So OrlandoTill is up, then eminence, then me? Might be easier to keep track if the draft thread was only for drafting and discussion was in this thread. Just a thought.

Probably true, I'll do my best to do that from now on!

I don't know about you guys but I get this Creed Image instead of the Draft board.

Agreed. I've been trying to keep everything over here.

It's been a big-man spree the last couple of picks

Stoked to get Russell at 13, would've thought I had no chance at him.

Garnett was someone I thought I wouldn't have a shot at. Great pick, and I came damn close to taking him myself. He's basically the perfect player for this type of draft: crazy offensive value from playmaking as opposed to shooting, and GOAT level defense. Perfect fit next to damn near any other star you could draft.

TBH it is quite fortunate to have this with a thread of greatest peaks of all-time and the arguments to go along with them right under the draft.

Yep this was my first thought. Nice pick for sure.

I gotta say: It was hard picking Bird over Magic for me.

I noticed you said Bird would've been #1 for you; probably the same for Magic with me (may have taken Shaq, not sure).

I just love the possibilities Magic opens up in the modern game. A guy who can run both ends of the pick and roll, kill smaller guys in the post, and blow by bigger guys off the dribble is just unfair. His special kind of interior playmaking coupled with all the shooting makes me drool.

Bird is an awesome pick as well, and it's crazy to think how great he'd be without a hesitation on his trigger finger. He and Magic are kindred spirits, and ironically I think both would be a lot better today than they were then, which is scary to think about.

Agree with you on all that stuff.

Hehe, good. That's always a hope of mine - that people can quickly use prior projects for reference or to come up to speed quickly.

I was pretty pumped he was still available too

Gives me quite a bit of lineup versatility going forward since he can fill in so many areas.

He says this like Kareem isn't a fantastic pick :roll:

Nah, we'll probably all look like geniuses in the first few rounds, it'll be the last couple rounds that really decides it though I'm thinking.

Yes! Looks like I got him. Taking 77 Walton (14.3 fga)

Passing, defense, and pretty good scoring. He'll fit with just about anyone.
