Rumor is they don't prefer Towns. Okafor will be a 20 ppg game player from game one. And has the skills to be a better defender then he was in college.

6ers could of ended up with 6 picks in the top 11. Theirs, Lakers if they dropped 2 not went up 2 and some other teams if they dropped out of top 10.

I see the lakers traded their 27 and 32nd pick to move up to early 20s to get someone like Anderson.

Why do I follow this franchise?

clearly you enjoy pain, suffering and futility :)

That grantland article is awesome reading of a train wreck. It's scary how people running several hundred million dollar company can screw something up so badly. With all the fantasy sports around these days they would have been better off getting the winner of a roto league to handle the draft and all trading.

It's too easy to speak in hindsight. Getting drafted or traded to a NBA team is just a part of being a professional basketball player. All players at this level have talent and the physical ability. But you hear things like motivation, ego, money, lack of team chemistry, living in a new environment and other things that hinder players' basketball growth while others thrive in it. Do you blame the individual or the organisation? I personally think the organisation is integral in building up a player, kind of like what the Spurs have done but not everybody can be like the Spurs. Sometimes it requires an individual or a group of individuals to change the organisation's culture. Something the Timberwolves maybe haven't done well in...

Scouting the draft is big business and some teams are just better at finding out what they need then others.
Most of it comes down to the selection of the player and the coaching they then give them. Some teams just have a lack of ability to do these things well. A prospect is never a sure thing but teams should be able to hit more then they miss.

A few teams have been selling off of recent.

Im a bit surprised that the average income is only 33 K.

I had an account years ago but never used it.

Always found it better to manually scout teams

Well not using Buzzerbeater Manager has nothing to do with my current predicament and I was also lucky enough to win a bit of silverware not using it

LOL I have the lowest players salaries in the ABBL and for the next day or two I still have the highest ranked team in Australia

Yeah, I was only teasing. I actually wouldn't want to see you or Koops drop out of the top league. Long way to go though.
