So this is about to be a boring pick and I don't know how well it will be received when voting happens because he hasn't had enough time to establish himself as an all time great. Hasn't had any time at all really.

I'm still looking for depth and for a guy that can switch on defense. A guy that can step out on offense and put the ball on the floor. I want a guy that will fit in with the guys I already have on the team, but brings talent on both ends of the court.

Karl-Anthony Towns, 15-16, Rookie

18/11/2/2/1 35% from three on 1 attempt per game.

He adds depth to my front court where I also have Robinson and Rodman. He can step out on offense when playing with Rodman and let Rodman work the baseline and the boards. I even believe he can play a semi Tim Duncan roll next to Robinson against big lineups.

He's active and aggressive on both ends. Showed he can switch on defense in the Warriors game at Oracle and did it for the rest of the season. He can rebound the basketball and score from anywhere on the floor. Plays very good defense for a rookie and he is still the third best post defender I have. I think he fits well with the team I have and how I want to play. I'm not going to have to lean on him or ask much of him so as a rookie he won't be playing a star roll on my team.

I also considered Sabonis, but the immobility he would have brought to my defense would have hamstrung the switching that I would like to do.

ahhh damnit man. I've been sniped a few times so I know how it feels. I don't like being on either end of it.

front page should be up-to-date

Chelsea vs Liverpool on ESPN starting in 15 minutes. How cool is that? Soccer at 11:30PM. Perfect.

Nobody pick PJ Hairston's rookie season, that'll ruin my strategy.

Pretty sure Fats will use his All-NBA pick for a center and Esal will use it for a shooting guard. I can say my All-NBA pick won't get sniped, nice! I'll keep it as my last pick.

1959/1960 - 46.4 mpg / 37.6 ppg / 27.0 rpg / 2.3 apg / 46.1% fg / 58.1% ft

Rookie Wilts overall game wasn't as refined as in his later years, but his physical tools were unrivaled even to this day and I don't plan on using him as my primary scoring option anyways. We are talking about a dude who stood 7'1" without shoes and ran a sub 11 second 100 yard dash, 49 second 440, broad jumped 22 feet, and high jumped 6'6" with the head old school style.

I highly recommend anyone that has never seen footage of young Wilt or is just curious about him in general to watch the first 20 minutes of this video and have your mind completely blown.

This is a really tough choice but I will hope that the glue guys/shooters I am looking at will be there when the draft comes back around. I want to have elite players on the bench unit because there aren't many left. Still sticking with championship experience and defense.

Artis Gilmore, the A-Train, left handed.

In 1977-1978 Gilmore put up 22.9 ppg, 13.1 rpg, 2.2 bpg, and 3.2 apg on route to being an all-star, and was also on the NBA All-Defensive 2nd team. Gilmore was the Shaq of the 70's, hard to contain, and will dominate your big white stiffs on ya'll's 2nd unit.

PG: John Stockton (1992; Dream Team, 2nd team all NBA, 2nd team all Defense, 15.8 ppg, 13.7 apg, 3.0 spg, 50/40/84 %)
SG: Kobe Bryant (2008; NBA MVP, 1st team all NBA, 1st team all Defense, 28.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.8 spg)
SF:
PF: Kevin McHale (1984; All-Star, 6th MOTY 18.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.5 bpg. 55% FG)
C: Tim Duncan (1998; All-Star, 1st team all NBA, 2nd team all Defense, Rookie of the Year, 21.1 ppg, 11.9 rpg, 2.5 bpg, 2.9 apg, 55% FG)

Bench: Artis Gilmore (1978; All-Star, 2nd team all Defense, 22.9 ppg, 13.1 rpg, 2.2 bpg, and 3.2 apg)

haha pretty much

I'm facepalming at myself right now. I could have taken rookie Duncan and got my other four starters I planned on going after (I totally would have sniped your Klay Thompson pick).

Flip, didn't you already use Stop Shooting on Vince? If not, what category did you use for Vince?
