El Fin...for now

9:25

The old computer is dying, round one is ending, I’m a little drunk, and thus the end to the first annual live draft diary.
This has been a pretty entertaining first round for a pretty sub-par draft class talent wise.
I’ll be back this weekend with commentary on the whole draft and several draft-day trades.
Thanks for keeping up, I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.
Holler at Christian Eyenga?

Beaubois, yesss

9:12
I called the Mullens for Beaubois swap. Same with the Ellington pick. Everyone I’m sitting with will be a witness.

I like Beaubois right now. Sweet name, he seems to have some legit bounce to his game, and he seems like he’ll be a Barbosa type. Ready for Beaubois.

8:51 Mark

8:45
Everyone says Omri Casspi is really tough. But no one says why or how. Is he tough just bc he’s from Israel? They showed him yelling a lot. Hopefully Ric Bucher explains this to me later.

8:50
BJ Mullens has “Good Size” “Good Hands” and “Athleticism.”
Remember, these are professional graphics people.

8:40 Victor Claver looks like the stick bug from a Bug’s Life

Yep.

8:30 Mark

8: 30
Teague to ATL
Maynor to Utah
Love both these picks. Teague has ‘Sizzle’ which is my favorite term for any player.
Maynor will be phenomenal in Utah. Perfect fit.
I was on the phone with my buddy Zach, a diehard Jazz fan and he said the best thing I’ve heard all night:
“I hope Mark Jackson does commentary during this draft like he does during actual games: Eric Maynor like ‘get out of my way, I’m going to Utah.”
Genius.

3 PG's at 8:18

8:18
Ty Lawson – MIN
Huh? 3 pgs clearly means a trade, but who do they trade with? Im baffled. Chad Ford on ESPN says Rubio is gonna be traded, that would be a huge mistake
Okay Bucher just calmed me down. This pick is going to Denver, which is a pick I like for the Nugs.

Haha nicely done Roy.

Jrue Holiday

Damnit, I missed

I wanna see these Jrue Holiday highlights. Because I don't think they exist.
