Sunday Follies...

I knew Arctic was going to take Kenneth Faried! Curse you Arctic. Many of you probably saw Benny's post about Arctic taking Faried and that it wrecked a potential blockbuster. That's right, it did. The Wack and Golden had been working on multiple packages involving Kevin Love and Blake Griffin and these all hinged on Faried being there for the Wack at #7 to be part of the deal. Kemba Walker, the #3 pick, would have been going to the Wack in the deal too. Oh well...thanks Arctic...you saved the JBL a monstrous deal :(

Chilliwack took Vesely at #7. Not a shocker here although I thought Benny might go with a Guard here since he already has 3 big men on his team.

Juan tried to pick up Ricky Rubio at #8. They must have missed the memo on that one. And besides, do you really think the other 7 JBL teams picking ahead of you wouldn't have picked him already?? Juan drafted Brandon Knight who I actually think has a chance to play a lot minutes right away in Detroit. After all, he's only behind Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon. I like this pick for Juan.

Who will Brussels take at #9?? I like a few guys here. This is where the potential of the player and the situation he lands in will dictate whether he's a player or a bust for this fantasy season. For example, Brussels could take Enes Kanter. He was the #3 NBA pick after all. Currently, Kanter sits behind Jefferson, Millsap, and Okur on the big man depth chart in Utah. It the Jazz make a trade then Kanter vaults up the ranks. Risk and reward.

David West chose the Pacers huh? They could actually be a decent squad in the East this season. West, Granger, Hibbert. Collison, Hill, and George...this Pacers team has potential.

Odom to Dallas? Wow. Didn't see that one coming. I guess LA had to move him after the failed Chris Paul trade. Dallas needed more size since they lost Chandler to NY. A front line with Marion, Dirk, and Odom will be tough for other teams to match up against for sure. And how will Brendan Haywood play this season?

Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan are very rich men...and I imagine that they will be staying put with the same teams. Memphis and LAC must be matching these deals. However, I think Chris Kaman will be on the move at some point.

We are one week away from the 21st JBL Draft....and I'm getting excited.
