2012 DBR Mock Draft

[JasonEvans]

We've done it before... time to do it again.

Here are the rules:

Post in this thread with the name of the team you want to "GM." No trading of picks or players is allowed. Once the mock draft starts, you will be expected to make your pick in a timely fashion. That means you have 6 hours to make a pick between the hours of 8am and 8pm ET (5am and 5pm PT). The clock will stop outside of those hours. On weekends, the clock time is doubled to 12 hours. You are obviously encouraged to pick faster than that, but if you fail to make your pick in your clock window, I will make it for you... and you don't want that!

DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE AND LAZY WITH YOUR PICKS!! Am I clear about that? If you keep us waiting and cause this process to lock up, I will heap as much negative rep upon you as I can

Our mock draft will start this coming Thursday, June 14th. That gives us 2 weeks to get it done before the NBA does the real thing on Thu June 28th.

For the next 3 days the first poster to claim a team will get that team. If we have not filled up the roster of GMs by Tuesday night, I will open it up to allow folks to claim a 2nd or even 3rd team to GM... but I hope we will not have to do that. For now, sign up for one team. It should be a team you know fairly well so you can comment on the pick and why you made it as well as explain how it fits into your team's roster and future plans. We will pick both the first and second rounds of the draft (I hope).

--Jason "start claiming those GM jobs now!!" Evans

[JasonEvans]

I will be GM of the Atlanta Hawks... as I always am.

-Jason "and I refuse to pick anyone with the last name of Williams for the Hawks... just too gun shy at this point" Evans

[Newton_14]

I am in and I got Charlotte...

[throatybeard]

I'll GM the Saint Louis franchise.

[MulletMan]

Alright, I am in and taking the Cavs.

[CDu]

Alright, I am in and taking the Cavs.

Me Bulls please.

[pfrduke]

I'll take the Blazers. Jason's first post has been updated with teams taken to date.

[BD80]

I take the piStones. God help me, I hope to draft John Henson. Please somebody take Andre Drummond, so I don't have to explain to the press why I passed over a kid with all-star potential

[JasonEvans]

I'll GM the Saint Louis franchise.

Awww, c'mon Throaty! Take someone real. We need your input into this little game.

-Jason "Blazers and Cavs, with 4 picks each, were the best teams to GM" Evans

[NSDukeFan]

I might as well take the team from my country and I can go with the best available player for the Raptors as they are a ways from being a contender. (I just looked at the standings to see that they did finish ahead of the Kyries and the Derons this year. Interesting.)

[JBDuke]

I'll take the Wizards. Everyone made fun of me when I took Marc Gasol for the Wiz a few years back, but I consider his performance since joining the league as a great "up yours" to the mockers.

I expect to make an equally perspicacious pick this year.

[FerryFor50]

I'll take the warriors

[dcdevil2009]

I'll take the Hornets if they're still available. As an aside, can we trade draft picks (assuming they clear ESPN's trade machine of course)?

[FireOgilvie]

I will take the Nuggets, please!

[pfrduke]

As an aside, can we trade draft picks (assuming they clear ESPN's trade machine of course)?

Here are the rules:

I will take the Sacramento Kings.

[tommy]

I'll take the Rockets. 2 first round picks.

I'll take the Orlando Magic!
