I hope no one minds, (maybe it will give some advice...) but here are a few that I am shocked have not gone yet: (I'm not saying a couple, because I want to make sure I get one more good pick

)

Brevin Knight
Steve Francis
Devin Harris
Mike Conley Jr.
Morris Peterson
Mikael Pietrus
Boris Diaw
Hakim Warrick
Chris Wilcox
Channing Frye
Al Horford

I'm tempted to delete this post for selfish reasons...But you didn't put too a couple that I'm targeting on there...so I'll let it go.

The only one's that I was hoping you wouldn't say are the rookies, because I was hoping to steal one with my 8th round pick...but we'll see where that goes.

There are a lot of other rookies that I also could've put on that list (Brewer, Yi, Thornton, Law, Green, Belinelli, etc.). It's like everyone's assuming Oden & Durant will be the only good rookie fantasy producers this year. But this is supposed to be one of the deepest draft classes in history... If I needed what they would give me (I don't), I would've picked Horford or Conley with either of my last 2 picks.

i have been contemplating a few people on this list for a few picks... and i definently have my eye on some for my next one...

Oh!Gravity · 09-03-2007, 09:53 AM

I'll go with Steve Francis.

Mavsfan41 · 09-03-2007, 10:15 AM

with my final pick of this draft, i will select:

Boris Diaw.

i am really hoping some of numbers go up, namely FT%... but i think this is a good pickup, one i have been contemplating for a few picks now...

**Matt4JC** · 09-03-2007, 10:16 AM

Excellent.

Jamal Crawford.

wjarmusch · 09-03-2007, 10:57 AM

I'm beginning to think I might actually get who I want in this round, AND in the 8th. Benny, just don't take my guy...please? Sweet, I just realized I have 14 people left that I would actually draft, and only 13 picks before my last pick.

Benny Hicks · 09-03-2007, 11:03 AM

I'll gladly take Morris Peterson. I have three guys on my list that Matt left off that I really think have some potential.

wjarmusch · 09-03-2007, 11:06 AM

Speaking of potential I'll take Tyrus Thomas. He's slated to start this year and has been a top target since day 1 of this draft. I almost took him last round.

Good pick, but not good info. Joe Smith is actually slated to start, believe it or not. With adding Noah in the mix as well, that scared me away from Thomas, for now.

Ooh, I must have missed Joe Smith. But I think Thomas will win playing time over Noah. He started playing quite well in the playoffs last year. I think he'll still put up #'s off the bench. Plus the fact that he'll be at the bottom of my bench.

Like I said, good pick. But yes, it will most likely be production off the bench, not the starting five. If he produces well enough, then maybe he can take over the starter's job. I just try to avoid big logjams of people whenever possible. Thomas is a low-risk, high-reward pick. If he doesn't do well, there will be plenty of good people available on the waiver wire.
