No MVP big men draft - Discussion thread

Really wanted Rodman, but cannot complain that I got MWP.

Perfect fit between Jordan and Bird defensively and as excellent of a cutter he was, he will capitalize greatly off the weak side on a triangle offense with Jordan, Bird and Gasol all being excellent at finding cutters on the back door.

Can also make 3 pointers at 36% so spacing wont be an issue like Rodman.

Ugh, in the pre-flaco era you could count on Sabonis falling in every draft…

Could be fun.

CBA rules applied would be based on FGAs

Would be interesting. We had one a few years ago where you could steal one player from someone else. That was also interesting and was a good twist.

your pick

That was my pick Larry made. He must have thought it was you.

If you don't want KJ I'll have him.

LA Bird can have Lowry or Marion if he wants them

Oh darn it. Loved the idea of Bam with AK47.

Center looking a little sparse. May just punt that position entirely at this point.

What I meant by punt was just wait until later in the draft.

Most people have their starting center now.

Damn you Flaco!!!

You could have selected him in round 3. Chances are Bird would have still been available in the later rounds. I was kinda worried I jumped the gun as well with Sabonis. I was tempted to leave him for my 5th pick. I then remembered Snakebites was planning to select him in the international draft and I didn't wanna risk it anymore.

Btw, Metta was a terrific defender as well!

I love Reggie/Iggy as a wing combination, and with CP3 too. And of course AK is always worth having.

At some point I'm going to have to find a way to spend all these FGA though...
