With the 26th pick in the 2021 D5 draft, the Orlando Magic select Miles 'Deuce' McBride from WVU.

Jay Z otc

Nice, great pick. He was one of two main guys I was considering at the 30th pick.

[Steve Nash]

Thanks Alex English! I feel like we often see eye to eye on drafting. I liked your Bones and Springer picks. They were 2 guys I was hoping would be around when I selected.

[Alex English]

6 hours to go for Jay Z

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

Jared's pick is now on the clock.

[Amare Stoudemire]

Pending trade with Atlanta Hawks

With the 27th pick the Sacramento Kings Draft

Just in case trade falls through, Kispert at 27 is fine if I happen to keep this pick or it moves in the trade.

[James Kay]

Ian has informed me that upon acceptance of this deal I can draft on his behalf. So, without further ado:

With the 29th pick in the 2021 Dynasty Five Draft the Boston Celtics select

G League Ignite

With the 30th pick in the 2021 draft the Denver Nuggets select:

Thanks Alex. My trade with BOS and CHA is worth it. 

[James Kay]

With the 31st pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets select:

Cameron Thomas, LSU

---

Entered the draft with the 23rd pick, with 4-5 players in mind. Thomas was the 2nd player on that list so I’m happy to leave the draft with him, as well as my 2024 2nd, BKN 2023 2nd, and without Jevon Carter’s $3M on in the season when I need to re-sign Harden.

[James Kay]

Arvydas Sabonis

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

I think, we need to decide the pick now for Phoenix.

Seriously guys, there is a good chance that the pick of Jared is suddenly be #35 in terms of sequence if we are not going to pick for him now. 

I vote for the highest drafted guy IRL that is still available.

I agree he should've probably just been given the highest available guy at the time, which would've been Josh Christopher, who is still available. We absolutely shouldn't go beyond the next 2 picks though, and then let him decide 28 and 34 at the same time.

[Arvydas Sabonis]

With 32nd pick the New York Knicks will select Josh Christopher out of Arizona State.

[George Gervin]

Walt Frazier OTC, then Jared Montini has two picks (#28 and #34) 

[George Gervin]

Both Jared Montini and Walt Frazier are OTC— Jared for picks 28 and 34, Walt for pick 33

[Josh Barber]

I think Ian Noble is supposed to create set time slots for the 2nd round, not sure anyone is actually on the clock yet

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

I vote Quentin Grimes and Aldama for Phoenix.

[Arvydas Sabonis]

The first round has gone pretty quickly. If it's expected that Jared comes online normally on Saturdays, maybe start with the drafting slots on Sunday, so he has better chance to come make his own pick. If he won't be online until Sunday then Ian can pick two.

One extra day between rounds should not matter to anyone at this moment.

[Ian Noble]

Based on the 2nd Round timings, which I'm now drawing up, it's Phoenix's turn to pick.

I'm selecting Quentin Grimes at 28.

And Santi Aldama at 34.

[Ian Noble]

Timings added to 2nd Round picks

[Arvydas Sabonis]

With the 35th pick the New York Knicks will select JT Thor from Auburn University

[Brian Scalabrine]

With the 36th pick in the 2021 D5 Draft the New Orleans Pelicans select Sharife Cooper from Auburn

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

Is the time EST?


I may need some time to make my pick as my targets were just ripped by the last two guys.

[Walt Frazier]

Hm, hate to sound whiny, but here I go - #34 was picked before I ever had a chance to pick #33 (as in, I don't think I was even OTC before pick 34 was made? Or my time wasn't up yet at least)... and we theoretically should give Jared's slot the 6 hours before the pick is made, then I would've logged on in time to make my pick which would've been Sharife most likely.

But, whatever. Just, kind of annoyed. I'm probably over it already but not sure why 34 was made before my time slot at 33 was even up?

FWIW you're not being whiny. Seems like they just forgot about you and skipped over your pick

You were forgotten. I think, you have all the right to still pick Sharife. 

[Walt Frazier]

Well, I just assume I'm missing something. If possible, I would select Sharife Cooper. But, assuming I can't, I pick-

With pick 33, the Minnesota Timberwolves select Greg Brown, Forward from the University of Texas
