Board Draft

[Friendsofcoal]

With the third pick of the 2016 WCN draft FOC selects Dan Issel.

[Spiritof96]

This will be fun!

Agreed.

I was originally disappointed when it went from UK to NBA only; but as I have been thinking about who I would take and when. I'm really enjoying it. I am interested to see if my obvious no-brainier top 5 holds with what people think irrespective of order. So far so good with Davis and Cousins.

Dadgummitt, I knew I should have picked him first. I see a possible trade offer down the road.

It's my understanding we select UK players only. Right?

[Joneslab]

Yes, only UK.

[George]

Right. UK only.

[Spiritof96]

It's my understanding we select UK players only. Right?

Yes. This started as an NBA thing and morphed into a UK only thing since so few members care about the NBA. I like you pick BTW!

[KevinHall]

On to Plan B. My fist pick is off the board.

When I saw you were first I thought for sure you would go with Issell.

You don't pass up the schools all-time leading scorer when this is based on what the player "did" or "meant" to the program. Issel played 3 seasons at UK and only 27 games per season...imagine if he played 3 seasons at 38-40 games per!??? He deserves to be at the top IMO.

[Friendsofcoal]

In the 1960s. Different talent, different training, different game. We've had this debate before and will have it again when the draft ends, but there's no getting around the fact that changes to the game have to be considered.

We need a camera on "The Door", and by that I mean on the door of each gm' respective war room. I can just imagine LH coming out to announce his pick, having to set his snacks down, make his selection, and then briskly return to said snacks.

As an aside, he threw me off with his selection which obviously was NOT influenced by his history of refereeing. He picked the guy most likely to go Ron Artest. Just goes to show that this draft will be dramatic, climactic, and, possibly, cutthroat!

[teamchemistry15]

With the 4th pick I take Jamal Mashburn.

[KevinHall]

For the 5th pick of the 2016 WCN draft of former UK players I will take Kenny "Sky" Walker.

Downes Van Zandt is now on the clock.
