Re: Jay Bilas' Best Available - Draft Commentary (Updated through #18)

OP should just comment from now after the pick was made. Else the scouting by pretty active GMs was nearly worthless!

I've actually just gone back to school very recently after a very carefree two years of being in the military and much less to do, so I likely won't be on as much.

I'll still be on in bursts, and the commentary will continue, though it may be not as real-time as it was.

I had no idea of which player choose in this draft since did no scouting

so let empley choose for me, anyway perry seemed to be good value

Updated through #18. Whew.

just saw this update Laughing

Seems like getting Balvin #26 was a great value pick according to Jay Bilas!

Finally done through #30. Thanks for tuning in.

Great read! Love your articles:)

Good work so far. You are very positive with the grades for most of these picks, but I'm sure you're just being nice.

Yeah, very good read.

Good work OP. Your reads are always entertaining.

Not that a Lin McLemore Parsons Love Cauley-Stein starting five is old or doesn't have upside by any means but could you imagine Rubio McLemore Saric Love FA C or late 1st RD C?

Standing pat could've done wonders for that Timberwolves team although I really like the McLemore Parsons Love combo I just really love the thought of Rubio and Saric, two pass first guys in an offense featuring Love and McLemore even better, maybe attempt to sign Bogut or Gortat and I absolutely love that team's projections.

No doubt. You might be right, but either way the Team will be great.
I believe minny will still try to get another Center. Cant be wrong to develope WCS behind a guy like Gortat/Bogut/whoever

by **Rizzo (NY)** Fri Mar 07, 2014 12:04 pm

I don't think taking a guy in the top-10 and playing him behind a guy that will see 32-35 minutes a game would be good for progression.

by orangeparka (MIA) Sat Mar 08, 2014 10:19 am

Hmmm, tough to say. I definitely don't like breaking down guys, so Rubio/McLemore/Love, plus a guy like Gortat or Bogut who they easily could've maxed and gotten...

It's hard to say until we see the final result and how MIN does this season though IMO.
