Devin Harris, PG, $7,800,000(I believe this isn't updated with his extension, I'll do some digging later)

you can't ignore what he's done this year and he's very young.

Will be an absolute stud, the only sure star in the draft this year. Will provide a huge boost for my second unit

[Chucky]

This guy is still a franchise player and to get him this late is very surprising

[Paul]

Rajon Rondo - $1,646,784
http://www.nba.com/media/celtics/rondo_parquet_dish_knicks500.jpg

Not my first choice to have as my PG, but at his price he should be competent enough to hold the position down for now. May grab another PG later if money permits.

[Rob S]

Kevin Martin SG


http://www.all-nba-all-basketball.com/images/KEVIN_MARTIN1.jpg


A very underrated basketball player

[Chucky]

I select


Ramon Sessions PG


I really wanted Al Thornton. Weak.

I guess I will go with a very cheap and very effective young PG. Will be able to run the second unit effectively

[Paul]

Jason Maxiell - $1,877,572

http://www.nypost.com/seven/06302008/photos/lopez630.jpg
$5,749,060 Remaining

[iBoldin]

C Hasheem Thabeet, Conneticut. A raw athlete with immense physical potential. He can be very explosive with the correct coaching, and his lanky length makes him a defensive gem. I almost went with Earl Clark, but I like Thabeet's potential.

http://www.hasheemthabeetonline.org/images/hasheem-thabeet-pictures%20(12).jpg

[scottyboy]

Josh Boone, PF/C, $1,212,120

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/10/02/amd_boone.jpg

Not exactly a favorite of mine, but was playing very well before his injury. Very tough inside and great rebounder

[scottyboy]

Chris Duhon, PG New York Knicks
$5,585,000

http://www.nbaobsessed.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/chris-duhon-passing_nc.jpg

He was part of my plan when I took Rubio. Underrated PG, he's been around the top 5 in the league for Asst/TO ratio the past couple years. This year he's getting 8.5 assists per game. And he's only 26. He should be able to run the team for a couple years while Rubio develops.
