Fantasy Draft: 80's To Now DRAFT THREAD

[DroppinDimes]

Let me get Big Shot Bob

[MadNESS]

2011/2012 6th man of the year

10.3 FGA

[Hawk Eye]

2004-05 Amare Stoudemire



In case you guys haven't figured it out yet, the team I'm attempting to build is a modified version of the SSOL Suns--one of my favorite teams to watch growing up. Peak Amare was extremely scary on offense. This is the season Amare put up 37ppg on 61%TS in the playoffs against a prime Tim Duncan. Nash, Marion, Draymond, and Amare is an excellent start.

[LA Bird]

Team LA Bird selects Bobby Jones.

Spoiler:

You're up.

[poopdamoop]

I'll grab Theo Ratliff here

You're up

[Statlanta]

Sorry for the delay, my calculator has been shooting flames for the number crunching I've had to do for the pick
With my risk of a pick I'm going with

Spoiler:

Rudy Gobert

This pick is essentially as good as my luck for the next 27 picks, also I can't let LA Bird have all of the fantasy Gobert fun

On the clock

[wojoaderge]

1998-99

Chris Mullin

7.4 FGA, 3.1 of which were 3FGA - which he shot at a .465 clip. I don't much more needs to be said . . .

But I will say this - with Mullin, McMillan, and "Mickey," I have addressed this newfangled "spacing" business. I have the unstoppable force inside with McFilthy who will destroy one-on-one coverage or pass out of the double-team to the bombers. I also have an excellent creator, facilitator, and pace-changer in Sugar. Of course, I have a few more pieces to add as well . . .

you're up again

[Colbinii]

James Posey.

You're up!

[Snakebites]

Welp, I almost took this guy in the last round as a panic pick after Bruce Bowen got taken, so I'm pretty pleased to land:



Shane Battier. A 3 point shooter and strong defender in the same vein as the ever-popular Bruce Bowen, and also has some nice versatility defensively as well.

[batmana]

I'm going with Kevin McHale. A super-efficient scorer on relatively low FGA, an excellent rebounder and defender, can play both next to Gilmore and Rodman.

[Fadeaway_J]

I've just realised that despite my best efforts I'm running a bit higher than expected on FGA. With that in mind, I'll bring in the 1985-86 Sixth Man of the Year, a crucial piece of one of the greatest teams of all time, to back up Cap. A top-notch reserve with only 5.1 FGA which gives me a bit more breathing room to fill out my roster.


Bill Walton

[Timmaytime]

Man there's a guy on the board I can't believe is still around that doesn't fit whatsoever and he's just so tempting still.

If he's still around next round I am 100% picking him.

For now, i'll take Paul George.

[DerrickNoah]

Nicolas Batum

[lilroddyb]

I'll go with Rasheed Wallace

Glad to reunite Rasheed and Ben. Together they anchored one the best defense of alltime


year to be decided

[Blazer50]

Blazer50 completes his Fab Five by Selecting CHRIS WEBBER


2000-01
PPG RBS AST PER
27.1 11.1 4.2 24.7

[BdeRegt]

There are a few players that I love as value at this spot but I have to go with a guy that I believe is extremely undervalued as one of the few PGs who have proven they can stop Magic and I would argue is the best defensive PG/SG of all time.

Dennis Johnson

You're up

[DroppinDimes]

Let me get one of the greatest defensive centers of all time:



Mark Eaton

2× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (1985, 1989)
Highest blocks per game percentage in NBA history (3.5 per game)
4× NBA blocks Leader (1984–1985, 1987–1988)
3× NBA All-Defensive First Team (1985–1986, 1989)
2× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1987–1988)
NBA All-Star (1989)

[MadNESS]

Give me Mr. 5x5

AK47

Giving me the best 6th and 7th man combo in this game

Go for 2 Hawk Eye!

[Hawk Eye]

Raja Bell



Alvin Robertson

[MadNESS]

I'll go with:



Steve Kerr here.

Great fit with Wade.

Prime Wade handled the ball a lot, this gives me an off the ball spot up shooter, a knock down clutch guy, and a sneaky defender who played hard every play.
