After looking at the early ranking of the rookie class, I have to give props to EG for his overall pre-draft analysis. While the first few picks were no-brainers, he had targeted three players who were not in anyones top ten, but are now in the top ten.
Chalmers, Arthur, and Thompson. Well done, Evil!

Yeah, Evil did a helluva a job on that one.
However, I'll have to admit, we laughed at PHX when he said Rose was the steal of the draft.... he might be right. Rose has been fantastic (still has no jumper though).

How are you not buying into Rose yet? I never understood why y'all predicted him as a bust in the first place, but he's already shown that he isn't. The guy is the real deal. I just traded Kobe for him in my other league, I just wish it was a keeper league!

1. We said he would be a bust in comparison to Beasley. I believed, and still do believe, that Beasley should have been the Bulls pick. I don't remember saying Rose would be a bad player, just that he would not be on the level of Deron Williams and Chris Paul that so many people predicted.
2. While I think Kobe is severely overrated fantasy wise, you are crazy to trade him for Rose. Straight up insane. Especially since its not a keeper league.

I have been proclaiming how great Rose is ever since draft talk started. Everyone on here knows and has read how much I was excited about Rose. I mean, it was just so obvious that he was gonna be amazing on this Bulls team. Perfect pick and he's only gonna improve ! He is this team's hero !

I am not buying into Rose, because he is not the over-hyped "hero" people have been slobbering over.

Speaking of Derrick Rose.... I had this dream yesterday that he had 38 points, 38 rebounds, and 10 assists... and the Bulls still lost by 10. IT was weird.

I actually traded Kobe and Barbosa (who has been sucking except for one good game) for Rose and Tim Duncan. Everyone in my league was pissed at me, because it gave the guy I traded with both Kobe and LeBron, but my team has actually been performing waaaay better than it was before. It may be too early to judge it but so far I think I got a steal (thanks to Rose being awesome).

Oh, I figured there had to be someone else you got with Rose. Getting Duncan totally legitimizes that trade in my opinion. Duncan is going to have some beastly numbers for a few months with PArker and Manu out. Kobe is severely overrated in fantasy, as I have said before. I'd say you won that trade.

No doubt about it Crowny. Next door, I do an analysis of each Cavs home game, and Tues. he played well in short minutes. Definitely better than my pick of Joe Alexander which I wiffed on for sure after seeing them both.

yeah, I think Alexander may have helped Mbah Moute.
If Joe was able to play extended minutes without sucking, Luc Richard probably wouldnt get off the pine.

Exactly. Moute is getting all the minutes Alexander was expected to receive. I really am mad at myself for that pick. After seeing some of the players live, of the players I've seen that were drafted below Alexander, instead I would have taken:
Roy Hibbert Moute Rush
Actually, thats all of the players I've seen.
OOPS!
