Following potential 2013 draftees

Not surprised by this, it's really only an issue when the level of talent is flat across the board and there is no consensus as to who goes where.

To me, at the end of the day it comes down to how you evaluate talent. If your big board is legit, it doesn't matter who goes where, you should be able to pick BPA and still come out laughing. Moreover you'll be able to assess whether buying a pick, or trading up is worth it.

=====================

At the end of the day, you can only follow these smokescreens so far, you need to have confidence in your big board and determine your strategy based off of that.

Good post. What I was getting at, though, is a tad more sinister .. like scouts sharing info with other scouts and those going back to their respective teams with info they're calling their own... when its really someone else's misdirection.

Yes. Teams have to take things with a grain of salt.. but they are basing their big board on a lot of feedback the may be poor quality.

Yes.. in that case you need to be able to trust your scouts.. if they're getting back wrong information that could be fatal to your draft strategy and ultimately affects your franchise as a whole.

==========================

Kinda reminds me why Lindsey/KOC/Millers are so fixed on keeping Ty around.. it seems they really trust him. They seems to hold "Loyalty and trustworthiness" up higher than coaching skills, leadership skills, smarts, etc.

I too value loyalty.. though I define the word a lot differently than most.

I'll say this; it matters little that someone is loyal if they are also incapable of knowing how to distinguish be lies and truths, savvy enough to know friend and foe... see what's coming from a mile away.

Agreed with this. And Walt Perrin seems plenty smart/savvy for this kind of job as well as loyal.

But we'll just have to wait and see...

Not the media.. but I'm hearing from a couple of friends/scouts that the amount of smokescreening this year has reached epic proportions.
According to them, there's an almost unspoken competition between teams to see who can make chicken salad out of this draft.

One told me the team he represents is waaaaay smokescreening (dumbing down) a player they want pretty badly.
He said even though it always goes on each year.. that this year it's like a sport in and of itself. I asked him which player and he wouldnt tell me. I won't share what team he represents.

I hope all the teams fall for it and Shabazz falls to the Jazz.
 
If we want a SF I really like James Southerland... Check out his stats and length versus the much hyped Snell and Bullock. He's a late 2nd in most mocks etc.
 
Also most mocks are reporting that Jazz has given a promise to Schroeder.

I don't think it's Jazz's style to do that kind of dodgy, backroom deal.

Doubt it.


Kings making a strong play at Bazz right now. They just got him back for a 2nd workout. They even brought back Snell to try and guard Bazz. I'm pretty sure they want the new GM to see their potential pick.

Pity Bazz couldn't go.
