Sorry for taking ages, it (maybe) won't happen again.

I need a guard so I'm going with another Celtic - Sam "the shooter" Jones.

10 times NBA Champion (2nd only to Bill Russell)
17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game
Dude was clutch as ****

Carry on...

[raffrox]

Well I guess you need someone to stop Jordan...

4 x Denfensive 1st team, 2 x Denfensive 2nd team, a couple of championships andthe guy who Jordan said was the toughest defender.

I just picked this vid for the music.

Like the idea of re-uniting Isiah and Dumars in the backcourt.

PG: Isiah Thomas
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Bob Pettit
C: Patrick Ewing
Bench: ‘Pistol’ Pete Maravich
Bench: Artis Gimore
Bench: Joe Dumars

 

[peternorth]

regarding joe, if he doesnt work out for you on the team you can always shift him to the back office

 

[JP Sauce]

Strongly considered Joe for my last pick.

 

[JP Sauce]

My next pick is this guy:

Career averages:
13.3 points, 10.5 boards, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks

But if you take just his Portland years (before foot injuries occurred even more often) then Walton averaged an amazing:
17.1 points, 13.5 boards, 4.4 assists and 2.6 blocks.

1 time NBA MVP, 2 time NBA Champion, 1 time Finals MVP, 1 time 6th man of the year, hilarious broadcaster, etc.

Plus, he comes with a free bench warmer for the rest of my team.

C - Hakeem Olajuwon
PF - Charles Barkley
SF - John Havlicek
SG - George Gervin
PG - Oscar Robertson

Elvin Hayes
Sam Jones
Bill Walton

With my next pick I select another underrated player in my opinion. This player is often forgotten about because of the greatness of the Boston Celtic Big 3. I select DJ

Dennis Johnson, a three time NBA champion,a finals MVP and a six time NBA All Defensive selection and a three time NBA All Defensive second team member. This man deserves a lot of credit than he gets. DJ locked down the other teams best guard and would run the offense to perfection. Hitting shots when they were there and dishing it off to the Big 3 when they were open. R.I.P Dennis.

EDIT: This guy is probably one of the most underrated players of all-time. Watching 80s Celtics games makes you realise how valuable and great he was to that team.

 

[nufan]

Another quality pick nbaman.

Although so far all the picks have been quality, just not in the order I would have thought

 

[PP34]

Yeah most of the picks have been good. The order has been strange though but I think it's because of team needs. At first most took the best available and then built around that player.

Just wondering which picks are most different from the order you'd have.

 

[nufan]

Just wondering which picks are most different from the order you'd have.

I understand the premise of this draft is to build a TEAM of all stars.

Picks that overall shocked me are.

Dwight ahead of Moses.
Pippen ahead of Barkley
Wilkins slipping to 32 (subjective bias) Especially one pick after Drexler.
Payton going before Nash. (although understand the defensive reasoning for it)

I thought Thurmond would've gone much higher. And Parish is still un drafted.

This draft is all opinion based. Peoples opinions will obviously differ from mine.

But thank you raffrox for picking the Pistol.

Edit* Screw differing opinions, If Blake Griffin gets chosen I'll riot

 

[JP Sauce]

I really, REALLY wanted the Pistol.

 

[jod23]

Picks that overall shocked me are.

Dwight ahead of Moses.
Pippen ahead of Barkley

I took Dwight Howard because I want defence. Moses Malone is a 3 time MVP. That is great an all. Can score and rebound. But i want someone who can defend. I dont need a 3 time MVP when I already have a 5 time MVP and the greatest scorer of all time in MJ. If it was best available im sure a lot of picks get chosen differently but it's what a team needs.

As for Pippen v Barkley. Straight up and this might be controversial. I think Pippen is a better player, flat out, than Charles Barkley.

As previously stated

It is pretty subjective because I reckon thats about right for Dominique. A hell of a player but never a winner and only a great on the offensive end. SLAM had Drexler one pick before Nique too.

I'd take Barkley before Pippen. The guy was a freak of nature. No one could do what he could do in his prime at his size. Pippen was the best fit for the greatest player of all time but Barkley was a superstar in his prime.

Heaps had been said about Dwight vs Moses so I'll leave that.

 

[peternorth]

moses is a closer

 

[PHX]

I took Dwight Howard because I want defence.

Of course but in my opinion with the big reach to Dwight to achieve this, if you didnt take Dwight that early you still would have got him had you held off to your next pick (but probably even your next pick after that) and chosen Pippin to play beside Jordan.

 

[peternorth]

i have it on good authority that dwight would not have been available come his next pick

 

[Messenger]

So is it my pick then?

 

[PHX]

Yeash.

 

[Messenger]

Yeash.

Okaaay then. Had a few other things on today.

Chris Webber is my pick: overpaid for sure, but a nice back up forward.
