i hesitated a loooong time for my pick, Harden is my favorite player right now and his efficiency is over the top, it was really hard to do this but i let my head pick over my heart... yea I tend to be a sentimental... Josh Smith has all the right numbers, more minutes then Dwight Howard and much better D then both Love and Griffin, the other guys I was considering

I thought Josh Smith went a little bit high, but I understand. He will help keep you out of the usage penalty, plus that rebounding at SF, assists, and defense make him a good guy to build around. If he only made more of those shots that he jacks up, he would be a monster.

Usage penalty???

If I didn't know any better I'd think dh rigged this whole thing to get Bynum at 12. What a steal. No way should he have fallen out of the top 7...Ryan Anderson may have a somewhat unique skill set, but for him to go ahead of Bynum is criminal.

Agreed, I had Bynum at number 4 on my board behind James, Durant, and Howard. Huge steal.

I may be willing to trade down from #15 if anyone is interested. Sitemail me if so.

Ha, of course you picked Gasol, the guy I had lined up. Give me a couple minutes and I'll have my pick up.

I guess I'll pick Tyson Chandler and just not get any points from my #1 pick. This will be interesting.

Any takers on trading up? I'll pick soon if not
