Wade and Melo are old, but their versatility still makes them nasty on offense. A team's defense will have difficulty with that, especially if you surround those 2 with defenders. Hill is a defender who complements both wade and melo. That'd be a scary team today

Good pick in randle. Excellent PF next to Boogie.

took a lot of flack in 13.0 for taking Embiid at pick like 150...

IT3/Klay/MkG/Milsap/Embiid woulda been starting five right now for that squad.. with a very good bench of players who will be picked soon. I've had some bum teams in retrospect, but that one was a gem.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who bring up past BAT's and players they hit on, but were crucified for, without (i'm going to use that word) CONTEXT as to why they were crucified in the 1st place.

THIS IS THE 1ST SEASON EMBIID EVEN PLAYED IN AN NBA GAME!!! PICK 150ish IS A LATE 5th / EARLY 6th...IN A GAME WHICH DOESN'T ROLL OVER OR HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE NEXT!!!

Who gives a ****...Embiid was a terrible selection back then if you were actually looking to win that BAT. But if it was for your own personal gratification a year or two down the road...here's your kudos and congratulations from me! :crazy:

I am 2nd up to pick. If the guy picks before me, I can make my selection right away. Im up for the next 12 hours with work.

Hoffa last posted a couple of hours ago...hopefully he can pick soon. I just PMed him to let him know he's up.

We'll probably get stuck at Boarder Patrol for the night. He hasn't read my PM

I picked Embiid in BaT 12...obviously before he ever played in a game in Philly. But I loved him at KU and took him in the fifth round of that draft. That team wouldn't have won that year but yeah, I like to look back at some of my past teams and see where they would be. That team was nice.

Kemba
EG
Batum
AD
Embiid

Sorry, I know it's one of your pet peeves but there were no winners back then, I just built the team the way I wanted. That team would have been nice today. No kudos necessary!

I just googled the embiid 13.0 discussion. Posters saying [player who won';t be picked until several rounds from now] had more real life value than Embiid. Meanwhile, me and others calling Kemba a 6th man. LOL.

Well I'm hammered and watching hell on wheels to pass out. I am coaching and am referee for CYO basketball tomorrow. Not sure how available I'll be. Hopefully the picks come in. I'll be up early. Teacher internal alarm clock. 6 am for me on weekends, and I don't have kids.

I miss you playing bish. That's why I was trying to get you to play. You were always one of my favorite team builders. Next BAT in the summer, I'll handle the picks thread so you can play. You had the Kemba/Batum pair before Charlotte. That team is perfect

Team has one playmaker, no #1 option, and TT is a terrible fit next to Draymond. Gonna lose 85-80 every night.

Yes bring it on. Right on cue

Btw draymond averages 18/12/9 without curry in the lineup in his career..so he can do it on both end of the floor if he has to.
