1st ROUND 2019 Draft Reactions / Ratings

Post by Clinton »

TEXT ME IF YOU WANNA BE PART OF THIS

1 Washington Bullets: Zion Williamson
Analysis: Wes choosing to fuck some people in the league by starting HOURS before the scheduled start of the draft chose Mister Fat Kid Love Cake himself Zionist Williamson. The DMV is known to have a rather strong jewish community, lets see if this one works out better than the last two first overall picks who donned a Bullets jersey.
Grade: O for Oreos, or is it OnlyFans?

LeMerv Analysis: Felt like a no brainer number 1. Kinda had to do this because of how fun Zion could be. This team looks like it has less of a plan than a corner back facing the New Mexico Lobos in a 4 Verts. Wes probably just mishmashes this together and has his prospects fight to the death to become a real Bullet.
Grade: A

2 Boston Celtics: Ja Morant
Analysis: As is tradition the Celtics attach themselves to a player guaranteed to be fined by the league. After ridding themselves of the Beasley era, where mans was too stoned to deal with/ the media on multiple occasions and racked up a litany of fines. The Celtics choose to go with an extremely athletic scorer who totes guns…excuse me i have been told they were fake guns. They should probably be real. When Poopy Pants Pierce was a Cavalier playing in Boston he was reportedly stabbed and robbed after a game. Keep your head on a swivel Ja, Joe might just turn you into John Wall for his own amusement.
Grade: P for Play Simons more

LeMerv Analysis: This is the right pick. Joe loves the PG, scoring wings, blocky bigs meta but Ja seems a bit risky as a guy built in the John Wall mold. He should hit like Derrick Rose but ya never know.
Grade: A

3 Seattle Supersonics: Darius Garland
Analysis: Does it make sense? No. Is there value in this? 💯. Do i like it? NAH WE FUCKIN LOVE IT. I txt Nick simply calling him absurd, response: “it is known”. Well fuck me cause i wanted to see Garland next to Young but now i get Garland next to Brunson(the recently anointed king of Seattle, sorry Crawdaddy). Nick put Kyrie next to Manu and it changed his whole perspective on guards. It didnt work there but maybe it will here.
Grade: D+, 4th good PG enters Seattles building.

LeMerv Analysis: I’ll be honest. 3rd pick sucks and I don’t like this one. But at the same time, I don’t know who I’d have recommended over Darius for Seattle. The perpetual tank continues as these prospects develop. Kinda feels low effort to take another PG so you know this grade already
Grade: B-

4 Denver Nuggets: La Dortle
Analysis: Kipke said fuck you Clint. Rather than my version of fun Kipke chose an even more fun option, WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?! LuGilly comes into Denver being a do it all 2 guard(which they needed badly) who can help the mile high boys grow their game. First pick of the draft i actually fuck with beyond compare.
Grade: A

LuGerv Analysis: Wow this is an actual surprising pick. I think I like it? Feels like most of the guys you’d wanna take in theory aren’t built for FBB success. Taking a big butt type at 4 feels lame. Kipke is going for it with a guy who should be a wrecking ball on defense.
Grade: B+

5 Charlotte Hornets: Nicky ClaXXX
Analysis: Awwwwww SHIT, yuh boy is 4/5 on my bs mock. After doing Yao dirty for the SECOND time in his career, the Hornets snag perhaps the lankiest muhfucka in this draft to replace him. Damn does baskref really have one of his nicknames as “the slim reaper” thats gotta be copyright infringement. The Alchemist is so much cooler for him anyways.
Grade: B+ (gaff has higher scouted pot and ratings but notes are worse). Also slim reaper? Frick off. Nah but i love it, Hornets look fun.

LeMerXXX Analysis: When BPA and need meet you gotta love it. I personally would’ve gone Gafford over Claxton but he should be solid. That jumpshot has to be atrocious so I guess you hope he never gets fouled? Nic and JI would be the skinniest front court ever but man would they be nasty on switches!
Grade: A-

6 Milwaukee Bucks: Daniel “Time Lord” Gafford
Analysis: B2B correct picks! 🔥. Josh Hart and MKG get a new friend, one that will be wide open for an easy bucket just to have Beal or Donovan chuck up some shot while being double teamed. This only adds to the dysfunction reported out of Milwaukee’s locker room last year. Was MKG injured, or did he really just enjoy a walk-about. I love this pick though. Gaff and ClaXXX will be compared for years to come but me thinks both organizations will be happy.
Grade: D for David Tenant, the best Time Lord(fun fact: Gafford has a Dragon Ball Z leg sleeve tattoo). Real grade ill give is an A-

LeLord Analysis: Would’ve taken Big Dan Dan #3 so I think it’s a home run at 6 for Derek. Perfectly fits with his high scoring guards. Not much else to say. Good pick. Good fit.
Grade: A+

Update on Bol Bol: The man has left the green room. Upset, believing he was bound for a top three pick based on a recent mock draft he has…
Bol Bols agent just punched me in the face and told me to quit my job. Well folks its as lively as ever here at the 2019 draft *producer: Clint, your nose is broken, we have to cut to commercial. Damn he fucked you up.* hosted in the SwampzDome in SwampLand, New Jersey.

Does anyone else watch TV during October and after the 20th Butterfinger commercial you just say fuck it and go and get one. Then after that first bite you remember why no one eats these fucking things. Then you finish the whole thing out of spite but by that last bite you think its not too bad. This has happened twice to me already in the span of a week.

9:31 est: The Hannessian brothers have made their picks in lighting quick fashion.

7 Washington Bullets (from HOU): Nasty Naz
Analysis: A pick i entirely perceive as pandering to this live draft, the Wizards excuse me, the Bullets take Nasty Naz outta LSWhoDeyWho. I swear on everything that is good that if Wes turns him into a SF im done. I dont wanna live in a world where this man cant take Aytons job. This pick is so unnecessary lmao. Zion and Naz w/ Ayton, Allen, Siakam, and Wood in tow? Id already have this mans jersey if it was real life though. Update: bars.
Grade: D, this is simply not an F because Naz fucks and you would get the wrong idea. Love the player, despise that Wes went evil genius here to keep him away from other teams.

LeMerv Analysis: Another big? Don’t love this Wes. Didn’t love Naz’s notes. Don’t love the fit. Think there were more interesting guys on the board. Thybulle feels like he’d have been a super fun fit with Trae and Zion as a stocky non shooter.
Grade: D

8 Houston Rockets (from MIA): Bol Bol
Analysis: Well I admit I had Bol Bol too high and LuGoat too low but hey we all make mistakes. *shit Bol Bol is coming up on me now, Heyyyy Bol Bo…* cuts to commercial*
So uhm analysis right ha ha. Nolan snags the Unicorn of this class and injects some young talent into an organization that has been living on the edge like Swayze in Point Break. Bol Bol can be this teams backup 3-5 from day one and learn from 3 well rounded vets. Not you Marc, you failed all of us.
Grade: A; Bol Bol falling this far makes total sense but the situation is a good one and if all breaks right we are on Boban watch for Bol Bol. I heard there wasnt enough Boban talk so i had to give him a plug.

MervMerv Analysis: It’s a dart throw and Nolan has nothing to build around so I get the total swing for upside. I might have gone RJ or KPJ here for a potential fun guy to start building with but Bol should be fine. He’s gonna need a lot of TC love but could be exciting
Grade: A-

Update: 10:47pm est. The glow is gone. Our viewership has dropped to zero and im pretty sure no one has checked up on this again. We are still waiting for GX to pick and turn his dynasty into overdrive.

Update: 11:04pm est. i have stooped so low that i am spell checking myself. I refuse to format as of yet. Day 2 w/ Merv joining the draftcast is gonna be a mooovie.

Update: 11:38pm est. Merv txted me some AI Generated analysis and grades. Im balls deep in more Halloween movies and ive refreshed the draft every 2 mins. GX has got until midnight before SwampMedia shuts us down for the night.

Update: 11:57pm est. For the zero viewers still tuning in, i am beat. See you bright and early for another day of drafting tomorrow. Thank you to anyone who has read this. Im doing this shit for yall.

Day 2: 10:24am est. I overslept and have a midterm later today. Oh well, GX has made his pick after a mob hunted him down like he was Frankenstein. Lets get this bitch rollin.
9 Los Angeles Lakers: Jack Harlows favorite, Tyler Herro
Analysis: On a team devoid of any real backup guard depth, Tyler Herro becomes the second shooting guard taken. He has already been invited to live in the home that Fox and Bam rent on their rookie salaries. We believe the Lakers owner is still M.I.A as we received word that he approved this pick from a boat in Greece. The Lakers need a little more experimentation to work but Herro is a solid pick but ruins my mock draft idea.
Grade: B; makes sense but i think KPJ couldve been a better add on team with no backup PG. im also too tired to come up with something funnier

LeMerv Analysis: The Xtractor awakened from a Rocky Mountain slumber to select…..another scoring non defending SG? Would’ve thought Cam Johnson could make more sense with this roster. More interesting than this pick is the continued fall of RJ and KPJ who I think could’ve been taken really high. Love these flat drafts where everyone has different opinions and the board falls in a random manner. Herro seems straight forward for LAL and I think CJ McCollum’s days are numbered in the purple and gold.
Grade: B-

DONT LET RJ GET TO TONGER AT 14!

Our own editor(Mantypas) at SwampMedia has caught one of my many fuckups last night folks. Daniel Gaffords nickname is “the Land Lord”, makes sense. I wrote a whole piece on Gaff based on him being the next Doctor Who and i apologize for that, i fucked up. Damn i used to hate the LandLord nickname but it is kind of legit. OH Well. Fuck a rewrite, my grade stands. If anything the grade would go down because Land Lords are sheisty as a muhfucka but always need that rent money, is it for hookers and blow? Who knows. Its clearly not to fix the guestbathroom sink and shower that a thousand requests have been put in to fix.

Update: Sam Quadington of Portland has made his selection but first we have my favorite thing to announce.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨: Jesse has traded Bazzy Muhammad and Burtons Buttons own Deonte Burton to Wes’s Washington Bullets in exchange for the 20th pick, a couple second rounders, and cap space. Is it simply for resignings or just to find some crazy sleeper FA for 1m in cap space. Stay tuned.

10 Portland Trailblazers: Rowand Alexander Barrett Jr.
Analysis: I wanna hate on this pick but i cant give Sam another C+, OR CAN I?! I like this pick. I thought PDX could snag a solid role player at this point and they did. I also like going with Barrett here instead of the older Cam Johnson. KPJ couldve been fun but this pick is solid. Hopefully not being forced to be THE DUDE will help Rowand in his SLN quest. Seriously though, he should go by Rowand and just become a LOTR celebrity fan. That comicon puss is legendary supposedly.
Grade: B+, B for Barrett but it gets juiced from a fit and board perspective.

LeMervelous Analysis: Quady has such a boner for scorers who refuse to play a lick of defense. It’s like Al Davis and fast football players. Not sure what RJ did to Ashes to deserve I think the lowest defensive grade ever. Terrence Jones didn’t tip and ended up ok smh. If Quady can move McCants I foresee a tank for the Ant Man or Melo.
Grade: B

11 Denver Nuggets (from DET): “MATISSE "VESTIBULE" THYBULLE”
Analysis: Wow, did i think it could happen? Maybe, nah fuck not i didnt. Kipke truly and utterly said well shit if i cant get a center worth taking ill take two grimey, shut your shit down guards in this lottery. Im a Thyb lover IRL, i truly could give fuck all about offense when you play defense like he does. I understand this pick from two ways: 1 being Kipke wants to keep tanking, the other is in the future Matisse could be well rounded enough to get PT when this team wants to win. This team is hilarious on paper.
Grade: DD for Denver Defense; i guess ill bump it to a B- because if his offense never takes off to become efficient will he even get PT. Knowing this league, yes.

LeMerv Analysis: Loved this guy for SLN. Offered him a job as team photographer and he turned us down to take pictures of the Rocky Mountain vista. He’s going to be a stock god and immediately jump to the top of everyone’s heart throb lists after seeing his preseason sims. Andre Bob was the first version of this and the offense didn’t land, maybe Kipke can figure out how to coax some offense or at least mild efficiency from Henri Matisse
Grade: A+

Update: oh shit, JWoo has been playing me for the past season and i shouldve known that the man who builds his teams around defense would want Thybilly at 12. This really might be my last mockdraft season, im shit. Will Jeremy try to trade this pick? I wonder whats happening in Toronto right now. Maybe Drake has entered the draftroom to boost morale, i dont think its working though. Everyone is more sadboy than they were before he came in.

12 Toronto Raptors (from PHI): Kevin Porter Jr.
Analysis: From Cali to Toronto, KPJs camp is non too happy about going North but it might just be the perfect place for him. After falling down draft boards, JWoo scoops the shiny new SF that plays PG. Did he want a defensive stud? Sure but the value on someone like KPJ is top tier after Isaac(Ee-sAHckh) Bonga just won ROY. I think this is also nice shooting for a team that just snagged LeBronto. Nice recovery Jeremy.
Grade: A; not trying to suck JWoo just saying the value is really good imo. BUT, Jeremy does have to spend millions on a new and improved Therapy and Psychiatric staff to help KPJ. Lets bump this down to A-.
EDIT: Fair play by Merv. Its not cool to make a joke about KPJs mental health here. My bad. Hope Toronto helps him more than Houston or Cleveland did IRL.

LeMerv Analysis: Best player on the board. Easy selection for jwoo, too bad he fumbled it with an insensitive therapist joke BOOOOOOO. Can’t wait for Kevin’s agent to destroy Jeremy in negotiations in 4 seasons (it’s gonna be a bloodbath). Rumor has it KPJ’s manager was pushing Toronto because of its proximity to upstate NY but this cannot be confirmed. Maybe playing SG will keep the TOs down, otherwise OJ Mayo with better defense and boards is on the way!
Grade: F-, mental health is not a laughing matter

Sacramento is up next but we are hearing they are looking to trade out. One can assume their board had Bol Bol, Thybilly, KPJ amongst the top 5. Did i trade for Jrue thinking that Jesse could overtake me for a playoff spot, yea it was a reason haha. I knew the man wanted an NDL spot. I feel like he just sees less value in the lottery. Im now beyond cash strapped but hey, we made the playoffs and Jesse wont take Cam Johnson.

13 Sacramento Kings: Brandon Clarke…Brandon Clarke? Yup, Brandon Clarke
Analysis: After putting this writer on the edge of his seat for almost an hour, the Kingz shock the draft community and take Brandon Clarke. This past weekend i had a convo w/ Mantypas where he said he wanted Sir Clarke but didnt think he would last. No notes but his ratings are prettay juicy. Cutting to the end, Pas was right and I was wrong. Another notch to my belt of terrible takes. My grade for this is about to be terrible but i do love Clarke and was surprised he had zero notes. Shouldve just taken Donte and RP jesse smdh. I have to say sorry to Jayant for this before i proceed. But the last time i saw something like this is when i was looking at old drafts and Jayant took the best rebounder in the file in the top ten even though the player was like 30th in the file.
Grade: F; value doooood.

For reference and anyone that cares it was Reggie Evans in the 2002 draft. He was the 31 best prospect in the file with B+ rebounding and drafted at 9th overall.

LeMerv Analysis: Is this a bigger reach than when Memphis took Brandon Clarke?  That’s for Jwoo to decide. The analytics were nice in college but he old and didn’t have potential. Will he be new Kazemi? Doubtful. Would’ve much rather had a few other guys on the board. Not my favorite pick, but it does seem like Jesse’s picks always work out
Grade: C

Its 13:12 est and im now on Ashes watch. Will he ever like one of my articles? Probs not. Does he hold disdain for me? Most likely. Did he log off OW an instant after i told Merv i was playing on Mantypas’s account? Yes.

For everyone still tuning in, instead of talking fast food on the other draft article cast, thank you. We appreciate you here at SwampMedia.

*Clint: are we really losing to a fast food talkshow? Producer: yea, we might need to invite Bol Bol onto to the show. Clint: your shitting me, im not fighting Bol Bol for ratings. Producer: do you want a fucking job or not? Clint: Fuck, fine, im probably getting fired anyways, might as well make it legendary.*

14 Indiana Pacers: Talen Horton Tucker
Analysis: If i wasnt still getting over the feeling that Tonger fleeced me for Jrue id love this pick. I think THT has got the goods to be a decent SLN player with the goated “can play PG” stip. Remember when LA had THTmania, fun times. I should start looking at the notes again while doing this analysis but fuck it. As long as he is NDL eligible this pick is fine. Long term replacement for Deron maybe?
Grade: C+ if not NDL eligible, B for boring if he is. Damn, but names that could be lawfirms usually get a bump in my book. Ugh.

15 Seattle Supersonics (from CLE): Cam Johnson
Analysis: In the middle of eatting while his dog barks in the background, Nick snags Cam Johnson to create his quasi Suns-Knicks or is it Nets-Knicks squad. Regardless, this is either pandering or just letting board fall to him. I think he fits but im unsure he will get that much burn. Who tf knows. To quote one of my favorite rap songs: “so if it's gonna rain let it rain I spook you with the hit, make you jump like house of pain”. The SoNicks are gonna let that bitch fly this year, Seattle a known rainy place will indeed be making it rain threes this season.
Grade: A; value is there, is the fit? Profile guy as well this late is nice.

16 New Jersey Nets: Jax Haze
Analysis: Named after his parents favorite Mortal Kombat character, Jaxon is about to get SWAMPY. Does he get the famed Texas boost? He has had his moments so perhaps. Eh probably. I cant hate on this pick regardless of the fact that i dont like him IRL because Steven pays our salary here at SwampMedia. Nice NDL stash who could add some great SwampyBlockyButt depth down the line.
Grade: A+; hopefully i wont get fired now.

17 Los Angeles Clippers: Coby White
Analysis: Instant reading of this pick i said out loud “oh fuck i love that pick”. Everyone denounced Markell before and during the draft but all he has done is turn into Shmurdas legit young PG. None of his ratings look good but he is 19 and about to hit the NDL for some boosts before giving Bobby a prime backup at point. I dont think he wouldve lasted much longer so regardless of needs this pick fucks.
Grade: A-

*WAY TOO MANY As ARE BEING GIVEN OUT SO GET READY*

Update 16:37 est; in-class and cant find the right vibe to write these up yet. BUT we will be back in a couple hours.

UPDATE: 7:03pm est. Home from school and back with terrible takes, i am your Host Clintaveous Caldwell-Pope; lets get after it, shall we...

18 Boston Celtics (from GSW): Deandre Hunter
Analysis: The Celtics take a true SF who skews closer to a SG imo. Deandre Hunter seems like a good pick at 18 other than the fact that Joe has Knox and Lyles in the NDL. Oh and has Taurean Prince who he played out of position at SG all season. But yea i get it, its what i do with PFs, take enough shots and hopefully a couple become part of the long term team. Supposedly Deandre is wicked SMAHT as well, not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing but i guess we will find out.
Grade: B-; based on the file its great value but its just plain boring so we give Joe minus points.

19 Cleveland Cavaliers (from CHI): Max Strus
Analysis: THE STRUS IS LOOOSE. This is fine, he ends up where he wanted to go IRL, has that name power, certified sniper and comes into the league ready to shoot. A 23 year old being sent to the NDL isnt terrible but im sure he feels like he is ready to fight for a rotation spot. Ill be honest, sorry Mike, if your plan is for the two years, why not send Cam Reddish who is three years younger with already "good upside". All i know is that Michael will read this and make sure the Strus is loose. Also what do i know? The Cavs were on the precipice of a conference finals, meanwhile the THREE HEADED MONSTER in Phoenix caused THE MVP to be sent home in the 1st GD round. Damn im still salty.
Grade: C+; idk there were younger options but Strus will probs get to B- A- so yea fuggit why not.

20 Sacramento Kings (from WAS/MIN): Rui Hachimura
Analysis: Oh Rui, nothing like Lebron bringing out the best in you and forcing you to rebound. Where tf was that effort in DC? The Kings drafted Brandon Clarke...fuck me Jesse, really? Drafting college teammates who play the same position...make it make sense. Eh idfc cause Rui is more of an SF anyways, ooo his notes are pretty good as well. He is also relatively high on the draft board. Yea, ive talked myself into liking this pick and not thinking its boring.
Grade: B; really makes up for the full send of Clarke at 13 but i think Jesse will make me eat that F.

21 Denver Nuggets (from VAN): Jaylen Hands
Analysis: Jaylen Hands is a somewhat random pull for an Ashes redemption story. I remember watching his highschool mixtape and thinking this dude was next. Then he went to UCLA and i never cared again. 6'3" 20 yrs old and the third best "pure PG" in the draft isnt too shabby to throw into the NDL and see whats up. Kipke came into this draft and drafted what the team needed most: Guards. I just wonder if someone like Poole wouldve been a good play here instead.
Grade: C+; matches the rating he has for Out/Han/Def.

22 Toronto Raptors (from BOS/PHX): Chuma Okeke
Analysis: AWWW SHIT, of course the true draft expert picks THA BOI OKEEEK. If everyone in this league is a slut for Defense then how did Okeke fall this far. This dude is about to be straps for backup 3/4s in the league. Depending on how much JWoo paid for this, i think it was a solid play after losing out on Vestibule. No notes, and low in the draft file though. I love Okeke but Okeke, do you love me? Seriously Jeremy, kick Drakes ass out of the draft room already.
Grade: D+; i get it, i really do, and i think this pick works out just as I do Clarke for Jesse but this is my grade, so FTW.

23 Los Angeles Lakers (from UTA): Sekou Doumbouya
Analysis: Part of me thinks GX has no clue who Sekou is or was and is banking on the "sick name" boost. So fuck it, lets ride that train. The 15th pick in real life draft was someone i wanted the Wizards to draft at 9 instead of Rui, kind of crazy how im glad they didnt. Nah i cant do this, George you really just said fuck it with this pick and hope to hit the lottery. I cant knock it and hopefully he turns out better here with some NDL seasoning but cmon there are soooo many other options. IDK who am I to be a douche right now, Go Lakers, dynasty incoming.
Grade: D- for Doumbouya, B- for Boumbouya

Image

Ope, Bol Bol is back on the set... OH fuck thats right, i have to fight him again. Uhm well i am getting fired so Bol Bol, care for a smoke and a pancake instead? or maybe a bong and a blintz?...

*Clint and Bol Bol smoke on set and the cameras kept running, thus putting a nail in Clints SwampMedia career coffin*

24 Boston Celtics (from SAS): Devidas Syrvidas
Analysis: Joe gets in on the "name" fun which might bump the Doumbaya pick up a couple letter grades for starting a movement. Yes Joe, how indeed is 3rd highest pot guy still available. Nah i think I actually looked Syrv up and found out he was pretty good IRL this past season of EuroBall. Idk if this Ashes saying why not or is this another Norvel Pelle case. Ay maybe he takes off in the NDL, with a 3rd FRP why not fuck around and find out.
Grade: B- to match GX.

Ugh Merv, if your reading, im losing steam and becoming more of a douche as this rolls on. HELP!

Yep, we are also back to ZERO viewership sadly. I get it, but ill grind this out and hopefully someone somewhere is enjoying this. Probs not, but maybe? Nah now im pandering...shit. my aura is in the negatives at this point

25 Toronto Raptors (from MIL/ATL): Ndudas Ebidas
Analysis: I have no idea who this. He isnt in the file...ope Jeremy was having fun. Cool nope, yea i knew that its a made up name, duhhhh. FUCK

25 Milwaukee Bucks (from ATL): Goga Bits
Analysis: Just wanna say how in the fook did the Goges fall this far. Extremely surprised that a league that loves their bigs would let a dude who is 20 with pretty decent notes fall this far. Is he hateable IRL? YES! But so what, he could be a thiccums eventually. Plus i heard he got his nickname from winning the best build at the 2013 Georgian National Computer Build-off.
Grade: A but really BB for Bitadze BUTTS

26 Portland Trailblazers(from LAL/ORL): Cam Oddish
Analysis: Having the same last name as an OG pokemon instantly gives this a good grade. A tad perplexed a fire trainer would add a Grass type pokemon but it seems like a good move that other trainers wont see coming. Maybe its so Sam can poison other foes within the PacDiv, hmmm. Oddish comes into the NDL as a bucket from the SF spot. Will Quady use a sun stone or leaf stone on the kid for his final evolution is the real question i need answered. Regardless this is a good pick for this team.
Grade: A+; are we cool again Sam?

27 Philadelphia 76ers (from TOR): Jarret Culver
Analysis: Welp why not, DMO zigs when the league zags so this makes sense. The man who beats to his own drum drafts heir to the Culver empire, Jarret Culver. He can't shoot, but i never read he wont shoot. Hey is he going to get a fuck ton of steals, like Culver's current steal of deal, 3 frozen custards and 4 cheeseburgers for 6.99. NICE! Apologies to everyone i gave a shit grade to and gave my real honest opinion of. Im sorry. Cause im talking up DMOs pick rn like it was really good. Was it? Who knows but w/ that C+ inside might as well just take Nassir Lil and see how that worked out. Also, perhaps see yuh next Wednesday DMO, i got an itchin for music trivia.
Grade: C for Culvers mmmmmmmmm

28 Atlanta Hawks (from NYK): Cooaleb Martin
Analysis: WE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THIS THANG. I REALLY WISH I DIDNT THROW AWAY MY 2nd ROUNDER FML. Three and D mold for a team that was one win away from a ring(sorry Heimer). Yeah this pick works for a winner, but why not McDaniels? Nah this pick is fine STFU Clint. Good player for a good team, good job Heimer.
Grade: C for Cody who i thought it was at first.

29 Milwaukee Bucks (from DAL): Terence Davis
Analysis: UGHHHHHHHHHH. I mean come on(Jimmy Valmer ref). Does Davis look like a juicy NDL player? Yes sure, no doubt. But you have to get lucky that he wont be a diminished gains guy. If you believe his pot is higher and you get to give him +10 at least then fuck it why not. Good rebounding SGs are hard to come by. Damnit, just talked myself into liking a pick i originally hated again. THIS PICK SHOULD BE SOMEONE WHO IS YOUNGER AND PERHAPS HIGHER POT BUT I THINK THE IDEA BEHIND THIS PICK IS LEGIT AND COULD BE A CRAZY GOOD STEAL.
Grade: Ill just give it a B for Be Nice!

IM DONE. NONE OF YOU WILL READ THIS AND IM NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN UNTIL NEXT DRAFT. be good everyone, its all in good fun and I do hope all these picks work out, not just for you but for the overall pool of players in this league being better. GOOD LUCK!

Your take on butterfingers is how I feel about Gatorade… the bright colors are deceiving as hell and I’m always disappointed that the first sip doesn’t taste better than my brain thinks it should.
