The 2on2 DWL draft lottery took place today at the home of Bobby E. The names in the lottery where Emil, Saam, Ryan F, Abi, Joel, Adam W, Scott, and Ryan W. This list is in order from who had the highest chance of getting the #1 pick (Emil) to the person who had the lowest chance of getting the #1 (Ryan W). In closed doors Bobby E. Jr selected the names one by one, with Tim Rumpff serving as a witness.
Scott anxiously awaited the drawing of the first name knowing that most likely to have the last pick in the draft were Ryan W and himself.
Two men such as Ryan F, Adam W, Abi and Scott all made appearances as they couldn't wait but to hear first hand exactly where they would be picking in the draft.
Here's how it went...
With the second least ping pong balls in the lottery, it was no surprise that Scott ended up with the last pick in the draft.
When asked how he felt about having his pick be dead last, Scott simply responded by showing us one of his fingers.
The seventh pick went to Ryan W, who got to move up one spot ahead of Scott. No reaction was recorded due to the fact that Ryan was a no-show at the lottery.
The six pick surprisingly recieved a happy response despite the fact that the repient had dropped two spots from where he originally was supposed to be drafting.
After realizing that he had no idea of what was going on, Abi quickly became silent for the rest of the draft.
The fifth pick was awarded to Joel Katz who also was a no-show. He was reportedly on driving in his car at the time.
However, it is more likely that he was actually hitting batting practice, playing catch, or trying to learn how to "run like alex" does.
The excitement in the room after the fourth pick wasn't from the guy who got the 4th pick, but instead from the two who realized that they would be in the top 3.
Ryan Fitzmeyer expected to recieve a top 3 pick, but surprisingly Adam W had moved swiftly from the 6th spot all the way into the top 3.
The fourth pick went to Emil Superfin who also didn't make an appearance at the draft lottery. When asked days before the lottery, Emil was considering asking Vadim to show up to the lottery as his representative.
With the fourth pick, Emil knows his two-year dynasty alongside Vadim will come to an end.
Excitement was followed with dissapointment for Ryan F as he was handed the 3rd pick.
While he acknowledged that drafting third would land him a good player, he was sad because his life-long dreams of playing aside David L seemed questionable.
The DWL sends all its regards to the Fitzmeyer family as they deal with Ryan's newfound depression.
Two thumbs up from Rossy's Camp as he was overwhelmed by the second pick.
After thinking about it for two minutes, Adam announced that he really wants a "big man".
He then started talking about basketball instead of his personal life and said he will draft one of two DWL stars from last year.
Saam Parsa was awarded the 1st overall pick with not much reaction from the crowd.
The general opinion was that Vadim would be taken with that pick, but only time will tell as the draft lies ahead.
