kingfc hadn't gone yet. And then I don't check back for 50 minutes, and you sent me a PM shortly after I left. Fu....dge. :)

I'll have my pick up shortly.

More difficult than expected. A lot of good players on good teams, but you guys got the real obvious ones already.

1.6 -- F Marcus Morris, Kansas

Dark Cloud is up! PM sent.

1.7 Ashton Gibbs, Pittsburgh

1.8 William Buford, The Ohio State University

Looks like this is going to be the "slow" draft this year.

PM sent to Danny

FWIW, I sent him a PM as soon as I was picked.

Danny's West Coast like me, but for some reason, he never seems to check in early on weekdays, either because he's a late sleeper or he can't get on at his job or whatever. Hopefully he will be back soon.

Yeah, but the expectations when signing up are pretty clear.

snake pick person gets two hours then skipped, I will be away for alittlewhie but Wade is free to pick again to start round 2 at 2:50.

Yeah, I'm not excusing him; just offering up an explanation.

Wow sorry guys, picking now

Well, Danny took both of my choices.

Shouldn't have overthought the 1.10.

I screwed up the order, so Ben should have been 2.1, Zeller 2.2 and Johnson 2.3

2.4 Jordan Hamilton, Texas

2.5 Derrick Williams, Arizona

kingfc is up.

Of course, he still needs to make his first round pick, too.

its been an hour, skipping kingfc, he may make two picks any time now whenever he checks in. Its happened on occasion that someone has had something unexpected come up on Monday but gets caught up and gets the rest of their picks in, so hopefully that's the case here. If he hasn't checked in by the time we get to his 3rd round pick tomorrow we'll drop him. Sublime 2 is up.

I am ill prepared to pick. If picks 321 then picks 123 wanna pick I can do 2 picks around midnight.

I punched stevew's post into Google Translation, and I believe he wants to be skipped for now.

lol! resaerching my pick now. The clock is off, so we'll do exactly what steve so clearly suggested. Once we get back to him for round 3 we'll hang tight.

Lol. Autocorrect fail.

:sigh:

W&M had him until ND swooped in late in the process. Woulda, coulda, shoulda..

2.11-E'Twaun Moore- Purdue
3.1- Kalin Lucas- Mich. St.

will pick in a little bit, about to head home from work.

stevew is up for 2, we'll wait on him.

Making my picks now. Sorry, got slammed at work today.
