Castor and I were talking about how a couple of our picks in the sim draft were the same picks in the real draft so that made me wonder how close some of us were and how far off others of us were with our picks... #. Sim Team : Player Selected (+/-): Real Player Selected 1. Grizzlies: Eddie Griffin (-6): Brown 2. Hornets: Kwame Brown (+1): Chandler 3. Suns: Eddy Curry (-1): Gasol 4. Celtics: Rodney White (-5): Curry 5. Rockets: Shane Battier (-1): Richardson 6. Magic: Pau Gasol (+3): Battier 7. Nuggets: Joe Johnson (-3): Griffin 8. Jazz: Sagana Diop (0): Diop 9.

Suns: Tony Parker (+8): Damone Brown 37. Hawks: Jeryll Sasser (+15): Mehmet Okur 38. Magic: Raul Lopez (+14): Wright 39. Bulls: Jeff Trepagnier (+4): Earl Watson 4 picks were exactly right with the real draft 2 of the 4 belonged to yours truly 5 picks within 1 spot The biggest player to drop in the real draft was Woods dropping from 13 to 45 The biggest player to drop in our draft that was selected was Haston who was picked 34th in our draft but was actually 16th in the real draft Heath drafted both Woods and Haston The only 1st rounder in the real draft that was unselected in our draft was Brandon Armstrong out of Pepperdine Also this list might help form grades, if someone grades each GM, I'll follow with my own grades by copying their format, I really have no motivation to go searching for who each GM drafted where. ------------------ This post contains no smilies, you must judge my seriousness on your own...
Keep in mind that the team needs of the Sim league and the team needs of the NBA were different. I would have drafted Brown also, if I didnt have Garnett already. ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
