Probably only pick 8 or 9 guys too so we all have an actual rotation
It's definitely a go with what we have now. More would be nice, but I agree with Snakebites that 8 should probably be the max.
Snakebites wrote:Just to clarify, you ARE playing, right Laimbeer?
If you are, we now have 7 people with Han Solo added to the mix. I think one more would give us the perfect number, not sure I'm comfortable with more than 8 for this draft pool.

And Laimb, I like to think I'm fairly knowledgable about players and history of the game, but I don't really know much about game plans, X's and O's either.

Go!
he's on the list.. loved Jon Barry. Snakebites wrote:Most hated team of all time:
PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Flip Murray (who should be in the pool, btw)
SF: Josh Smith
PF: Charlie Villanueva (nice guy, hated him as a player
C: Christian Laettner
Irony is Laettner might actually be a useful player on the right team and I could even see myself drafting him at some point, I just so personally disliked him when he was here.
And really, Iverson absolutely needs to be in this pool. Sure, he's predominantly known as a non Piston, but you can say the same for guys like Antonio McDyess, Theo Ratliff, heck, even dudes like Adrian Dantley and Mark Aguirre. All of those guys had both longer and far more successful stints with other teams. Heck, Sean Elliott is almost like the SF version of Iverson- never really bought into being here and was gone in a year!
Chris Webber is more of a gray area since he never played anything close to a full season with us (43 games to Iverson's 54, and Iverson was traded to us 2 days into the season). Would I draft him? No. Could I see someone else trying to sell him? Probably. He never really fit in with the group we had in place.
I envision 8 teams with 8 to 10 guys per team. Part of the challenge will be finding bench players with limited abilities who complement the rest of the team. Still unsure whether I'd rather have a high pick or a low pick, but I assume the randomizer will decide that.

Murray is now in. Why do I have no recollection of that guy?
Yeah, I thinking 8 x 10 on the teams. The draft will take a while.

Go!
C'mon someone with a picture of SVG must be interested in signing up!
