Birdest

Move the Chains K Coast squad breakdown:

 

Starters: Bob Cousy (best value), Dwyane Wade (biggest reach), Scottie Pippen, Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuwon

 

Bench: Guards - Walt Frazier, Hal Greer, Manu Ginobili

            Forwards - Chris Mullin, Jerry Lucas, Kevin Love

            Center - Marcus Camby

 

Let me first say that picking Wade as a reach is by default. He's a good player, but all the other picks were on point. I had to pick one. Waiting on a PG for so long and still landing Cousy is nuts, and the rest of us should be ashamed to let it happen. You certainly focused on defense more than the rest of us, but it was not so much a detriment to the other end because your guys can still do damage offensively. Your late round picks were all luxury selections after giving yourself such a stacked lineup, so no problems there, either. You mixed some of your personal favorites with some of the all-time greats from history, and you did a solid job grabbing players from all eras.

 

Biggest strength: All around talent at each position. You can beat teams in so many ways with so many different players. Your 1-2-3 can run with anyone; your 4-5 can bang down low; you have both shooters and defenders on your bench for whatever the situation calls for. It would be really hard to game plan for a team like this.

 

Biggest weakness: I'm nitpicking here, but I'd say post-play depth. Your starting 4 and 5 can certainly hold their own down low, but if either was off or found themselves in foul trouble, you'd be in trouble in that area. This is especially true if The Dream had to sit for a spell, as you don't have much in terms of offense to sub in. However, planning to play him nearly all game is certainly not a poor idea. He's the man.

 

Starters A-   Bench A-   Overall A-

Imagine Walt Frazier - Dwyane Wade - Scottie Pippen - Kevin McHale - Hakeem Olajuwon. I think he has the best defense in this draft.

Picked Lebron of the 70s

Do me bean. 

I'm up for drafting 15 players.

Wait, am I picking 2??

Edit: nevermind, I thought I forgot to draft a guy in my 11th round.

And I remember Truth saying that ABA years are counted so I just picked a guy who is 9th on all time points scored.

I really liked the Stephen Curry pick too, I think he has the chance to go down as the greatest shooter in nba history.

Wilkens. Last Top 50 player, and we're 116 picks in. Bargain shopping.

Great pick. It was him or Issel but I picked Issel because I really needed to get my stretch 4 guy to let Shaq go wild.

I was gonna go with him the next round if he wasn't taken because he's one of the best playmakers of all time.

I hope he doesn't take my pick.

Wow stretch 4s are getting picked left and right, I need one soon. Hey Calvin are you still on? or did you forget that you are supposed to pick 2?

Good pick with Sheed.

Your depth of talent is leagues above most of the teams. Great picks.

Thanks. I've always wanted to pick Bing since he had the same mentality as Lebron, he has the ability to score 35 every night but didn't because he was too unselfish and wants to make his teammates better.

If you have not taken Bob Pettit at 38th, my team would have been really different.

You are on the clock - 2 more hours to pick before you are skipped.

Oh shoot.

Just explaining my picks...

Great pick and great job [profanity] up my last pick.

Went with Manu here. Proven winner, loves the game of basketball, and is a great player for any team. Truly cares about team basketball. Doesn't care about stats either, and if he did, I'm sure his stats would be better than they are.

I'll tell you this, you say he's a reach but he's far, far from the worst player taken thus far in the draft.

I hope it's not one of my guys.

Wow, The BIg D's gone. Great pick, one of the best defenders in nba history.

Are we drafting coaches too?

Literally took him right out of my hands. Bummer.

Great pick with Wes Unseld though. Arguably the best outlet passer and his impact in the game is definitely more than what his stats say.

No, he was available. Good pick and you get a bonus point for not picking my target!

 

BTW, you can check all the players selected on the "Draft" thread, page 1 at the top.

It wasn't updated so I had to look up for the recent picks to make sure that he wasn't picked yet. 

I hope he's not taken yet.

Who's picking?

Changed my pick to Pierce.

Hehe, my bad. Changing my pick.

Can someone explain Reggie Miller to me, never got to appreciate his career.

He probably wanted him because he is one of the greatest shooters of all time and can arguably space the floor better than anybody.

Wow, I really need a point guard.
