Man I really like those last 3 picks. Smart and Hill were both guys I considered picking multiple times. And glad to see Mo Cheeks get some love here.

I had George Hill on my radar. Was down to Hill and Cheeks, I was already leaning on Cheeks because his passing was considerably better. But getting sniped on is never sweet. :lol:

Since your Moses pick, there are 5 perimeter defenders got selected. We're stacking up.

BTW, I'm having troubles in my personal life. I'll finish the draft since I'm not far away from making my last selection. But I may transfer my team to a person who wanted to participate and couldn't get the chance and likes my team and its philosophy.

Thanks a lot.

I didn't look at your team's fga particularly. Wonder if you'd be able to get early-mid '80s prime Moncrief. If you can land that version, it's a WOW pick.

I hope things will get better. I think that this year is tough for all of us (for different reasons). I wish you the best!

I will, still thinking which year I should choose...

I was looking at Moncrief for a few rounds but he just had 2-3 FGA too much to fit in sadly. Really good pick here.

I like 1983-84 the most but 1982-83 is also very close. Though would went with 1983-84 definitely if fga is a concern.

I like my team very much. I feel like I can compete with anyone and have a good chance. Not sure if better chance, but this is my 1st time in an all-time draft and I feel I did well.

I'm sorry to hear that Odinn. Take care of yourself, and whatever you need to do, see you on the other side. :beer:

1984 has a bit too much FGA to my team unfortunately. I'm torn between 1982 (more athletic) and 1986 (better shooting).

Pablo Prigioni

First, you are really really good at this. Love your team.

2nd this really really hurts. He was written in pen as my final pick and now I have to come up with something totally different. May have to change up a season for someone else now to free up some FGA.

To add on Pablo, he is a great ball control guy. Assuming you use 13-14, you get a 4 to 1 A/T ratio. Perfect for a backup PG. Also if you have a lead in the closing minutes he's a great FT shooter so he can help close certain games.

Understatement to say I love this pick as a sub 3 FGA guy.

And with that, just finished my team with my last pick. That's always one of those things you feel mixed about. The goal was to build a complete team, but the excitement of seeing whether you'll get your guy is something you miss immediately.

I'm fortunate to say that in this draft I never had my next choice "stolen". Each round while I made a list of candidate, my top candidate was there for me when the pick finally came to me. Some skill there in predicting the market, but also a lot of luck. Regardless, what that means is that I built the team I set out to build. However much people like it or not, this was the team I could envision around Nash here and I'm going to savor that.

So in researching guys trying to fill my last roster spot I'm discovering a lot of guys shot the ball way more often than they should have.

I originally wanted Matthew Dellevadova but he shot the ball nearly 5 times per game in 2015 and shot 30.2% from 2.

Thanks--yeah I really like Pablo too. There should be a lot of players whom shoot 3 times or less in 20 minutes but players love to shoot.

Yup. Had me worried. Smart was literally the next guy on my list after Rubio and Hill was on my list as well.

(I'm obviously doing a very 3-point focused thing so Cheeks wasn't someone I was thinking this time around, but he's more than worthy. He's a guy whose hey day was before my time so I knew him from stats first. When I actually saw him as his best, he was so much better than I imagine. Definitely someone who pops out from the other 9 guys on the court.)

It's been really fun to draft this team and I'm honestly very happy with how it turned out. I didn't expect to get a bench as good as Marcus Smart, Bruce Bowen and Marcus Camby. I have no clue if my team is popular with voters but we'll see.

Post #259 » by **Texas Chuck** » Fri Apr 17, 2020 7:18 pm

So unlike Doc I did get sniped a couple times, the worst being Hawk Eye stealing Billups out from under me. But despite that I definitely built the team I wanted to build as well.

Like everyone else I wonder how others will view it, but I love having no passengers on the roster and lots of modular pieces. And only one even neutral defender in Robinson with everyone else a small to huge plus so teams can't target a guy offensively -- especially not with two of the best-all time help defenders in KG and AK running around.

Really had fun with this and love lots of other teams.

I also like my team, at first I wasn't sure about my defense against quick perimeter players, but now with SquidI don't see any glarring defensive weakness from my team. Gilmore would frustrate any bigman with size and strength, he was also fantastic rim protector. Prince, Squid and Kidd are elite pieces around Duncan's inside pressence. Diaw was quite decent defensively too, especially next to rim protectors. Even Gervin in his early NBA years brings me length and shotblocking.
