    Should be Mark Jackson.


    <b>Kings - Jim Jackson or Anthony Mason</b>

    Should <u>definitely</u> be Anthony Mason. It's not even close.


    <b>Bulls - Strickland or Miller</b>

    Which Miller?

    the Wizards make a valid point. sometimes taking the best player remaining is much better for the team than taking the say their only PG, or somethig like that.

    unfortunately in his case the best player is also the only real SG

    DBC - what is the problem?

    First you protect Brown over White and begs The Cat to take White and not Hamilton. Then you protect White over Brown and say The Cat should take Brown as he is a much better player than Hamilton.

    The obvious solution is to protect Hamilton and leave both White and Brown unprotected. Of course, then The Cat will take Morris. :p

    As for the other prelim draft selections - I think it is not only the ors that is open, and not only the players listed in the ors that can be taken from those teams.

    As a few examples of players that not has been mentioned:

    Jazz: Kukoc
    Pacers: Whitney
    Sonics: Williams (Jason)
    Cavs: Harpring
    Magic: Doleac

    and there could be more - but it will be up to The Cat to make the selections. Although not for his own team - but there Divac should be the clear first option to be taken (Russell is the next protection from The Cat after that, and then the next two are completly open)

    This isn't the real NBA... Jim Jackson averages approximately 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists as a starter. They're pretty close.

    Should definitely be Tim Thomas. No doubt about it

    Yeah, it probably will be now that I've thought about it more. Sabonis immediately popped into my head as his 5th guy with good stats, but I wasn't really thinking about age/potential at the time.

    Grizzlies - Keon Clark or Mark Jackson

    This one is really up in the air. Jackson's older, but still has very solid assists numbers. Keon Clark is young with potential, but how much?

    Which Miller?

    Brad Miller.

    Should probably be Delk.

    You think? Delk gets 12 points, 2 asst starting... Potapenko got close to 14 and 7, if I remember correctly.

    Magic - Reeves or Hassell

    Trenton Hassell, the rookie. He had around 9.5 pts, 2.5 reb in 19 minutes. Decent numbers actually.

    DBC,

    The way you have it set up now, I have to take Hamilton. However, if you want to keep him, there is a way. Protect him instead of Jahidi, and in all likelihood I would take PJ Brown instead of Jahidi White.

    Well, when Mason was on the Lakers, he was a 13 pt, 8-9 reb, 4 assist kind of guy, and that was playing behind Shaq & Kobe. I like those numbers much better than Jim Jackson's 17-5-3. Mason is a better passer, a much better rebounder and only a slightly weaker scorer. I would definitely go with Mason here.

    It depends on how good Keon is in the sim. Mark Jackson is a pretty darn solid point guard, though

    Brad Miller.</b> <i>(vs. Rod Strickland)</i>

    Eh.. I don't know about this one.

    What the heck is Potapenko doing with numbers like those?

    Are you kidding?

    Thomas can't even get off my bench.

    Hell, I don't want him.

    Take him!

    And I'll keep my 12, 8 Center!


    :D
    Seriously Though

    The difference between Timmy and Sabonis is about the same as Wright/Davis and Ceballos/Marshall.

    Mind your own business.

    I'd be very happy if he left my starting lineup intact...
