I wanna see Point Jordan coz that's the bees knees lmao

His numbers as a PG were out of this world. There was a learning curve he went through. but.

30.4 points, 10.7 assists, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.4 steals in 39.8 minutes over 24 games.

10 triple doubles in 11 games.

Small sample size though

That's why 91 Bulls is my favourite iteration out of the bunch. He was passing that thang like a mad man, Jordan to Pax or Pax to Jordan was straight $$$.

I’ve gotten docked for using Jordan as a point guard before.

He had his greatest success alongside another great playmaker, though he was not a pg either.

He has some off ball abilities too so I wouldn’t want him as a heliocentric ball handler- not because he couldn’t but because that ignores part of his game.

I expected Jordan first then to end up with Bird.

I wouldn’t fret about Magic though. This is a deep pool and we don’t have a lot of drafters- that’s a good Magic pool IMO.

Really? You could you use the same argument for say Curry, like he isn't a PG in the traditional sense but gets placed there as his defacto position. Early Bulls had a rotation anyway at the spot everyone got a touch on the offence it was great

I don’t care all that much where a player is slotted. I was just saying I want another playmaker with Jordan, whether it be a point guard or not.

I just cannot figure out the best bet other than just try and 100% rebuild the showtime lakers.

I have tried with highflyers all around him and giving him the space to post up, but that didnt work out either although I thought it would.

Just have to wait and see who is there in the 2nd round I guess.

I won with him a while back. I had AD, a slasher who shall remain nameless, and shooting at all other spots.

Bird and MJ are definitely my top 2.

Some posters always look to grab Magic early, so I was hoping someone would do that again and leave me Bird or Jordan.

Why? Leave a 5 player list for me, you pick before me I can’t take any of them. Seems like you’re holding up the draft for no reason…..

Nash/DRob is poetry.

I didn't really have time to think through a proper list. I'm on a different timezone, the only reason I could pick Hakeem was that I woke up in 2am to soothe my baby boy. I was on the phone for less than 1 minute.
