Rupp Rafters NBA Draft Cowtown Cat Champion!

[Drcats2025]

The list in the OP is usually pretty up to date so I just go there and search, then look thru the past few picks that haven't been added to it yet.

I do the same but it’s easy to overlook a name a round or two back that you missed, especially with the 5 kids and working from home that Frank alluded to lol

That's why I use the search function, I don't trust my eyes with all those names. It gets hard the last few rounds.

 

[WilmoreCat]

I literally just look at random NBA teams rosters and always find people overlooked or forgotten . It’s very helpful these last few rounds

 

[GonzoCat90]

Let me see if I have that @GonzoCat90 thing figured out.

My next pick is a real sleeper I’ve been sitting on for several rounds now. He is a lockdown defender, in fact, he’s such a fantastic defender he doesn’t even need to be on the floor to shut his man down. Over the last 8 games of last year he increased his offensive efficiency by .01% and his PER by nearly .1 and he actually got a rebound which clearly shows he’s ready for a breakout season. An all star appearance is likely in the next couple of years. I pick the man and future legend, Patrick Beverly.

Your satire won't get out of the first round either.

Lol, it was funny and you know it.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I think this player is good. He is tough. He is a versatile defender. He makes 41% of his 3s.

I want Marcus Morris, F.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Lol, it was funny and you know it.

I'm all for being the butt of a joke. the selling of draft picks has long been a running gag in these GM drafts, that was just poorly done.

Especially with a guy like Pat Bev that had so much ammo you could have used. I'll do your next one for you.

Lol

 

[FrankUnderwood]

It’s hard to look through over 100 players picked. I’ll probably do the same on one of my last two lol

It is! I quickly scan over the picks. Then scan again and the whole time I am still worried I’ve picked an already chosen player.

 

[DraftCat]

You’ve done a fantastic job running these drafts. They’re silly, but fun, and do take a little time and effort from you. I’ve said it before, but its much appreciated.

Appreciate it... now who do I contact to become a Gold member I think my blood sweat and tears deserves some recognition!

Mods can my ID be changed to "DraftCat" ?!

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Same here lol

 

[catsfan3523]

I’ll take Seth Curry

@quest4#9 otc

Yep same here. With my last pick I had about 6 guys I was deciding between. I searched em all on page one and every dang one of ‘em had been taken and i has to start from scratch [laughing]

 

[quest4#9]

I need an elite perimeter defender for guys like Durant and Lebron. He can also play some pt guard for you. He's just 23 so he will only get better. I'll take Justice Winslow.

 

[quest4#9]

@JHannibalSmith OTC

 

[JHannibalSmith]

I’m gonna go with a versatile wing who is a very good secondary facilitator & solid shooter & defender. He averaged 15, 6 & 4 this season while shooting 37% from 3 & has put up similar numbers over the past 5 seasons. I’ll take Will Barton.

@YaySports OTC

 

[DraftCat]

@YaySports is pulling a Frank

IKR!

 

[WilmoreCat]

Do i get to pick at 10 if he doesn’t pick by then?

 

[DraftCat]

yessir

 

[WilmoreCat]

yessir

Sounds good. I’ll check back in later and draft yet another stud [laughing]

 

[jcmc225]

If i could pick in my sleep i would have lol. Ill go with a guy who is just 20 years old. The start to his NBA career was a mixed bag early but he improved every month the season went on, shooting 41, 44, 55% across the final 3 months of the season. 40,35,47% from 3 in those 3 months. (Although march only had 4 games before the league was shut down.) in those months his scoring average went from 12-13-17.5. He seemed to settle in the longer things went and became the player many thought he shoulda been in college. His best basketball is ahead of him and he should add more quality perimeter shooting to space the floor for Harden/Fox. Ill go with Cam Reddish

As a Hawks fan I’m very optimistic about Cam’s future. I truly hate rooting for Dukies but it was very nice watching the gradual improvement in his shot. He was a pretty good playmaker & defender by the end of the season too.

@GoBigBlue712 @UKNorse @drcats2013 coming up soon also

 

[WilmoreCat]

I will take the first rookie. He’s honestly better than anyone left. Give me James Wiseman.

@jwhite123

Timeout, I'm filing for an official review. @UKNorse , can we draft kids who aren't actually in the league yet?

 

[DraftCat]

Yes it is in the rules on the original post on page 1.

Although again I would caution anyone picking an unproven player.

But if you can sell it go for it.

If anyone didn’t know that we were allowed to I am all for redoing my pick btw

I love the logic. “Aw hell he cant be worse than aaron baynes!”

 

[jrpross_rivals]

It was outlined in the OP. I thought of taking Wiseman earlier. I say let it stand.

 

[quest4#9]

Nah you’re good I think everyone knew. Some of those kids might start going now.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

No you're fine, I just thought we were only doing current playersxand I hadn't even thought about the draft. I was confused, my mistake.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Carry on @jwhite123 , you're up.

 

[Drcats2025]

Not staying up late tonight. Four day weekend coming up and I need my rest lol. May make it to 1130

 

[quest4#9]

@jwhite123 a poor mans frank

 

[Drcats2025]

I will forever refer to anything late as “Frank”. If I’m late for something, I’ll simply tell everyone, “Sorry I was Frank, I had to stop and get gas.” Or, “poker starts at 8:00 tonight, guys. BYOB and try not to be Frank.”

It’s time for bed. We’ve beaten this dead horse into oblivion. Lol.
