2nd/3rd Round Draft Discussion, 2008

[SteveBsFan]

I don't like making my first pick in the 5th round, that won't happen again

Not much to choose from, although some guys who looked like they could boom

[Coder]

Which one Coder??? LOL... I was surprised both the guys I select late where there...

Woo Hoo

Gatson.. I discovered him last night while prepping my list for today and realized that he's a hidden gem..

[iceman99]

Yeah I liked Gaston and I needed to find youth at MLB with to aging vets. I am hoping he pans out.

[sovstar]

1 hour limits. This is where we separate the men from the boys.

[Suicane]

LDE Bernard Hastings taken for Wichita per in game need.

[sovstar]

Spunky just picked my boy!

[sovstar]

Carlisle is another college stud (87/100) with a high volatily and fairly good combine numbers. I contemplated taking him in the 5th, but I went for a need instead. The guard I picked is a boom candidate as well though, so it's all good.

[Suicane]

Ill be up in a few moments.

[sovstar]

Ill be up in a few moments.

If Carlisle booms I'll blame your cunt ass for not trading me the extra 5th I wanted last night.

These rules are not absolute, but just trends. The yellow line at the top is an interesting case: he went from 60/80 to 60/60 to 69/69 in the course of a season. Most data for the losers only lasts a season or two, because they were cut. One exception is the pink line that starts at 70, I've kept him and he continues to trend down. Those that trend down also gain current pts at a slower rate, probably because they don't have as far to go to reach their full potential.

Is the magnitude of the drop in potential an issue. 1 point drop the same as a 3 point drop?

I'm hoping Carlisle works out because I am going to need all the corners I can get at this point.

I don't have enough data to say for sure, but it looks random (for example, one -4 went down another 12 pts by the next offseason, another -4 only went down another 3), may have to do with how good your scout is (maybe if he is good he sees more of the drop at once).

[Suicane]

MLB Zach Davison taken for Orlando per in game need.

[P. Diddy]

There's three guys I could use still left. I wasn't expecting that, so if someone wants a guard mentor, now's the time to PM me.

[Suicane]

WLB Don Ellard taken for Texas per in game need.
