All-Time No MVP League - Draft Thread

[Quotatious]

Let's get this underway.

I bet you guys already know the drill, but I just wanted to remind you of these things:

1. You can draft any player, and any season of his career where he played at least 50 games in 82-game regular season (or 84 games in the case of ABA), at least 45 games in 66-game 2011-12 season, or at 35 games in 50-game 1998-99 season, who never won regular season MVP in the ABA or NBA.

2. You have to draft 8 players, maximum amount of 90.0 total FGA.

3. Timespan is 1955-56 to 2015-16 seasons.

4. If you draft a player from between 1955-56 and 1975-76 seasons, you have to multiply his FGA by 0.85. This is an incentive for you guys to draft older players and don't make this game skewed in favor of modern players, too much.

5. We will use ABBAABBA format.

In the link below, you can see how the teams are shaping:

[goober]

With the first overall pick I select Patrick Ewing



Looking at past drafts he's consistently picked in the first round, and IMO the only big man that's available that can be comparable to Malone, Barkley, etc, truly glad i have the opportunity to be on my team

[lilroddyb]

You will call it a reach but...

Give Me Kawhi Leonard



Advanced numbers through the roof, might be the best wing defender of alltime and has an elite threepoint shot

you're up

[8on]

Dwyane Wade

Europe

[MadNESS]

Jerry West

Eh, he's number 1 on every list on google for "best NBA player to never win MVP", so screw it, I've never build around him. And I'm pretty sure I get the multiplier too! This will be fun!

[Quotatious]

Chris Paul

.

You're up.

[eminence]

Picking up some firepower in the first round:

Is up

[Statlanta]

So many worthy basketball players of this spot
I'm going with the one I actually got to see with my own eyes in his best days

Dwight Howard

OTC

[Fadeaway_J]

OK screw it.


Tracy McGrady

.

Off you go.

[poopdamoop]

Scottie Pippen

yo

[Laimbeer]

Alonzo Mourning

Man, you can pick now.

[pelifan]

Dikembe Mutombo



This is without a doubt the worst I've ever felt about a pick.

[Timmaytime]

Walt Frazier

[Timmaytime]

per list-

janmagn selects John Stocton

[wackbone]

Elgin Baylor. Elite Scorer and Rebounder, and I benefit from the .85 multiplier.

1962-1963 stats: 34.0 ppg, 14.3 rpg, 4.8 apg on 28.4 fga. 28.4x0.85=24.14 FGA

[damecurry]

Yeah, this feels like the right pick, especially since I just had the other guy I'm considering. Give me:



Grant Hill. Elite rebounder and especially passer for the position, 21 ppg all on under 16 FGA. I'm happy with that as my 1st pick here.

[DroppinDimes]

I'm going to try not to overthink this so give me:


Manu Ginobili

and


Paul Pierce

[damecurry]

Anthony Davis

Since big-men are flying I wanna grab a good one and AD fits fantastically with Hill imo, PnR with these two will be filthy.

[wackbone]

I went back and forth between a few guys here. I am going to take a guy with high basketball IQ and a championship pedigree. Give me The Baby-Faced Assassin, Isiah Thomas.

Season stats: 1984-1985 - 21.2 ppg, 13.9 apg, 4.5 rpg, 2.3 spg.

[janmagn]

Robert Parish

Your turn
