The Whiteside pick was in the 7th round. He already had made his pick in the 8th.
Confused. How can you make your 8th round pick before the 7th?

Because of the salary ranges. If there is no one left in front of you in that range you are allowed to make that pick.

So, just so I understand correctly, if you are picking the final player in a salary range, even if you have other selections before that, you can use the final round pick on that selection proactively? It makes sense on paper, but I am excusing myself for speaking up, as it can be quite confusing.

it just seems as though I picked last in the first round and with this trick, both of my picks are basically last in the last round....which kind of seems like its a little unfair? anyways my guy is gone so ill need some time

I picked 24th last time, and I don't think it is unfair - it's just confusing skipping rounds. I'd prefer that draft ahead only makes sense if it is your next pick.

Robert covington 1-3

so after the draft any player not picked (in that price range) below $11M is fair game right?

Tyreke Evans 3-4 sitemail help, plz.

Also, dakjd901, I don't see how you basically picked last in the final round, since you just picked a 3-4 guy before I could...or maybe I'm not quite understanding your issue.
