Panther-Lair Pandemic Fantasy Draft - Just The Picks Mam

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

One thing in doing this draft, you really see where Pitt Basketball's strengths and weaknesses have been over the last 30 some years. And 2 guards specifically, 3 (small forwards) also are definitely weaker than the other positions. Where the strengths are on the boards.

 

[Bethlehemjohn]

Shooting guard by far the weakest.

 

[thirteenNINE]

A handful of decent ways to round out my starting five here but I'll grab Andre Williams, a good shooter and a good rebounder who had the misfortune of being stuck behind Charles Smith which is no shame.

 

[Ski11585]

His junior year wasn’t too bad at all and I know he will play well with Gray.

I’ll take Kendall for my PF.

gonna need a minute on my last pick.

 

[Ski11585]

What the heck. There are worse picks than Darryl Shepard.

PG: Trey McGowens - 11.5 ppg/3.6 apg/3.3 rpg
SG: Jason Maile - 12.4 ppg/1.8 apg/2.0 rpg
SF: Lamar Patterson - 17.1 ppg/4.3 apg/4.9 rpg
PF: Levon Kendall - 7 ppg/1.6 apg/5.4 rpg

[Fk_Pitt]

A handful of decent ways to round out my starting five here but I'll grab Andre Williams, a good shooter and a good rebounder who had the misfortune of being stuck behind Charles Smith which is no shame.

He had good production at Pitt. I was too young then so don’t really remember, but one could say he was very productive. Then Charles arrived on campus and his minutes dropped considerably.

 

[CougarClaws]

I remember being in High School and thinking Marlon Ferguson was going to be even better than his name. Looking back, I was wrong on both counts....

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

The last pick was made almost 4 hours ago. What is the plan with moving forward?

[CougarClaws]

Sticking by both the 11-7 rule, and the 4hr rule. He's got 11 minutes.

This draft has moved along really well compared to the other one.

Just the threat of bring bumped has served it's purpose well so far. thirteenNINE will be our 1st transgressor it appears.

He took Andre Williams

 

[CougarClaws]

Define "little longer" and make a case. I am open to group discussion on the issue.

 

[CougarClaws]

Wasn't that @79?

I am open to a conversation though as @Fsgolfdr has been off the board since 8am.

 

[pittchagg]

Let’s wait a little longer.

No, drop him!

(Kidding - I have a bad feeling he’s going to pick the guy I have in mind!)

 

[pittchagg]

Wasn't that @79?

Nine took Williams in the back end of the fifth. We’re on his front end sixth rounder.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Nine took Williams in the back end of the fifth. We’re on his front end sixth rounder.

Correct - The last pick was made by Ski at 6:40AM today.

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Sorry fell back asleep

I’ll take Trent Johnson

I feel like a proud new papa.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

A couple of guys I was going to go with, but when I looked at their stats, they weren't as good as I thought they were.

I am more thin in the backcourt than the front court.

So.....with my pick, I will take the 19th Hijacker......Ahmed Shareef. He averaged 9.0 ppg his Sr year.

 

[thirteenNINE]

Well that stinks...

Well that stinks...

Without a dialogue about changing the rule, once Fsg made his pick I thought it unfair try and rewind him.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Just as a comment, Trent Johnson and Darryl Shephard would have been my likely picks if they were available, So you all are looking at the same reference database that I am. LOL

C Mobley
PF McNeal
SF Cam Johnson
SG Durand Johnson
PG Marcus Carr
6th/bench Ahmed Shareef

In hindsight my Cam pick isn't that bad. My other choice would have been Matthews or Wanamaker But I got a pretty lengthy team.

 

[thirteenNINE]

Hey, the rules is the rules.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I’ll take Trent Johnson

One of the fun things about doing this for me is thinking about guys who I hadn't thought about in years. Trent Johnson is a guy like that. That's a good pick.

Had to do a lot of research , especially when your guy is taken a pick or two in front of your turn . It was a fun exercise and fortunately with most of us this didn’t interfere with our busy schedules !

#1 remaining on my board....

Your team should be a contender to win the Tourney IMO.

 

[thirteenNINE]

Welp, I had three guys that I was debating when I was working out this morning but only one is left so give me Dante Taylor then. He was very underappreciated because he gave a very good 15-20 minutes per night and his advanced stats are exceptional, he was just always hurt.

I was all set to choose Taylor until I looked and saw that he was only listed as a C, when I thought he was a C/PF. Quality sixth man given the minutes limitation.

Dante was my 2nd choice here based on only being a C.

Heh, yeah I never thought that I'd be jumping on boxes in the garage debating the relative merits of Trent Johnson, Tyrell Biggs, and Dante Taylor in a quarantine but here we are.

Biggs positional flexibility and his ability to hit the threes his senior year were really big plusses but then again Taylor was one of the best rebounders in the country every year. So it was a win/win.

 

[iMissTheOldDayss]

Khem Birch.... (Wanted to take Junie Lewis just for fun ) lol
