CRFC Mock Draft

With the A1 season officially upon us once again (with absolutely no down time) what better way to preview the season than to prep a mock draft to get ready for the real thing tonight. Sure I could have posted this on the message boards, but not everyone has access to those. So deal with it, I needed an entry for today. And yes, I'm aware that this is a mock draft for a rec league, I'm not f'in crazy, yet. Feel free to leave comments below to let me know how much I suck (or how much it's going to suck being stuck with Serge).

#1 Serge - DGall - As soon as the General gets it in his head that someone wants to play on his squad, he will draft/sign them up for his teams until they forcefully quit. Serge's targets have been sent on DGall for the past couple seasons, and it looks like he's going to get another run in with Serge. Let's see if Serge can draft him a team that will win more than a few games this season (doubtful!)

#2 Mike D - KO - This season brings us a couple of new captains, and none more famous than Mike D himself. It's going to be great to be drafted by this guy, as he'll always be sure to pick up the tab from the 9s afterward. What? You win to know if he'll draft a decent team? I have no idea that he knows anyone but KO and JaySar, so I doubt it.

#3 Rattling AK - The Hitman - This one is actually a toss up between the Hitman and the Reihl Deihl. He could go either way, but since he's already sent out the feeler emails to give Jrod the heads up, I think he's going in this direction. Other than the fact that he's decided to name his team Sofa King (What! Huh!?) I've got nothing funny to say. But the headlines are going to be priceless. The Hitman, Sofa King, good as he leads his team to victory

#4 The Young Republican - The Reihl Deihl - With GP out of the league for a season (baby) expect tYR to bring in his old Little Nasty teammate to the fold. It's been a few seasons for tYR without GP, so it make take him a little time to adjust to the idea of a season without him. But in Deihl, he's got a guy that can do it all if he feels like showing up this season. Sure he's had valid excuses last season, but really, who cares? Where are your priorities man!?

#5 Cheese - The Big Ticket - This is the first pick I'm not fairly certain of, and as a result it could screw up the rest of my draft board. But I think that his spot with the rest of the guys in the draft, that the former MVP is a great pick. Cheese always seems to draft character guys that play team ball, and it doesn't get any better than the Big Ticket at this spot.


#6 RoY - E Fizzle - You were thinking that the smallest guy in the draft was going to go big? Well think again. RoY is our other new captain this season, and it looks like he's going to learn the hard way that size does matter, even on the small court. But you can't really blame him for this decision too much (unless you're EF himself) as these two will make the most dynamic backcourt in the league. Told of his impending draft status at #6, E Fizzle only had this response.

#7 TiCal - Salazar - Those coaches really like to stick together, so unless Tical has a ringer hiding in the wings that I don't know about (likely) he'll would do well to escape the first round with such a steal. O'Cal is another guard that has to choose between going big in the first round or getting the best player available. Thankfully for him and RoY there are a number of high quality bigs that will still be available when they pick in the second round. Salazar may be another guy with attendance problems in the past, but if TiCal can motivate him to show up on a weekly basis he's got the foundation of a winner.

#8 Tibbs - ? - Like I was going to announce my pick. Yours truly has a couple things up his sleeve, most notably a potential trade that would get me the hell out of the first round. Do I go size or guard? I think it will be safer if I trade down and let a couple other guys go off the board to make my life a whole lot easier. Note to Danny Ainge: If the C's somehow fall out of the top two picks this season, feel free to shoot me an email and I can further explain the benefits of this strategy.

Ed Note: JaySar and Statey Steve had to go and sign up last minute. Thanks for f'in up my first round fellas!
