Draft the Analytical Way (Mode B)

How Calculated: Using mode, as defined in the previous entry, I am going with the consensus selections. If a player is slotted into a certain spot by 4 or more people than I locked him in that spot. In the second half of 1st round if a player was given 3 selections at a given spot they were placed there. Then rest of the players are filled out due to mean.

* = 4 or more
~ = 3
% = Placed due to mean

Draft Order by Mode Version B

1. Andrea Bargnani* ............. 16. Thabo Sefolosha*
2. Tyrus Thomas* ................ 17. Jordan Farmar*
3. Adam Morrison* ............... 18. Alexander Johnson~
4. Brandon Roy* ................. 19. Sergio Rodriguez*
5. Shelden Williams* ............ 20. Quincy Douby~
6. Rudy Gay* .................... 21. Saer Sene~
7. Lamarcus Aldridge% ........... 22. Rajon Rondo%
8. Marcus Williams% ............. 23. Kyle Lowry*
9. Patrick O'Bryant* ............ 24. Mardy Collins%
10. Randy Foye% ................. 25. Shannon Brown~
11. JJ Redick* .................. 26. Maurice Ager%
12. Cedric Simmons* ............. 27. Shannon Brown%
13. Rodney Carney% .............. 28. Oleksiy Pecherov~
14. Ronnie Brewer% .............. 29. Josh Boone*
15. Hilton Armstrong% ........... 30. Guillermo Diaz%

So if you look at this the * should represent the most consensus selections and the ~ represents a good chance at being selected there. The rest are fillers.

According to these mock drafts the biggest locks are Tyrus Thomas at #2 to the Bulls (8 of 11) and Patrick O'Bryant at #9 to the Warriors (7 of 11).

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
