We
will pick 7 players each, snake draft style, with at least 3 guards and 2 post
players on each team. To determine the first pick, Paul picked a conference,
Jack picked a team, and I picked a random player and we each had 5 seconds to
guess their career points total. We came up with Western-Blazers-Luke Babbitt
and Paul won the rights to the first pick with an amazing guess of 310 (actual
total was 297). My mediocre at best guess of 3500 was good for second pick, and
Jack "Portland Soccer Mom" Peterson will be bringing up the rear with
a mind-numbingly poor guess of 6,789. Without further ado, Jack and Paul!
Paul: Alright
lets get it started! After an embarrassingly easy victory guessing the career
point total of Luke Babbitt (really Jack you guessed almost 7,000 points?), for
the first pick on any streetbal-style team, you want a player with a silky J,
wicked crossover move, good size, and a little bit of a mean streak. My
selection has checked all those boxes over the course of his 13-year career,
but despite scoring over 50 in a game for 3 different teams and leading the NBA
in all-time 4 point plays, has never been an all-star selection, with his
career highlights including a 6th man of the year award. Generally shoddy
defense non-withstanding (but really who plays D in intramurals), with the
first overall pick, I select Jamal
"J-Crossover" Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers.
