A Question?

On several threads I see references to various trade rumors including picks being described as a "high" pick or a "low" pick.

OK is a low pick a low number or is a high pick a low number? Or is a low pick a high number and a high pick a high number?

Good question, Beat. I tend to think of a high pick as closer to #1. But others may think it means closer to #62. I guess it would behoove people to word things so people will know which is meant. That's what I'll do from now on. Thanks for raising the issue.

beat,

Maybe others will disagree with me, but a "high pick" is like one we got on lottery day. Our #17 pick would be a "middle pick" and we took JR Giddens at 30th with a low pick.

At least that's how I've been using those terms.

I agree with Bob

or you could use the terms early round pick, late round pick.

That's the safer way, kdp. Good idea.

Hi,
Thanks. Now I get it, too. High is low and low is high.

Now you got it!

Didn't mean to start a mess but really, it can be a bit misleading.
