You mean defense? I'll take care of that.

Lack of size maybe? I don't think that's a big issue. Zo may be only 6'10'', but he has very long arms and was also a terrific shotblocker.
Mullin isn't too athletic and he's rather small for a SF, but I don't think it'll be a major problem because I have a defensive anchor, and guys who aren't really good defensively typically look better on that end than they actually are with such guy in the middle.

you have a gaping black hole on your roster.

Webber was tricky thought about taking him with my 2nd pick but once I selected mchale I couldnt have that small of a frontcourt.

His passing was great and I would have been fine with taking him over mchale and pairing him next to lebron but one year he played under 75 percent of games in a season so I couldnt take his 3 prime years which really was a dealbreaker as a 2nd pick

It's going to be really interesting to see who goes during this next round and a half before it gets to my turn.

I wonder how many people start taking a 6th man before filling out their starting lineup.

I considered Webber at my spot too. But I decided that Rasheed's defensive edge was too tempting to pass up. Webber's the better go-to offensive option but I think Rasheed could thrive on a loaded team where he only needs to be the 4th/5th offensive option. But Webber/Robinson is certainly a nasty frontcourt, a ton of athleticism on that team.

Sorry for the wait, I just got home. I'll be making my pick shortly. It's just down to 2 players.

I hoped Stockton would fall to my pick though either Rasheed or Sikma seemed more realistic, but alas, I chose Larry Nance who is one of the most underrated players ever. A great athlete who won the 1st NBA slam dunk contest, he had a bit of a post game, was money with his mid-range jumper, great finisher, great defender, and is a great teammate who does what it takes to win games. There's not many who can claim to have career averages in the 17pt/8reb/2blk/59%TS...well the rest are centers.

I think the only adjustments to the rules I'd consider is having a 50 game floor per season while playing 75% of the games over 3 (for 82 game seasons). Or if the current rules apply, have the draft be ABBABAABAB.

I didn't consider Webber at all. Something about his game that I don't like.

OK, I know, I'm going in the unorthodox way. :lol:

My team will have character, that's for sure.
I wanted to pick Nance, but I really didn't see a similar player, and then I realized that all 5 teams after me will need a point-guard with their coming two picks... so 10 picks later, there will be 5 PG's less left. And I think, Price's three-year prime may be the best of all the remaining PG's, and because of his exquisite shooting, he suits my team offensively (which is suddenly somewhat similar to ardee's selection).
Another way to approach this: I had hard time not to take Stockton with my 3rd pick, now I get Price with my 4th. Stockton is a better defender, but it's still a good price (... bargain), I think.

Marc Gasol the perfect compliment to Tim Duncan. Fantastic passer, solid mid range shot, elite basketball IQ and positioning. Seriously Duncan and Gasol will never miss a rotation.

C - M.Gasol
PF - Duncan
SF - TBD
SG - Moncrief
PG - Payton

So is it safe to say I have the size, and defense advantage over everybody so far =D

Your team has one glaring weakness. If you won't do anything about it, you're not going to win anything even with your great defense. :lol:

I didn't expect Nance to be drafted that high, I thought he'd still be available with my fifth pick. :lol:

Still, he wasn't a perfect fit for my team because he was an unimpressive rebounder for a bigman. I'm gonna be hugely disappointed if my next guy is be taken before I had a chance to nab him...

Price was the PG I was gunning for after I passed on Stockton. That's a shame, but there are still plenty of options.

john248 · Post #576 » by **john248** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 6:17 pm

The 2 guys I was thinking about was Price and Nance. Price finished high in MVP voting, but I felt there are a number of PGs to choose from later on where there were a few who played at a similar level enough so that I'll likely go 6th man with my next pick. I wanted to go with a more 1995+ PF since that was the age when the position really started to take hold where there's really only 1 from, to me at least, to choose from at this point in the draft but I went with the guy who's a better defender, shot blocker, who scores at a higher percentage, and who's athletic ability more than translates to this era.

btw good pick RSCD3_, peja was a really good player with the kings and wasn't just a shooter (although he was a great shooter)

Batmana already made his peak (Russell Westbrook).

Sagittaron is up.
