Oct. 19 -- And so, there we were, 10 experts. Okay, nine experts and NBA TV's Rick Kamla. Thursday night, Oct. 13, 2005. Gathered around the NBA.com FREE LEAGUE MANAGER, with FREE LIVE SCORING.

Ready to do battle in a 10-team, standard eight-category (PTS, RBS, AST, STL, 3's, FG%, FT%, BLKS) "rotisserie" league. To be played out right here on NBA.com, NBA TV and in a weekly column called "C-DUB BASKETBALL PUB" where C-Dub will look at all our moves every week so you can learn form our genius. And mistakes. I am assuming most of them will come from Funston, however.

Anyways, we did a 1-10, 10-1 snake draft and here's the teams, owners and site they are representing:

1) FULL COURT PRESS: Court Mann - AOL Sports
2) ROTOWIRE.COM: Chris Liss - Rotowire.com
3) YAHOO SERIOUS!: Brandon Funston - Yahoo! Sports
4) JOHN CREGAN'S TEAM: John Cregan - NBA.com
5) MATTHEWBERRY'S TEAM: Matthew Berry - "The Talented Mr. Roto" - TalentedMrRoto.com / NBA.com
6) STRAIGHT CASH, HOMEY: Rick Kamla - NBA TV
7) SPORTING NEWS: George Winkler - The Sporting News
8) SI: David Sabino - SportsIllustrated.com
9) ESPN: Eric Karabell - ESPN.com
10) HOBOKEN NICKS: Rob Peterson - NBA.com

Look it over, see what picks you like, what picks you didn't and then get set for your own draft! You can create your own private league with friends or join a public league and meet -- and beat -- new friends from all over the world. Either way it's 100 percent free.

My pimping aside, it was a good, strong draft and everyone came prepared. I asked each of the participants to write a one line pitchy comment about each of their picks, so the comment you see below each pick is written by the guy who picked it.

So enjoy. And be honest. I've got the best team, right? At least it's better than Kamla's....

ROUND 1 Pick Overall Owner Player Team Pos. 1 1 Full Court Press LeBron James CLE F/G I closed my eyes and pretended not to be concerned about the hospital stay 2 2 RotoWire.com Kevin Garnett MIN F The top player in fantasy hoops - this pick needs no explanation 3 3 Yahoo! Serious Shawn Marion PHO F No. 3 pick -- after LBJ and KG -- is least desirable draft spot, but Marion eases the pain with big contributions across the board 4 4 John Cregan's Team Dirk Nowitzki DAL F Wow. I had totally forgotten I had taken Dirk. I say this because for some reason I never get the No. 3 to 5 pick. He's a player I've always wanted to own...I can honestly say I've just never had the opportunity. Dirk, looking forward to working with you 5 5 matthewberry's Team Andrei Kirilenko UTA F Cure cancer. There. I’ve listed the only thing AK-47 DOESN’T do. 6 6 STRAIGHT CASH, HOMEY Allen Iverson PHI G Tough call between AI and T-Mac, but how do you pass up 30 points, eight dimes, and 2.5 steals? 7 7 Sporting News Tim Duncan SA C/F It's nice to have an MVP center stowed away early 8 8 SI Dwyane Wade MIA G Hoping for dumb luck: I wanted Timmy to fall but Wade is a great consolation prize. 9 9 ESPN Kobe Bryant LAL G Pick ninth and still get to choose Kobe or TMac? Wasn’t even my birthday. 10 10 Rob Peterson's Hoboken Nicks Tracy McGrady HOU F/G Talk about a perfect 10, I get the purest scorer in the game ROUND 2 Pick Overall Owner Player Team Pos. 1 11 Rob Peterson's Hoboken Nicks Jason Kidd NJ G With a healthy R-Jeff and Vinsanity, wouldn't 15 assists per be a record or something? 2 12 ESPN Yao Ming HOU C So he’ll never be Kareem. Here’s a safe 18 and eight and one center spot done 3 13 SI Shaquille O'Neal MIA C Love having him on my side, but have to be careful with FT% from this point on. Must get a good backup for the bench. 4 14 Sporting News Gilbert Arenas WAS G Waiting on a guard paid off nicely after getting this Wiz kid 5 15 STRAIGHT CASH, HOMEY Baron Davis GS G Drafted BD in the second round of the mock draft for NBA.com's fantasy mag as well. BD bounces back with a vengeance. 6 16 matthewberry's Team Steve Nash PHO G Great %’s from a G, assists and he’ll score more with Amare out. Plus, he’s dreamy looking. 7 17 John Cregan's Team Paul Pierce BOS F/G Another player that I don't think I've ever owned. Very happy he slipped to me at No. 17 -- he has a history of being motivated by draft-day snubs. I just hope he doesn't poison the chemistry in my imaginary locker room 8 18 Yahoo! Serious Elton Brand LAC F No doubt, the 20 points, 10 boards and 50 percent shooting is nice, but the two blocks is what makes my knees weak 9 19 RotoWire.com Jermaine O'Neal IND F The last elite big man left on the board - a big time scorer and rebounder who also blocks shots. 10 20 Full Court Press Brad Miller SAC C/F As long as he stays healthy, he’s an eight-cat stud at center ROUND 3 Pick Overall Owner Player Team Pos. 1 21 Full Court Press Ron Artest IND F I hadn’t planned on having this option at the turn. I’ll take it. 2 22 RotoWire.com Stephon Marbury NY G A point guard who can score and pass, good from the floor and the line and shooting more threes 3 23 Yahoo! Serious Ray Allen SEA G 1.) I take care of my three-point worries with one swing of the bat 2.) It satisfies the Sonics fan within me 4 24 John Cregan's Team Mike Bibby SAC G Needed someone to keep Pierce in check. I always like Bibby because he's someone that you count on for steady production, and he's easy on the percentages 5 25 matthewberry's Team Ben Wallace DET C/F Long live the ‘Fro. The boards, blocks and great steals for a big man ain’t bad either. Him and AK and blocks are wrapped up. 6 26 STRAIGHT CASH, HOMEY Chris Bosh TOR C/F With apologies to Jalen Rose, I love getting the best player on a bad team. But I love Bosh's two-way status even more. 7 27 Sporting News Steve Francis ORL G I'm not scared of his move to SG; he's a value pick here 8 28 SI Vince Carter NJ F/G I'm banking on him a) staying healthy and b) staying interested. At this point I have plenty of scoring. 9 29 ESPN Zydrunas Ilgauskas CLE C Consistent stats, and all of a sudden he’s durable, too? I can even spell his name 10 30 Rob Peterson's Hoboken Nicks Emeka Okafor CHA C/F A guaranteed double-double every night... And he slipped to 30? Pinch me ROUND 4 Pick Overall Owner Player Team Pos. 1 31 Rob Peterson's Hoboken Nicks Michael Redd MIL G Won't face triple-teams every game this season, freeing up the deadliest shooter East of the Mississippi 2 32 ESPN Chauncey Billups DET G OK, so he’s not a top PG, but with Larry Brown gone, unleash the hounds! 3 33 SI Lamar Odom LAL F The best point guards were all gone so I decided to take the top point forward 4 34 Sporting News Amare Stoudemire PHO C/F Mike Tice moment: I mistakenly let time expire on pick. Destiny? 5 35 STRAIGHT CASH, HOMEY Joe Johnson ATL F/G Several of my combatants were visibly upset when I took Joe Cool off the board. I think we all see minimums of 20-5-5 from last year's runner-up in three-point accuracy 6 36 matthewberry's Team Kirk Hinrich CHI G Going big, small, big, small. Love PG’s who get threes and this is year Kirk becomes elite. 7 37 John Cregan's Team Dwight Howard ORL F My favorite pick of this draft, next to the Syrah over the Cabernet. I always think that in "expert" situations, you need to go for some high ceiling guys to break out from the pack. Does anyone in the NBA have more potential than Dwight Howard? No, I didn't think so. By the way -- Dwight, if you're reading this, I'm counting on 1.8 to 2.0 blocks per game from you. 8 38 Yahoo! Serious Richard Jefferson NJ F/G Expecting Jefferson to get a fantasy contact high running alongside Kidd 9 39 RotoWire.com Peja Stojakovic SAC F A minor miracle that he fell to us here - we needed threes, and love to take players with good shooting percentages from the floor and the line. 10 40 Full Court Press Zach Randolph POR F Another bounce back candidate to go along with Artest, I expect big things
