Rupp Rafters UK Basketball Draft (Complete)
- Thread starter DraftCat
- Start date
Looking at the rosters after 6 rounds, currently I like #4 the best. But several are close, so that could change.
I’ll take probably the best rebounding guard to ever play here. Give me Frank Ramsey.
Seriously though, I feel like every person has done an incredible job of building their rosters. It is going to be really interesting to see how people shape their bench and the role players they choose.

And the Lord will smite you with a great fury if you take my guy…
Well if we look at how he is drafting, I can guarantee it’s going to be one of 3 players from a particular era…. I also expect all 3 of those guys to be gone before it gets back to me, sadly.

That’s not who I wanted fortunately, so your smiting doth be reserved for now. That’s a great pick though. I knew he’d be going soon.
I’m taking Nick Richards. I loved my pick of Oscar Tshiebwe earlier. And while I don’t agree with the sentiment that I saw from some on this board that you can’t win a championship with him as your big man, I do still want a center who can provide what he lacks and Nick is exactly that. I love my balance down low.
@chroix make me proud!
One of my favorite point guards ever. Cliff Hawkins.
It’s pretty insane that you could field four or five teams with no overlap that could legit make an argument for it.
Kevin Knox. @Fox2monk OTC. The
I almost took him. Alas, I couldn't pass on Herro as my 7th man. I want a team that can score 95 points per game each night in a 40-minute contest. I think I have it.
I’ll take Joe Crawford. I’m shocked I nabbed him this late.

This one’s easy. Give me Eric Bledsoe. @RunninRichie you are up, my friend.
I went back & forth on him & Knox for 20 minutes. Only took Knox bc I already have 3 similar players to JC & I didn’t have anyone like Knox yet. And, Knox would be a nice fit as a small ball 4 on this team, too. But, I was shocked that JC was still there, too. Good pick man.
Thank you for that!
Yeah I was super worried you or @choirx would steal him right before my pick again. Been happening all draft to me.
Don’t even think about taking who I am thinking of again either. You got Gerald Fitch when I wanted him too! He’s like my 3rd favorite player ever here.
Knox would make my all Charmin squad but that’s about it. Crawford gets an E for effort but kid never progressed the way I’d hoped he would. Feels like he hit his ceiling early and often.
@RunninRichie one of these rounds your actually going to pick someone I want lol...
With my two picks.. drum roll please....
Round 7 - Ed Davender
Round 8 - Bill Spivey
I'm biased but I couldn't be more happy with these two guys this late in the draft.

He was. I think I’m critical of him when really he was just under too much pressure to carry the load and could have used some other pieces around him to help more.
The trash talking has began. I like.
******************************************************
I glanced at the teams and made quick notes of what I think are the biggest weakness of each team. Let's see how they're addressed. Plenty of quality players left to do so.
Huh. I could have sworn Teague had been taken. Good pick. I was foolishly hoping Liggins would slip to me
Drafting this next player in the perfect role for him. I truly believe we would have went 40-0 had he not gone down to injury when he did. Our defense was GOAT level before that and never the same after. Give me Alex Poythress.

@Fox2monk OTC
Anybody else start getting really antsy and impatient about 3-4 picks before yours?
I’ll take the man, the legend himself. One of the best basketball minds ever and quite the player.
Pat Riley.
Pat Riley.
@DraftCat just took him.
I’ll take a guy who scored 1600 points at Kentucky. Ed Davender. The only Wildcat with 1500 points and 400 assists.
I know I just seen that bastard sniped me again. You are on the clock @JHannibalSmith .
YOU WEASLEY, BUCK-TOOTHED, BOW-LEGGED, CHICKEN SUIT-WEARING, TURKEY NECKED, PIMPLE SQUEEZING, SON OF A MOTHERLESS GOAT!!
That’s a lie. I’ve never once worn a chicken suit. No comment on the other accusations.
Dangit man, I had thought about him last round and had no delusions that he would make it back to me again. But then pick after pick came and went without him being taken, and my hopes started to grow. But there you went and snagged him two picks before me.
Can’t blame you though. 3 time all-SEC and Kentucky’s career assist leader. Crazy value this late in the draft!
