2012 Rookie Draft[/i]
Welcome to the 2012 Dynasty Five Rookie Draft! Please read the Rules & Info below. The draft will begin as soon as Milwaukee Bucks GM, Glenn Robinson, makes his choice. Good luck everyone! May all your picks fulfil their potential!


Rules & Info:

Pick from the list of Available Rookies.

Top 5 picks have 2 days to make their pick. First Round picks have 12 hours to be picked. Second Round picks have 6 hours.

Submit draft boards to Ian Noble if you're worried about missing your pick.

If you miss your pick, a random pick will be made for you at least 5 spots further down from where your team is picking. You may change the player that was picked for you at a later time in the draft, but only if the player you'd rather pick has not been taken by other teams.

You may draft undrafted rookies from 2012, but if they are not included in the NBA-Live.com update, they will be counted as voided picks. If those players do eventually appear in a NBA-Live.com update then the drafting team will own their rights.

bump

[Ian Noble]

FYI - Glenn Robinson has until midnight on Tuesday to make a trade or select Anthony Davis a player.

[Glenn Robinson]

With the 1st overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks select:

Anthony Davis, Kentucky, Center/Power Forward

[Alex English]

Who would have guessed?

Do I get double clock?

This is not a good sign. I was hoping we'd get down to my pick today.

I will use most of my time. I wasn't expecting to pick anytime soon, and I may want to deal. In fact, check your PM!

[Ian Noble]

Top 5 picks have 2 days to make their pick.

Sacramento has until Tuesday to make his first pick. Until Thursday to make his second pick.

[Deleted]

To be honest, I had no idea who I was going to take before I did it. However, after watching TONS of youtube videos, reading, talking to people, and doing my homework, I am ready to make a selection. With the 2nd pick in the 2012 D5 Draft, the Sacramento Kings select....Damian Lillard, PG, Weber State.

PS. I never thought I would draft a player from Weber State.

[Alex English]

Great pick imo. If he didn't have the small school label I think he could have gone 2nd in real life too.

[Lucas Lutkus]

good choice

[Walt Frazier]

Lillard is the guy I would've gone with @ 2 as well, so can't fault that. A lot of talent, ya gotta make a choice somewhere!

[Otis Smith]

Damian Lillard looks to be a stud and the kings need someone who could space the floor.

[Walt Frazier]

And IMO, Kings doesn't have a real starting NBA PG on his team. Now, he does. Makes his team much more rounded. SF could be a weakness, but if he doesn't trade the pick, he's got Barnes and MKG sitting there to take, so voila.

[Ian Noble]

Sacramento is on the clock until Thursday midnight GMT. Basically if he hasn't picked by Friday morning when I get to work I'll use his draft board

[Otis Smith]

Not sure If I can make this pick since the trade hasn't moved into the accepted trades but I got three accepts so I will go ahead and pick.

The Houston (soviet) Rockets proudly announce that we draft Bradley Beal from Florida.



Bradley Beal is probably the most complete player in this draft with his defence (both on and off-ball defence), shooting, and slashing ability. He has a chance to be a elite rebounder at his position, he was 5th in rebounds pre 40 in the NCAA, and will can defend both PGs and SGs.

Even though he only shot 33% from 3 in college during the regular season when the playoffs started it rose to 40+ % and he is stroke is getting compared to Ray Allen. He also is great in transition and good finisher at his height.

His problems that he will encounter is that he is below-average for both height and length, this will hurt him when SGs are just as strong. Also he needs to work on his combo guard skills (i.e. creating his own shot and being a primary ball handler at times). He is also only 18 and will have somewhat of a steep learning curve but his ability to shoot and defend will fit in perfectly with my team



So Communist Party of America and the Houston Rockets proudly welcome Bradley Beal as our new comrade.

[Alex English]

I can't wait for the 12 hour time limit.

[Ian Noble]

If Cleveland has not picked by the time I wake up tomorrow and check then I will be picking for him.

[Dan Gilbert]

I'll be making my pick here shortly. Calm down people. Gotta see what options you have

No joke, these people think that drafting is like voting on a health care bill!

[Walt Frazier]

Or, you knew you had this pick days and days ago, maybe start your research then? Don't wait until you go OTC? Just a suggestion for the rest of this draft, have a plan! Have more than one option!

[Dan Gilbert]

I have done research. You gotta wait on offers. I know who I'm gonna draft. If I get 48 hours for this pick I'm not rushing it.

I didn't know the draft was going to start NOW! I mean in real life the lottery and draft are months apart so teams have time to research WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PICK!

[Dan Gilbert]

With the fourth pick of the 2012 D5 Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select - Harrison Barnes, Small Forward out of the University of North Carolina!

[Ian Noble]

Barnes to the Cavs!

Lucas Lutkus on the clock!

[Walt Frazier]

Love Barnes! Nice pick!

Lucas, trade me your pick if you don't want it?

[Walt Frazier]

Actually, Barnes to the Kings!

[Lucas Lutkus]

I already have my pick in mind, i'm not going to trade or anything, i will just make a long post about it so i'm posting it in an hour or so haha

[Lucas Lutkus]

With the 5th pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select: THOMAS ROBINSON


Kemba Walker, Bismack Biyombo and now Thomas Robinson.
Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan are starting to build something for the future here... With the expirings of Randy Foye and Kenyon Martin, the Charlotte Bobcats need a Shooting Guard and Power Forward for next seasons and even with Kenyon Martin playing some of the best games of his career as a Bobcat, bulding a front court with Biyombo and Robinson was the right thing to do.
Of course we also had a look on Michael Kidd-Gilchrist who we believe is going to be an all-star in NBA, but Thomas Robinson just fits so perfectly our team right now...
An extremely effective player, Thomas Robinson is explosive, big, lenghty, strong, quick and agressive, he's excellent offense for a rookie and is a great defender. Dennis Rodman asked Jordan to choose him because D-Rod sees in Robinson a normal version of his old self.
A press conference with Thomas Robinson, Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan and Lucas Lutkus is going to be held soon on D5 Media Center.
