Cramer, when I first read this, I thought you were working some kind of double reverse sarcastic jab at the anti-EJ crowd. I mean, if EJ is the coach, wouldn't he naturally start Jarvis over a guy like Bobby D, so that he could get the boost off the bench?

And any list without Haywoode Workman is woefully deficient.

I selected Willams as a starter on my team based off his talent and versatility.

Thank you Pradamaster for remembering Walt Bellamy who was more dominant than either Wes or Elvin in his early seasons (mainly because he had zero talent around him and had to do everything) before eating himself into the largest butt ever seen in captivity.

Actually, problem is we don't have any good two way guards. Our offensive guards didn't play great defense and visa versa. Nor were our great scorers particularly efficient (again, excepting Bells).

Jeff Malone played pretty good D. I remember him giving Michael Jordan more problems than most other guys.

I know E and Gus are both prototypical PF's but neither guy can go to the bench and we'd have total domination of the boards. Doesn't matter if E couldn't check a SF out on the perimeter, name me a SF that's going to take it to the rack with the rest of that beef waiting for him?

Gus, Wes, McFilthy and McNasty. Lets get ready to rumble, baby.



nice post cramer

include Mitch Kupchak (pre injury as a big guy off the bench)

Re Hot Plate - in the couple of months before he got hurt, he was playing as
well as any PF in the league and he was still a babe. If his knee hadn't given out,
he had a VERY bright future in front of him.

Moses and MJ, while clearly past their prime, had some notable moments
for us.

PG Gilbert/Kevin Porter/Darrell Walker
SF Bernard King/Bobby D./Caron Butler (will be best if he lasts/Greg Ballard
PF Elvin Hayes/Gus Johnson/Jeff Ruland/
C Wes Unseld/Moses Malone/Walt Bellamy (going old school)
