It'd be too boring if Scottie ended up with Jordan again. This is BAT, mix it up a little lol.

Surprised Stockton went this high, but a nice duo in him and Robinson.

And can someone please take "that guy", it's just disrespectful by now.

I knew I shouldn't have given any clues to the Magic about who I was looking to draft at #16, now it'll cost an arm and a leg to get him!

I'm wit' you on that, I'm not trading at all, I'm drafting exactly who I have an idea of who fits my team mold and who I expect or at least the type of player I want at certain positions and PRAY they're there lol but man...

Never tip your hand!

Doc is who I initially was gonna build my team around btw, ultimately came down to jumpshooting percentage/ ability being the deciding factor.

lol yea I know I screwed up there bigtime. Definitely understand the KD choice...like you said its who you wanted for your team, not who you thought could get most return in a trade. I would like to play in one where that wasn't a part of it...especially in an all time draft where you should be picking your personal dream team.

Btw everyone..my pick was made like 20 mins ago..emailed the next dude already. Took just under 2 hrs because I was trying to nab a different player in a trade with this pick.

Yeah, gonna be funny watching guys maybe mortgage their draft for a bigger name guy...inflation is a b*tch.

Karl Malone was a great pick, definitely interested to see how not only you but others build their teams, will it be counter moves to other peeps picks or stay on task with a plan.

Also I think there are plenty of guys left and if you don't nab one on the way down the draft maybe they'll be there on the way back up the draft ladder.

I know it's all fun but man, these hints are really as bad as name dropping.

I don't think he's eligible if its who I'm thinking of or I would have taken him

Post #371 » by **SOUL** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:12 am

Glad my guy dropped.

He definitely is.

Interesting frontcourt so far w Pippen and McHale.

I think I know who everybody is talking about, but I have my reasons for not taking him ;p

To kinda sum up our picks we loved the idea of getting a Duo with our picks that would strive for greatness and both these players emulate the culture we want to build. Robinson was an amazing athlete, he was a legit 7"1 very nimble and was one of the best big man athletic specimens ever. Early in Robinson's career he was a dominating force at a time when some of the best big men played this game we feel like he got undervalued because he started late and didn't play as long in his prime as others but he won two championships an MVP and even averaged 29.8 PPG in one season. His career averages of 21 and 10 with an astounding 3 Blks per game throughout career show that we are getting an ultimate defense and offensive weapon in the paint. We are very happy and proud to have him anchoring our paint.
We are also extremely excited about John Stockton the most underrated NBA player in my estimation. This game will never see a better passing PG then the great Stockton, averaging 10.5 assists for his career. He was as tough as they come missing only 22 games in his WHOLE 19 YEAR CAREER and playing hard tough defense. If you watch the video I posted you can see even the great Michael Jordan struggled to guard him at times. He was quick smart and hardworking. We are honored to have him and David on our team.

We really sat good and hard and looked at McHale great player we just opted to go with Robinson for defensive purposes

This is getting interesting now, seeing teams starting foundation as PG C, gonna be interesting watching the holes get filled in.

I'll get everything updated shortly. But the way the timing has worked out tonight...it's a perfect example of why you need to send a list out.

Haha thanks for the props on the pick. It definitely is going to be interesting seeing the rest of his play out...it has been so far. Can't wait to see the rest of these superstar duos or big three types form. I'm noticing I need to be more prepared since all the names I thought I'd have a chance at are being picked up left and right lol.

Did the clock stop yet? Like does it start again at 8am or no? I need sleep before my pick lol. Still debating on 2 players.
