It was fun the first time, lets do it again. You recall the rules. Add your pick to the list so the next person can copy and paste the whole thing. Give some insight. Don't focus too much on the team drafting in that slot and 6 hours between yourself picking.

1. Kevin Durant - Easy Street.

1. Kevin Durant - Easy Street.
2. Al Horford - Just barely edges out Joakim Noah. He's much, much better offensively, and no slouch on defense. I could probably be pursuaded to take Joakim though if someone tried hard enough. Can't go wrong with either Gator.

After looking at the players for a while I think this is a much more difficult draft to redo. There are a lot of quality role players.

I was expecting the Horford edge over Noah pick. That is a very tough one. Those guys are close enough that it be a decision based on what you already have. A team in need of front court scoring would probably take Horford and a team with a solid PF aleady would take Noah because he is the perfect compliment to a guy like that. No wonder Florida was so good those years. These guys who together so well. All around I agree Horford is the better basketball player.

1. Kevin Durant
2. Al Horford
3. Joakim Noah

Defensive stud, never thought he would be this good

Tier 1 - Durant
Tier 2 - Florida Bros

Entering Tier 3. The rest of the top 10 is the wild wild west.

Yeah, that Florida team was loaded. And then you toss in Brewer as a supporting piece, and wow... how did I not pick them in my bracket? Dangit.

Good PG, still young and improving. Doing great for the Grizz this year.

Solid center, legit 7 footers who can score and play defense are hard to find.

6. Aaron Afflalo

Sharpshooter + defense = player I want. It was a tough choice for me between him, Wilson Chandler, and Stuckey. I also considered Thaddeus Young and Nick Young.

I appreciate the Afflalo pick at 6, actually. Realistic

7. Jeff Green

A lot of people think he is an underperformer. I am not sure why. he plays hard, is a winner, can shoot and score the ball, plays nice D, is still pretty young. I like him better than the Young brothers.

Yeah, I really like the Afflalo pick to. His defense is stellar. I wanted to pick Wilson Chandler next, but I think the correct pick has to be Rodney Stuckey. He's a very good/legit PG. He should lead the Pistons for years to come. He'd be a stud on the TWolves.

I actually was thinking about that today- how well would he fit in on our team? Wouldn't he almost be a lower risk version of OJ Mayo? I would be 100% behind a trade for Stuckey, something like Ellington, Utah's protected First, and... for Stuckey? What do you guys think it would take? Would we need to give up an asset like this year's 1st or Beasley? Would it be worthwhile?

Pretty soon you fill the entire spectrum of players (Pure PG, PG/SG, Pure SG, SG/SF, Pure SF, SF/PF, Pure PF, PF/C, Pure C) and a coach can't help but play 5 guys who can make do with each other, I mean, right?

1. Kevin Durant

9. Thad Young

I like Thad as much as any of the last 4 guys. Phili seems to play well when he is playing well.

I'm probably overvaluing Stuckey here... I just like the idea of a guy who can hold the fort down at PG and then slide over to a backup or SG position without sucking and/or pissing off the whole Rubio camp. Maybe I'm the only one.
