All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

[beanfigger]

I was wondering when KJ would go.

[allblackraven]

Good pick in Gilmore. I've had him in mind for several rounds.

Thanks - I figured this was my last opportunity to get him. Malone, Hayes, Webber and A-Train - that's plenty to deal with on both sides of the court. I am happy size wise and not afraid of anybody.

I was wondering when KJ would go.

Didn't think he would drop to me and am surprised about it. Maybe guys just don't like politicians?

 

I was absolutely in love with that Suns team of mid 90's.

Richard Dumas next?

[SecretAgentMan]

Ralph was a dominant center for the first 6 or so years of his career.. I'll take those 6 years.

I'll give you three seasons, maybe four. I don't know about six, but those first three were really awesome.

[allblackraven]

Richard Dumas next?

Lol, you remember him! He actually played great when they made finals. I know it's addiction/sickness but 'b' after 'm' in his surname would suit him well.

[Inqui]

 

The OTB select:



Alex English, SF

 

And it's you again.

[SecretAgentMan]

And I'll take those first 4 easily....

[beanfigger]

If we were allowed to include college years, that's the best pick of the draft. I hate when injuries kill such a talented career. Same with Walton and Hill.

[SecretAgentMan]

This is what I think of Gilmore getting taken before me.

[beanfigger]

This is what I think of Gilmore getting taken before me.

I'm not even 30, yet, and I don't know what that is.

[Ed_Reed20]

Lol. At least I have an excuse, since I'm way over 30.

 

Is that SAM speaking or Sampson?

Not to mention Penny Hardaway.

[MoveThoseChains]

All-Time NBA Draft. College years don't count haha

[MoveThoseChains]

Need some scoring off the bench. Mullin fits the bill. 

[beanfigger]

The Dream Team (at least the NBA players from the Dream Team) is finally all selected. I'll be picking in a couple minutes.

[beanfigger]

Stoudemire was not the highest-rated player on my board by any means, but with the contemporary players dropping like flies, I knew I had to get him now. Using the best stretch of a career and taking all these current players already, I'm surprised he wasn't long gone to begin with.

[Gordo52]

Love the Ben Wallace pick

[Birdest]

Are we drafting coaches too?

[-Truth-]

Are we drafting coaches too?

No.

[allblackraven]

I take

 

Dikembe Mutumbo, C

 

Mutombo was selected earlier.

[beanfigger]

I went the wrong order. All of a sudden people are going back to the good old days. I thought Inqui was gonna steal my guy, but it was Truth. Archibald this late may be the steal of the draft.

I can think of another guy who's still in play that'd be a legit case for the biggest steal.

 

Archibald was on my shortlist, but I probably would have gone with Arizan anyway as there are still about 12 PGs I like. I really wanted Mullin with my previous pick, as he was the last SF I jotted down before the draft began. Back to the drawing board on that front.

I have a feeling the wait before my next pick is going to be killer for me to watch. Stoudemire was so sick for that 4-5 year span when he was All-NBA, but I probably should have waited to see if he'd fall another round.

[MoveThoseChains]

I think he could've been available another round, but who knows? Maybe not. I wasn't considering drafting Stoudemire, but then again I already have two power forwards. I actually have his #32 Phoenix Suns jersey back when Nike made NBA jerseys. This one to be exact.

Calvin is who I was afraid of snatching him. He's taking all the young guys. I should have played the odds and known Tiny had virtually no shot at dropping back to me. On the bright side, I went small early on, but if you check my depth at the 4/5 positions, it's ridiculous now. If you have bigs who can't shoot free throws, I have a TON of fouls to give. All my guys can grab boards, too. This worked out okay for me.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Sorry y'all, I searched Mutumbo in the thread and he didn't show up so I picked him. Should have checked the first page

Don't worry. It caught me too. It wasn't until I googled his name that I learned it was spelled Mutombo.
