Put together the Best Team you can from your favorite team using the best draft pick possible alltime.


For instance, I'll just use a few examples of what I mean.

The Best #1 pick for the Bulls was Elton Brand
The Best #3 pick for the Bulls was Michael Jordan


But use picks #1-#14 first. If your team has never had each individual pick in the draft then go with the next ranking. Let's say your team never had the #2 pick, then go 1,3,4,5, etc until you have a roster of 14 members.

I do not know how territorial picks count, but here we go...

All those great Celtics and your best 1 and 2 picks are Chuck Share and Len Bias? That's even funnier.

Did you even READ the original post?

List your best player at every pick for your top 14 picks. If you've had 1-14 picks in the draft, go off those, only when you didn't obtain a certain pick can you go down the line.

Braggard reason: we were so successful that we rarely had the 1 or 2 pick.

Level headed reason: Russell was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks, so he is not eligible.

Yes I did, I didn't give two $hits about the first 14 picks. It is much more interesting with all 1st and 2nd round picks.
