I really like more and more Quotatious team. Robinson and McHale are fit great next to each other and we all know how great Oscar was with good bigs. Not to mention AK who is among the best defensive players available.

I don't want to face you in playoffs, at least not in the first round ;)

Cooper is my favorite Laker of all time and I was hoping I will pick him in this round. He is so perfect to this kind of game: low FGA, can play multiple positions both on offense and defense, no chemistry/fit issues too.

Robinson and McHale seem like a great fit, because both proved they could be very effective alongside other star bigs - McHale with Parish, Robinson with Cummings and Duncan.

Oh, and my three frontcourt players average 7.5 combined blocks per game - I mean '96 Robinson, '88 McHale and '04 Kirilenko, but if I wanted to maximize shot-blocking between them, and take other versions, I would end up with 9.9 bpg. :o

Ecstatic with my big 4 (Kidd/KD/Dirk/Ewing), but fully aware I'll have to squeeze for the rest of my FGA, we'll see how it goes :)

If we play, those blocks aren't going to help you against all the 3s I'll be shooting :wink: and making :wink:

Shocked that I got Billups this late. Last time he went 17 picks higher. Couldn't be happier to end up with him running point on this team.

Also sorry, I feel like I've been late with my picks holding things up today.

I dislike you.

I considered him in round three, but PG is pretty deep IMO so I went SG.

Also, while everyone is bragging about their picks- I think I've got y'all beat in terms of collective basketball intelligence. Maybe not as sexy as what some others bring to the table, but I've stocked my team full of guys who simply get it done the first time.

I think I'm up there in terms of BBIQ too mate. Nash and Walton is like putting Newton and Einstein to work on a physics experiment.

How much does Walton's BBIQ help though when Nash will be making all the decisions (although you might have a different game plan)? His finishing ability will probably be more important.

I can't speak for ardee but I'm of the opinion a team can never have too many play makers, and it helps that Nash was lethal shooting off ball. About 50% of his 3's were assisted throughout his career.

Myfavorite pick so far is AD (the OG) in the third round. The dude has serious talent, and I love that 70sfan has the moxie to go against the grain and make him a fixture on his team. I hope voters will come with an open mind enough to hear how Dantley will be used and not write him off entirely for the issues he had in his day.

BBIQ is far more than just playmaking. Screening, cutting, defensive positioning, rebounding, etc. I don't think Walton will lack for ways to contribute.

Nash could've learned to play some defense with all that IQ :wink:

I have you all beat in wingspan. Giannis singlehandedly (armedly?) has your collective teams beat

Is anybody opposed to shorter windows during the day and a cutoff during the night? I know a few posters echoed in agreement. My pick has come up twice while sleeping, not that it bothers me much.
