1988 McHale is the best pick so far. You get 1st team all defense and elite post scoring at maximum efficiency.

I'm scared of this pick because it will put me in trouble later on but i have to get him. I'll select Tracy McGrady

Didn't see this coming at all but he can guard SFs if needed, post up, shoot the J, and do all of this under 25 FGAs a night. With my next pick 5 away I'm hoping this doesn't come back to bite me and I don't lose the one guy I want to complete my big 4 but that comes later.

Are you trying to build an All-White Team? I forgot to mention that, but it is not allowed. It's racist.

Just joking, obviously. Great pick with McHale.

I named my team the Coco Butter All Stars for a reason. :wink:

Was worried some of the superstar guys might not wind up getting picked up due to roster limits, good to see Westbrook/McGrady make the cut

LA Bird · Post #388 » by **LA Bird** » Thu May 5, 2016 12:56 pm

I will draft Penny Hardaway and Andrei Kirilenko. Write-ups will come later after most of the roster is completed.

I will select Ben Wallace one of the best defenders of all time

and takes few shot attempts per game

No one better than Westbrook at that. Love what he did this year decreasing his scoring and focusing more on his overall floor game. We're going to control the glass and run people off the floor.

I don't know if you have the best team (although it is excellent), but you may have the most entertaining. The mayhem!

Thanks. It's definitely all about mayhem, but (though obviously I'm biased) I think the presence of Bill Russell is what turns it from "entertaining but not serious" into "dangerous, controlled chaos with a purpose". He was just so dominant at controlling the other team's scorers while allowing his own teammates to freelance effectively on O and D with his passing and shotblocking. Just my thoughts.

Russell's defense leading to transition opportunities for Westbrook and Barkley is drool-worthy imo. And if anyone can inspire those two to at least give reasonable effort defensively its definitely Russ.

Penny is a great pick and I'm mad you got AK before I could.

Guys LA Bird's team is scaring me.

With my fourth pick I'm picking 2009 Ray Allen (13.2 FGAs)

Offensively he was uber efficient from every spot on the floor, had 48/41/95 shooting splits, was an above average defender, and was a first option in a low volume role. With Nash-Allen-*****-McHale-Walton I don't think anyone else could top my offensive firepower.

I could say that about your team...Two GOAT level shooters (both capable of creating of their own shot, one of them being a GOAT level facilitator/floor general), a GOAT level low post scoring and GOAT level mid/high post playmaker...Damn, wow.

Theonlyclutch has a very nice core, too. KAJ/Manu/Billups seem like they would work VERY well as a unit.

Adding another elite turnover-forcing, rim-rattling athlete to the roster...

Shawn Marion

My team is cool but I still have a major hole with my perimeter defense and I'm 25 picks away from being able to address that. Penny-****-AK-Dirk-Robinson is pretty great. Our only saving grace would be if he's forced to take late career Robinson due to the FGAs and even then we aren't safe.

Kareem, Manu, Chauncey is great too but I want to see where it's headed before putting him on LA Bird's level.

Square · Post #397 » by **Square** » Thu May 5, 2016 2:03 pm

The recent picks have been great...Penny and Big Ben were guys I thought about as soon as this draft started, though I ended up making choices that precluded my taking them.

E-Balla's Nash/Allen backcourt is offensively very striking, but have to see how he addresses the somewhat questionable defense of that duo.

I was really surprised when Allen wasn't taken somewhere in the first 3 rounds. I'd definitely call him a steal.

okay adding the Matrix...... IDK about best as there are lots of great teams being assembled, but square's team would be so much fun to watch. Needs some shooters now.
