Well, here it is, Thursday night, a rainy horrible night and we're almost half way through our 2nd Annual JBL Rookie Draft. To recap, Anthony Davis went #1; Damian Lillard #2, MKG #3; Bradley Beal at #4 and today Golden selected Dion Waiters at #5. Or did I?
For the likely 3-4 people who see this blog - I'll break the secret right here - Golden made this selection for another team. Wednesday night, very late, Golden traded down in this rookie draft and made the Waiters selection for another JBL owner. The hope is that I can still land my targeted player at a cheaper salary. Not that $7 bucks was going to break the bank or anything - but if you can save a few bucks - why not right? We'll announce my trade partner on the JBL site soon (probably tomorrow). And hopefully MBB remembers to make his pick on time (remember last year when we had to wait an extra day for his #2 selection). Come on Bobby, don't let me down.
I have to say that Rookie draft has gone just as I expected so far...no real surprises. I was hoping that Beal would slip past Arctic but no such luck.
Speaking of Arctic, he informs me that he has his son's birthday party at 2pm on Saturday (27th) so he's hoping we can start on time (1pm) or maybe even a little bit earlier on Auction Day. We'll certainly do our best to start a little early if we can. Crikker will be going to auto-pilot for the rest of his draft so he'll hopefully be able to land a few players before he has to leave.
I'm looking forward to the Auction this year again. It really is the best day of the year. Even better than Christmas! Now, back to my Rookie and Auction preparation...good night all.
