Okay. Buck Williams for me.

This guy was certainly not my first thought (actually I apparently was sucking hind *** on the brand sweepstakes - so I guess that shows a good instinct anyway) but I'm gonna take a flier on him and see what kind of feedback I get....

WALT BELLAMY

so I guess here's how the rest of this draft is going to go for me...


…"welp..."

Ahh, I miss Ambien. When I was in the AF, "Here, we'll give you all you need." After getting out and my insomnia gets even worse, the VA says, "That's too powerful of a drug for us to give out."

Yep. When I was in the Army I would fly back and forth between Hawaii and Thailand every other month. 17 hour flight and they would hand it out like candy. I took it once and I felt like when Will Farrell gets hit by that tranquilizer in Old School.

I am taking Larry Nance

He should have been taken at least 15 picks sooner. I am an idiot for even thinking I had a shot at him.

Lol, I was like that too the first handful of times. They bounced me back and forth with Ambien/Lunesta for a few years, along with Kolonopin/Valium. The VA apparently doesn't give out the effective stuff.

And on a draft note, Nance and Buck were on my shortlist for the 3rd rd. Not surprised they were taken, but disappointed. There are a few more guys of their phylum left, though.

'hello darkness, my old friend....'

When I used to take Ambian, I used to talk out loud to my (then) wife, and saying things like "Wow, look at those clouds...that clloud looks like Donald Duck! That cloud looks like a snowman! That cloud looks like Karl Malden. Wait, no it's a pelican!" ...and so on. Really wild stuff that **** does to your mind as you're falling asleep!

Anyways, I sent a proxy list to: robusk, pharrop, ysw128, dh555, dBKC, pexetera

Painful wait. I've flipped 100 times and have finally settled on one guy. Which means I know he will be the next pick.

Kyle Lowry

Draymond Green

There's actually a couple players left that I was considering in the second round but I don't think they fit that well anymore after the McHale pick, so I'll go with...

Manu Ginobili

Amerk selects via proxy:

Ray Allen

amerk selects Ray Allen by proxy.

I was pretty zeroed in on Manu and I am hanging with my daughter right now. So I need a minute to get my **** sorted.

Al Horford

Someone SM for me.
