COMLA Draft - Brief Analysis


Thanks to Fantasy Gods, there is actually an internet in the jungle where I stayed at. There is a very slow wifi in the lobby. I repeat VERY SLOW. Take 1 hour to download all my email, but still good enough for blogging.

Comla draft was done on 25th October in probably one of the worst traffic day in Jakarta. Many managers decided to draft in the near by location, some even have use "joki" to draft player. Wandy was having computer problem, which was very strange because a week before that he could draft in ALMOC (thus explained his draft selection since he was using autodraft). He believed he was cursed in COMLA, seem very convincing at this point.

Most analysis were based on thoughts of the discussion in the BB group and myself
Round 1
1. Kevin Durant (OKC - SF) Shazaam
2. LeBron James (Mia - SF) GeNNoSuKe
3. Chris Paul (NO - PG) Matoa
4. Dwight Howard (Orl - C) iWinner
5. Steve Nash (Pho - PG) ConCarne
6. Jason Kidd (Dal - PG) The Senior's...
7. Pau Gasol (LAL - PF,C) SuperDuck
8. Deron Williams (Uta - PG) Gepeng
9. Stephen Curry (GS - PG) Gunners
10. Kobe Bryant (LAL - SG) Curse Breaker
11. Josh Smith (Atl - PF) a d a w n
12. Dwyane Wade (Mia - PG,SG) Archaeonz Su...

R1 analysis:
Surprise pick Nash at 5th and Kidd at 6th. While the reason for nash pick was the infamous misclick (Which I believed Edu is still getting nightmare), the reason behind kidd pick was still.... a mystery.
Others: Wade at 12th, Nick pulled a jackpot here, getting Wade at 12th.

Round 2
1. Danny Granger (Ind - SF,PF) Archaeonz Su...
2. Gerald Wallace (Cha - SF,PF) a d a w n
3. Dirk Nowitzki (Dal - PF) Curse Breaker
4. Carmelo Anthony (Den - SF) Gunners
5. Amar'e Stoudemire (NY - PF,C) Gepeng
6. Rajon Rondo (Bos - PG) SuperDuck
7. David Lee (GS - PF,C) The Senior's...
8. Brook Lopez (NJ - C) ConCarne
9. Andre Iguodala (Phi - SG,SF) iWinner
10. Chauncey Billups (Den - PG) Matoa
11. Tyreke Evans (Sac - PG,SG) GeNNoSuKe
12. Joakim Noah (Chi - PF,C) Shazaam

R2 analysis:
Surprise pick: Noah at 24th. I think Lung2 made a good decision drafting a PF/C and PG (later on the 3rd round), since he already have Durant as SF. It's interesting though he choose Noah, over Bosh, Love and Jefferson and many other PF/C 
Others: Dirk at 14th, I won't call it a steal, but most league Dirk would have been gone in 1st round.

Round 3
1. Russell Westbrook (OKC - PG) Shazaam
2. Kevin Love (Min - PF,C) GeNNoSuKe
3. Monta Ellis (GS - PG,SG) Matoa
4. Joe Johnson (Atl - SG,SF) iWinner
5. Al Jefferson (Uta - PF,C) ConCarne
6. Tim Duncan (SA - PF,C) The Senior's...
7. Derrick Rose (Chi - PG) SuperDuck
8. Brandon Roy (Por - SG,SF) Gepeng
9. Chris Bosh (Mia - PF,C) Gunners
10. Marcus Camby (Por - PF,C) Curse Breaker
11. Blake Griffin (LAC - PF) a d a w n
12. Al Horford (Atl - PF,C) Archaeonz Su...

R3 analysis:
Surprise pick Camby at 34th pick, While it's no doubt Camby can produce a 2nd round value, can he maintain over the season? Will Oden get better and reduce Camby play time? Only time will tell
Griffin at 35th, Big hype on the rookie, did well in preseason, Seem to make many believe in him and adawn was certainly one of them.
Others: Rose getting drafted after evans and westbrook?

Round 4
1. Andrea Bargnani (Tor - PF,C) Archaeonz Su...
2. Roy Hibbert (Ind - C) a d a w n
3. Zach Randolph (Mem - PF,C) Curse Breaker
4. Stephen Jackson (Cha - SG,SF) Gunners
5. David West (NO - PF) Gepeng
6. Andray Blatche (Was - PF,C) SuperDuck
7. Troy Murphy (NJ - PF,C) The Senior's...
8. Carlos Boozer (Chi - PF,C) ConCarne
9. Andrew Bogut (Mil - C) iWinner
10. Paul Pierce (Bos - SG,SF) Matoa
11. Marc Gasol (Mem - C) GeNNoSuKe
12. John Wall (Was - PG) Shazaam

R4 analysis:
Surprise pick Hibbert at 38th. Monstrous performance in pre-season. Adawn really a big believer in Pre-Season. 
Others: Blatche was the first player getting drafted out of Washington, interesting. Wall at 48th pick seem to be a good investment

Coming up soon on: R5-R8 analysis. Volunteer analyzer needed.
