I just think he is about the easiest player to build a team around other than maybe LeBron. But probably better at a few things.

For the record I've never been a Melo fan really. I'm not a big fan of ISO players (and the Suns have like 3 of them right now). I did like Melo better than LeBron as a rookie but the more I saw the way they liked to play, team ball vs hero ball, I gravitated to appreciate LeBron more.

No offense to Melo fans, it's just a personal preference. Didn't like Kobe either, but part of that might be being a Suns fan...but still too much iso play.

Edit, and yes, I am pretty well aware of how much you guys LOVE Melo around here at this point.

Well I am not a Suns fan but I hated Kobe for more than anything Raja Bell > Kobe the good old days, what a masquerade his retirement tour was fluffing his ego for the detriment of their youngsters at least Duncan showed everyone how to be a proper legend

Yes, Kobe was ridiculous. That farewell tour for one, and when he came up with the Black Mamba nickname AFTER Kill Bill 2, where they explain what a Black Mamba does in a scene before unleashing it, and then Kobe says something like "I came up with it after reading some things". It was seriously like a month after Kill Bill 2 game out.

LOVE when Raja clotheslined Kobe.

Excellent 1st pick!

You probably just shook a lot of people's draft boards. :lol:

Thanks. When did people expect him to go? There was only one other person I was considering.

One or 2 BATs ago, he'd be late 1st to 2nd Round mostly. These days, he'll be Top 10 EASILY.

His versatility is what makes him golden.

I feel bad for not ranking Greenie in the playoffs last BAT. In my defense, it was early (like a month) in the season. Giannis has been going apeshyt every single night.

Yes, in our Suns Premier Fantasy League, he went 5th and it shocked everyone, as this is before the season and it is a one season game.

He may have even gone higher in our Dynasty draft, based on who I couldn't believe dropped to me with the 8th pick.

Lol no I am not deluded, if I was #9 I could have got my hopes up, I looked at players around the NBA and there was %0 chance for me to not end up with a fine big boy 8-)

LeBron is not really clear-cut #1 pick to me. There's a number of players one can pick ahead of him.

8 hours and literally only 2 picks.

It's okay. It's MLK weekend, and I also think most people were prepped mentally for this to start later in the month or the beginning of February, like what was suggested earlier in the thread. This BAT started pretty quickly after the initial thread, and after bish started posting.
