***I really like most 1st round picks out of the Pac 10 -140

James Harden, Jordan Hill, Demar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Darren Collison, Taj Gibson, Chase Budinger will all be taken from the Pac 10. Doubtful list: Jeff Pendergraph, Jon Brockman

James Johnson, Ty Lawson, Gerald Henderson, Jeff Teague, Tyler HanXXXough, Wayne Ellington will be taken from the ACC. Doubtful list: Toney Douglas, Jack McClinton, Danny Green

I would play small, 1st UNC player taken Lawson ev, and 1st senior taken in T Williams ev.
As well as a small nibble on Foreign born 1st round picks UNDER -5.5 -120. (I'm even counting Brandon Jennings in the foreign group, cause he plays for a foreign team, but he was born in LA. He shouldn't count against you the way the bet has it worded.)





I have those players being taken in the Pac-10 and ACC above. I think both of the doubtfuls on the Pac-10 list go higher than any of those on the ACC list. Good luck if you play them!

[MR Pain]

Pain's picks

how many guards will be selected in the 1st round ***over 12 -150

1st NC tarheel drafted ***Lawson +100

1st senior drafted *** Terrance Williams +100

Who will Grizzlies take at #2 *** Hasheem Thabeet -140 (i know i posted -160 but it has gone to -140, which is why i'm playing it)


I'm working on talking to my brother about the jennings/holiday pick, my brother knows B-Ball much better than me if i get a pick from him i will post it.

Thanks for the input KB, those top 3 picks i posted are my top 3 and i am glad that you agreed with 2 of them, lawson and williams, i guess we were posting at the same time. to tell you the truth i do like the pac 10 play as well, i might throw that jennings vs holiday pick out the window and play that pac 10 play.

* The only reason i'm not playing the foreign born is exactly your reasoning, your right the way it is worded it should not count against me, but i don't want to lose it if they do count him.


my top 3
over 12 gaurds for the 1st round
Lawson 1st tar heel
williams 1st senior

[kbsooner21]

I don't have anywhere to bet that right now. Hopefully I'll get the chance if my shitty books put some lines up.

My top 3 are:

Pac 10***
Lawson first Heel
T Will first Sr.

Nibble on Under foreign born.

GL man!

[MR Pain]

I'm adding the pac 10 play as well to my top 3 picks. i like your analysis KB

I agree with KB on the foreign born player under 5.5, dont know if il play any other props for tonite but am prob playing that one. Anyone know a site where you can see the draftees personal info, just want to check their birth places, like Thaabeet, the kid from Gonzaga{they always have foreign born players} ,and I thought i heard {cant remember who though} was born in Germany because his dad was in the military over there,would that be considered a foreign player? Whenever i see a prop I really like I almost always get beat on a technicality, just want to cover all my basis.

[BigWeiner]

Final Answer, this is how I think it'll go down.

1. Griffen
2. Thabeet
3. Rubio, then traded to the Knicks for David Lee
4, Evans
5. Curry
6. Harden these two to replace Foye and Miller
7. Jordan Hill

So......

1st senior drafted *** Terrance Williams +100 = WINNER

Who will Grizzlies take at #2 *** Hasheem Thabeet -140 (i know i posted -160 but it has gone to -140, which is why i'm playing it) = WINNER


I'm working on talking to my brother about the jennings/holiday pick, my brother knows B-Ball much better than me if i get a pick from him i will post it.

3-1 on my original posted picks.....not bad for having some fun......

I did wind up taking the pac 10 play but i think it's a loser, or it's push, and wow BW am i glad i had a 12:00pm appt today, i saw your post on the kings taking evans and played that as well, i was going to play the holiday pick, but instead of laying the juice i saw you seperated the treke evans post from the others so played it because it was a dog and it worked out !

so the final 4-2 for +3 units, thanks for the dog winner again BW. P.S my brother liked jennings and you liked holiday so i that's why i took the kings prop. thanks again

*Coach i feel for you buddy with that international born prop, that's why i stayed away because you never know like you said. i think it went over on the last pick #30

[MR Pain]

I think the Kings will draft Tyreke Evans
