The Runners-up Draft (Post-merger) - Discussion Thread

[Fadeaway_J]

I can’t decide who’s teams are best in this one so far. I think I like Laimbeers best so far, Snell has some crazy talent, Goober has great shooting around LeBron, Fade with a great Kobe team. And there’s a few other who are right there. I can’t say imo anyone has really separated themselves

Yeah it's a very strong field. You and Ness are also looking stacked.

Yah I’m liking my team for sure, I think Payton and Dwight can work in the same sense as Payton and Kemp as a secondary offensive option. KD is obviously the go to guy with Mullin being a second fiddle that can play a Klay role and get open for threes. Mullin was an offensive monster but he was slow as molasses and I’ve moved him to Sg where guys tend to be quicker. I think I need a good defensive guard to play behind him here. I also was hoping Oakley would fall to play behind Pau

Since guys are campaigning - I have to say I feel like my team is coming together. I think Magic was the consummate team guy who will make the combo with Harden work - Love will keep the floor spaced so they can work in or out - I think this was the season he led the league in rebounding. Clearly I needed to fill in a defensive presence which I did with Ben Wallace - and Buck Williams coming off the bench (still #3 all time in offensive rebounds)- Finally, if a Hall of Famer can be under appreciated - Jamaal Wilkes is the guy. He was a total glue guy - knocking down big shots whether it was with Wooden's Bruins - GSW or with his running mate in LAL - Magic! (He put up 37 and 10 when Magic had 42 at center in the Lakers 2011 championship over the '76ers. Wilkes was matched up against the Dr for most of the game).

I’m so torn on your team. I really really like it, my only question is Magic and Harden. Harden is an offensive monster, but he needs the ball...he likes to run everything, will that mesh with Magic? Your shooting certainly helps. It’s a top team for sure, but it’s one I have to think about a lot

Darvin Ham started off as a hustle guy & dunk specialist but is now one of the top assistant coaches in the entire league via Mike Budenholzer

[migya]

your pick

[Blazers-1977]

Yah I couldn’t find any low fga guards, a low fga decent shooting pg is hard to come by. Might run KD at pg for 8 mins

Same I have only 6.2 FGA left for my last two picks

Welcome to a day in the life of Tony Snell.

Great dunker but not good at basketball otherwise, at least when on the Pistons.

I'm gonna guess a super low FGA.

[Laimbeer]

What? The campaign has begun?

Duncan
Sheed
Pierce
Drexler
Porter

Solid!

[Fadeaway_J]

What do you folks think Dikembe's peak year is?

1998-99 seems the best overall. You might want one of his more athletic Nuggets years though.

[goober]

Can someone take my list?

[Fadeaway_J]

Can someone take my list?

OK

[Fadeaway_J]

Well Goober didn't send a list, so he has just under 90 minutes left then it goes back to Ness if Jon hasn't picked.
