Best and Worst of 09/10 - Part 1 of 3

Part 1 of a 3 part look at this past season's draft, who was brilliant and who was an idiot.

Expandadraft:

~ Best: Temple by SGII. Pick 81 (first in expansion) bringing in 33 pts. Not too much thinking involved in this pick.
~ runner-up: Murray St by Jaybird. And. UTEP by Notaturtle - both bringing in 31 points.
~ Note: Gunz's Rhode Island is still alive, and could bring in a solind number of points from the NIT.

~ Worst: Virginia by Gunz. Pick 93 bringing in only 4 pts.
~ runner-up: Charlotte by CEO - dropped a shitty team to pick up an even worse one worth only 3 pts.


Round 8:

~ Best: Baylor by Akaoni, bringing in a huge 66 points from pick 66. This almost doubles the closest competitor from this round. This was one of the top 5 picks of the year.
~ runner-up: Northwestern by Jaybird and Houston by Boaris. The last picks in the regular draft, both teams brought in 36 points.

~ Worst: Radford by Jutdog. Despite preseason hype to win the league again, Radford only generated 17 wins all season, and produced no other bonuses. Pick 73
~ runner-up: Penn State by Notaturtle. Only 17 points. This team could not win a game. Pick 74.


Round 7:

~ Best: St Marys by Boaris, bringing in 56 points from the 61st pick. This team's points were significantly boosted by a strong and surprising run into the sweet 16.
~ runner-up: Cornell by Jutdog, bringing in 50 pts from the 69th pick. This is the third year that Jutdog snagged Cornell, and is likely the last, as this strong run into the sweet 16 was led by 6 seniors.

~ Worst: Niagara by Phunmunki, bringing in only 22 points from the 65th overall pick.
~ runner-up: Long Beach State by Notaturtle, with only 21 points scored by the 68th overall pick.
