Worst and Best picks in past FRSL drafts - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

shmip · 07-09-2012, 04:40 AM

well we had 4 drafts so lets take a view about some of the better picks and the ones the weren't so good..

Best

2013 Draft #9 pick - Dario Cosic.

The Lakers traded for a pick in the 2013 draft and considering what they got to get this pick the price for it was very low , the Lakers traded Goran Dragic for the 9th picks in the 2013 , GORAN DRAGIC for a 15 ppg player in just 21 min last season!..
Cosic (the best 6th best man last season and in strong contention to win it this year as well) is a fantastic shooter with great court vision , not the greatest defense player there is but he was one of the top 2 players (with Nerlens Noel) at the 2013 draft .. great pick for the Lakers.

2012 Draft #17 pick - Kendall Marshall.

At the night of the 2013 FRSL draft the FRSLInsider published that the Huskies had Narrowed their list to 2 players - Kendall Marshall and Nicola Mirotic.. when the Huskies pick came those 2 players were still around to pick and the Huskies used all their 5 minutes to make their decision .. Luckily for the Huskies franchise GM Porn Player did the right pick and took Kendall Marshall , a pure PG , low use on offense but one of the best passers in FRSL league..

2012 Draft #45 pick - Scott Machado.

The Sixers came to the 2012 draft with 1 spot to fill - their PG position.. I really dont know how the hell Machado fell to the 45 pick as he was the 2nd best PG at that draft.
The 76ers got a good PG , also like Marshall a low use on offense and nice ast/to ratio and they managed to extend his contract in a good price 22.5 million for 5 more years so his value should be very high in the league for a PG like him in a god contract.

2012 Draft #12 - Damian Lillard .

Very good pick by the Nuggets at the 2012 Draft.. Lillard is a great scorer a solid D player and also a Solid passer for the SG position , though he didn't get a chance to play at his first season as a rookie he did get it in the years after .. In the last 2 seasons he is scoring 45% behind the arc and 48% from the field .. it's crazy for a SG add to that 4.8 rebounds and almost 4 assists per game and you get yourself a great player..
I think the biggest lossers here were the Knicks by taking Jeremy Lamb at the 9th pick instead of Lillard.

2014(I) Draft #19 - Dario Saric .

After a lot of bad picks made by the Knicks , Dario Saric pick was one of the best that ever made in FRSL history.
Saric who can play as a SF or PF is a very unique player , kind of a very big PG .. that can run your offense from the SF/PF positions.. not the most talented player on offense but his % are quite good .. when you have a player that can make u a triple double in each can you know you have a star in your hands.. unfortunately for the knicks fans they didn't get the chance to see Saric with Knicks uniform as he was traded after the draft for Danilo Gallinari .

Worst

2012 Draft #9 pick - Jeremy Lamb .

Not that Lamb isnt a good player , cause he is .. but the fact that the Knicks really needed a SF coming to tht draft (they could have take Terrence Jones who was still available) and they allready had O.J Mayo as their SG ..
Also Lamb isn't a better player than Lillard , Fournier or even Dion Waiters so they could have picked a better SG than Lamb.
With just 37 career fg% and 31 3p% the Knicks could have done better .

2013 Draft #7 - Jeremy Hollowell.

The Pacers waisted their 7th pick in the 2013 FRSL Draft by picking Jeremy Hollowell.
After failing to impress the Pacers coaches i won't be surprised if Pacers won't cut Jeremy Hollowell at the end of this season .. they could have picked better players such as Alex Crauso,Rasheed Sulaimon or Gabriel Porta.

2014 (I) Draft #6 - Isaiah Hicks .

Not just Isaiah Hicks was Shocked when FRSL Commish Omer51 called his name as the 6th pick in the 2014 (I) FRSL draft , but also some other FRSL GMs.
Hicks who was projected as a mid 20 pick jumped to the 6th place... clearly the Knicks didn't scout here at all .. Missing better players such as LeBryan Nash ,Chris Walker ,Alex Oriakhi and even Alex Len who was the 26th pick.

2014 (II) Draft #9 - Jacky Biber .

The Thunder missed here with Jacky Biber , though he hasn't played yet reports are saying that the Thunder stuff and Thunder GM Dornado weren't to happy with what they saw till now , " he really needs to improve his shot and D if he wants to play in this league ".. - comment from one of the Thunder coaching stuff.
To bad for the Thunder Fans cause a player like Ben Depoe or Miklas Magnussen would have fit great next to a player like Shabazz Muhammad ..

2014 (II) Draft #7 - Hubert Sampson .

Another case of bad scouting i guess.. Hubert Sampson is a very solid player but he will need to improve his D if he wants to play more.. i guess the Bullets didnt want to gamble on an International player such as Lucas "Bebe" Nogueira or Alex Paspalj .
But Sampson is still young .. maybe he will improve ..

** all of the players can improve or the opposite.. its just shows you how much it is to scout before you make your picks , and scout the right ratings for each position..share your thoughts on other good picks .. or bad ones..

nice read =p

Chadtor · 07-09-2012, 07:11 AM

Looking like Linos should be on this list also....has the skill set of a #1 or #2 pick but slipped to #8 this year

shmip · 07-09-2012, 07:37 AM

Yep...

Roturn · 07-09-2012, 08:29 AM

Nice read. And well, maybe.

At least my 15th pick with Timor was much better and Noel was also good. (Well, as #1 pick)
And Harrison is great, Hairston not bad as well.

So in general I had 3 solid drafts here. Sampson of course was a bad pick, who still gives me some double-doubles.

omer51 · 07-09-2012, 08:48 AM

Hersey Pick is one of my fav.

**Dornado** · 07-09-2012, 08:50 AM

Jacky Biber will never see the floor for me... it is like I just picked Joe Alexander in the first round. Ha, what a wasted opportunity.

At least I didn't pick him on purpose necessarily, so I don't feel too sad. Just a stupid list that had everyone with a B draft grade on it...

Nice write up.

**Dornado** · 07-09-2012, 08:52 AM

Also, we fired our entire scouting staff after the Biber debacle.

**BlakeJesus** · 07-09-2012, 08:55 AM

Love for Saric!

omer51 · 07-09-2012, 09:02 AM

Saric is amazing.

I know. That`s why I mentioned Timor or Harrison as well.
The guys in the list definitely belong there more than Noel.

Agreed, he's a stud.

**El Shaqtus** · 07-15-2012, 11:26 AM

I think you missed a couple of really bad ones:

CJ McCollum at 7 was a 20 pick reach in a loaded draft, and Austin Rivers will never be a starter after going 15th. McCollum might be top 3 worst picks.
