Sorry about the delay.

Indiana selects PG/SG: Anthony Black - Arkansas

Did not expect that one at all... not that I don't like Black... they have Benny and Tyrese... @Bawse Dawg my thought of why the board looked good for the Jazz is they would have their pick of the pgs (black, George, Wallace) but it turns out they won't.

I liked him better for the Pacers than any of the other guys left on the board. Especially with Freshmen, just take your top rated guy and be happy.
 
If this is how it fell I think NO would likely draft Keyonte George... however I think he's not very good... and since I am picking for them... I will destroy my own dreams of Hendo ending up with the Jazz and select Taylor Hendricks.

NO already has Zion, Herb, Ingram, Nance, Trey Murphy that all spend time at the 3 or 4... So Taylor jumps into a logjam a bit... but maybe he gets time as a small ball 5 and a few of those guys are constantly hurt. So I will take the best guy left imo....

And it prolly works... Tay Henny would have been my pick but he is not as big a name.

Damn you. Jazz were locked onto Hendricks.

Almost home I’ll do my picks then. Need to figure out the backup plan.
 
@Bawse Dawg you are up... and it turns out the board setup really ****** for you... but don't you dare do it... you know what "it" is.

I think NO would take George... if that gives all of us any comfort.

Not sure. NOLA needs a PF for the 55 or so games that Zion misses every season. They can play Nance, but he's more of a backup. They've been pushing guys up a spot and giving some minutes to Trey Murphy, I think.
 
If this were me, I'd trust in Keyonte's FT% and take him for the Jazz. Then I'd take GG, of course. I could see the Jazz packaging their picks and trying to trade up. If they end up with 9 and 12, that might get them to 7 or even 6. I could picture them being more in love with Whitmore or Walker than being more than luke warm about the player they'd get at #12 or #13.
