All Time NBA Draft

[PHX]

Here he is.

A man who night after night will never let me down.

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.

No way does Dwight make it back around if I didnt take him when I did. Im hapy with my team so far.

 

[jod23]

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.

Wasnt exactly his fault. He was at the Hawks with little help. Had to first beat the great Celtics teams, then the rise of the great Pistons teams and then MJ. They never got good enough players around 'Nique for him to overcome those teams. I remember the Hawks taking the Celtics to 7 games on year and losing right at the death.

 

[jod23]

Some interesting picks being taken now...

 

[peternorth]

Time to bring some youth into my team.

With pick number 63, UKU select, Kevvy Durant

With a need to address some height at the swingman spot, Executive-Vice President-Majority Shareholder-GM Peter North decided to go with a still developing scorer.

imagine this. Magic gets the ball from the rebounding Admiral. 2 steps down the court. launches a 70 foot bounce pass through traffic. It seems out of reach for any mere mortal, but not for teh wingspan of the durantula who sticks out his mitt and in one graceful motion stuffs the ball (assist johnson)

his rebounding is improving, and should get better with age.

A blistering % from the field and 3pt range is somewhat sullied by his decreasing click from the line.

this guy could be a smoky

 

[jod23]

With the 64th pick in the All Time NBA Draft... the Jodzilla Thrillers select.

Grant Hill

Did you forget??

[youtube]5UoJgDz-xnk[/youtube]

Before ankle injuries ruined a future HOFer, probably a future MVP and NBA Champ, Grant Hill was Lebron before Lebron.

His 6 years in Detroit before the ankle.

21.5 ppg
7.85 rpg
6.25 apg
1.59 spg

Freak. IMO, you have Bird, Dr.J, Pippen, Baylor, Worthy... Hill in his prime is right in that conversation. We were robbed of one of the greats.

Prime Grant Hill > KD35.

With the 65th pick of the All Time NBA Draft the Jodzilla Thrillers select...

One third of Run TMC.

Chris Mullin

Career averages of 18.2ppg, 4.1rpg and 3.5apg but let's look at him in his prime. Over an 8 year period at GSW, during the height of Run TMC, Chris Mullin was averaging 23.68ppg, 5.03rpg, 4.35apg and 1.88spg.

Whilst those are impressive numbers the real reason Mullin makes my team is his ridic shooting abilities. I need a guy coming off my bench who can spread the floor. Career .509 from the field, .384 from distance and .865 from the charity stripe.

You double Dirk, Mullin is hitting a three. Help out defence with Howard on the block, swing it to the corner, Mullin hits a three. You triple and quadruple MJ and Mullin hits a three. As pure a shooter as you'll find.

i was looking at him with my drexler/miller/iverson/KD pick. thought he was good value, then realised he was white

 

[jod23]

Hahah I was looking at the white factor earlier and noticed I am the clear leader in white players. I have 4 out of 9 players. Mullin, Stockton, Dirk and Cousy.

rename your team to utah immediately

 

[jod23]

As far as white players go though, my four blokes are up there with the best of them.

 

[jod23]

Annnndddd you're up.

 

[peternorth]

great post, but it has nothing to do with this thread

 

[peternorth]

an unconventional pick in a game so focussed on razzle dazzle.

May I introduce you to Wesley Unseld

Famed for his rebounding, bone-jarring picks and ability to ignite a fast break with his crisp, accurate outlet passes, Unseld made up for his lack of size (6’7”) with brute strength and sheer determination.

With Mutombo and Unseld locking down the painted stuff....

dare you to come into the lane.

Wes Unseld = Kevin Love.

Jordan will still come into the lane. Cos he is Jordan. And then he will dunk on.... well everyone. Also did you watch that Grant Hill vid I put up. He really enjoyed dunking on Mutombo. Every highlight was him dunking on Dikembe, then Mourning, then Dikembe again, then Ewing.

Seriously though nice pic. I looked at Unseld.

and then he copped an injury. unfortunately for you, you picked the injury plagued hill

seriously, how did wes drop so low/?????? i couldnt believe i got him now!! so happy with this selection

 

[PHX]

Needing some guards on my bench, I turn to . . . .

Chauncey Billups:

NBA Champion (2004)
NBA Finals MVP (2004)
5× NBA All-Star (2006–2010)
2× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2005–2006)
Mr. Big Shot.

 

[raffrox]

Just gettiong ready to make my next picks...

I can't believe [insert player name here] was still available. He's easily better than [insert player that was just picked two picks before here].

My team is going to pwn yours.

 

[Messenger]

As my back up PG I'm taking Kevin Johnson, one of the very best of the late 80's - early 90's. Some scoring energy in the second team and should complement Worthy nicely.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

i select Billy Cunningham

NBA Champion (1967)
5× NBA All-Star (1969–1973)
3× All-NBA First Team (1969–1971)
All-NBA Second Team (1972)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (1966)
ABA MVP (1973)
All-ABA First Team (1973)
NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team
ABA All-Time Team
#32 Retired by the Philadelphia 76ers
As Coach:
NBA Champion (1983)

 

[raffrox]

Just re-watched Game 4 of the 1993 NBA Finals (Bulls vs Suns) and there's no way that Pippen was better than Barkley. Barkley, like Jordan was a one man offense as well as the guy that just pulled off the big plays.

 

[PP34]

I'll do my pick later today.
