Play D-League Virtual Scout; Win Prizes?

by Scott Schroeder on Dec 22, 2009 2:46 AM EST in Ridiculous-osity

(Disclaimer: This post is mostly made to show that I picked Anthony Tolliver last time around. Really hope I win a prize!)

Here's my Fantasy team from the first installment (December 4th). I'm an awesome scout!

Carlos Powell F Albuquerque Thunderbirds
Romel Beck F Dakota Wizards
Anthony Tolliver F Idaho Stampede
Antonio Anderson G Rio Grande Valley Vipers
Rob Kurz F Fort Wayne Mad Ants

Ok, so you're not really scouting, just picking five names and hoping for a call-up, but still, the second installment is underway and apparently you can win prizes if one of your picks gets called-up.

Since I'm the expert, here are my picks (in random order):

Cedric Simmons F Idaho Stampede
Dontell Jefferson G Utah Flash
Romel Beck F Dakota Wizards
Mike Harris F Rio Grande Valley Vipers
Antonio Anderson G Rio Grande Valley Vipers

Also, if you think your picks are better than mine, post them in the comments and I'll carefully destruct them.

Also, looking at that team of ballaz, it seems like it could double as an entrant into G-Martz's D-League All-Star game (You're welcome Garrett, now please send me my Kibwe Trim card back as payment for plugging your blog).

Poll

Will I continue my streak? aka, Will one of these guys get called-up?

Yeah, you're a genius.

No, but you're still a genius.

You're right! This isn't virtual scouting! You are a genius!

Why isn’t there a voting option about how my picks are better than yours?

Ridiculous Upside, where developing talent and winning are not mutually exclusive.

Mostly

Cuz Barron sucks.

I don't think he should get called up or anything

but teams know the name.

But don’t worry, I’ll totally invite you to come along when I win the trip to the all-star game.

Please do

Also, isn’t it in Dallas? You should go anyway and hold up an “EARL BARRON 4 PREZ” sign.

Barron sucks, but you have Cedric Simmons your list? LOL

Ugh

Donnell Taylor?

by Scott Schroeder on Dec 22, 2009 3:05 AM EST up reply actions

He was in training camp with the Blazers and played for strong teams in Europe, so I figured he must have some chance. Admittedly it was a long shot.

Carlos Powell F Albuquerque Thunderbirds
Desmon Farmer G Reno Bighorns

Scott

I prefer my Sniffy card to the Kibwe Trim card anyways. Send me an email with your address and I’ll send you a nice Christmas Card.

Dontell Jefferson
Romel Beck
Michael Harris
Dwayne Jones
…and……

BAM!

Reggie Williams. I loved him at VMI, once he gets back from food poisoning or whatever they gave him to sabotage my virtual scouting rep, he’ll get people’s attention. Kid can flat out score.

That being said, still hoping for a G-Mac comeback, BBPFSPAOAT. If you’re wondering what that catchy little acronym means, I suppose I’ll tell you, although I think it’s pretty obvious. Best Basketball Player From Scranton PA Of All Time. Duh.

I like this

Also, Reggie Williams’s been day-to-day with a groin injury for over a week now. It’s too bad, because kid can play.

About G-Mac, can’t he just be replaced with Eric Devendorf? They’re essentially the same person, IMHO.

by Scott Schroeder on Dec 22, 2009 1:24 PM EST up reply actions

Erik Devendorf is the antichrist. That is the last time I will mention him. Gerry McNamara is a saint. A SAINT!

by Michael Levin on Dec 22, 2009 4:27 PM EST up reply actions

Don't worry

Far as I can tell, GMac’s on the Jonathan Bender career path. Your Sixers will probably sign him in three years to take the place of Willie Green. That should be nice.
