Damn! Stolen right out from under my claws!

Wow, I almost feel obligated to dig around and look at centers...

Adam -- yep, the offer's not going anywhere. Check your PMs.

Yep, though the only center pick so far I would not have made is Shaq. Good stats but you know he'l spend some time sitting with injuries and his FT% will kill you. Yao Ming might be stretching a little but he's a top center with no real weaknesses.

Cool, and check you own.

The Center position should be reduced to only having to field one of for a team.
The scarcity of Centers makes that position disproportionally difficult to be productive in.
Factor in how few teams in the NBA actually have a player that resembles a classic Center, and it's even worse. Many times they just get their tallest player (6' 10" ish) to man the spot, with little abilities to do anything there.
It's not like the NBA "goes through the big man" anymore...

Now that Shaq has his own team, rather than sharing a team with 3 other all stars, I think you are wrong. Indeed, given that reports put Shaq in the best shape of his NBA career, having lost a lot of weight and put on a huge amount of muscle (and given that he now has something to prove), I think shaq was a wise choice. I considered him, and only went with Dirk just barely.

Oh I agree totally, I was rather hoping to see him go where yahoo said he was suppose to go... (12 overall) Trust me he wasn't getting out of the first round undrafted.

Shaq's FT's still suck, but oh, I think is going to have one monster of a season. There's no Kobe on the roster, and there's nobody in the entire eastern conference that can guard him. I think he'll average 30 pts, 14 rebs, & 3 blocks, with 60% FGs.

I'm curious.. How bad where my picks?

I thought your picks were perfectly fine.
