Before we get too far in the draft, what is the actual definition of 'peak play?

Does 1 season count?

Is 2 seasons the minimum?

A lot of guys had great outlier seasons that don't really align with their primes..

This is very very tough.

I'm going with Bird because I feel he fits in any system and any era. His 3 year peak from 84-86 he won 3 straight MVPs and was a high IQ defender. GOAT tier shooter, GOAT tier passer, GOAT toughness, clutch, and intangibles.

I'm going with big dick Bird.

Wally450 my guy you're on the clock :rockon:

Bird would be even more valuable in today's NBA. Would be a top 3 3 point shooter and probably best overall shooter. That coupled with his GOAT passing and genius IQ/quick thinking and he's the best player in today's NBA easily

Only peak LeBron could compete with Larry in today's game

Nobody took the greatest winner in NBA history... the guy that used to vomit before games because he was so worked up wanting to win so badly... the guy who single handedly made a bunch of his teammates into HOFers... probably the goat defensive player and a guy who would never disrupt your offense and get the ball up the court as fast as possible so the wings could flourish... the only guy with more rings than fingers, who won the title on every level of basketball imaginable and the guy that personally kicked Wilt's ass too many times to count.

Walton would have been my choice if D-Rob wasn't available, I like that D-Rob has the athleticism to play some perimeter defense if caught on a switch so I went with him.

Walton has an underrated peak by casuals while many people overlook just how dominant D-Rob was as a defender.

I knew Drob wouldn't fall to the 3rd round, it was a good pick for you. Definitely got some great athleticism so far.

Walton isn't an other world athlete but he's a very mobile big, and I'm going for a high IQ/quick decision making team and Walton fits perfect. Outside of Jokic I'm not sure there's a better passing big.

I feel like rim protection is paramount in a draft like this, so having two high IQ and mobile rim protectors like Duncan/Walton is huge.

The value is great, the fit with magic is iffy.

But he gives you elite perimeter defense at the least which your team needed.

Totally agreed about the fit with Magic, which made me a little hesitant about taking him. But I think what Wade provides makes him worth it. Plus I'd hate to see someone else snag him :lol

You have to wonder at what point do you start going with "fit" rather than drafting the most talented. It's a concept I've struggled with in these past drafts.

I really considered it here, but I just couldn't in good conscience pass up Wade in the 4th round. He's usually taken 1-2 rounds before that, and in his prime he really was just that good. Imo if the talent advantage is significant enough, I'd usually take talent over fit. Wade was at minimum a clear level above whoever else I was considering. And like I said, I also didn't want to cede him to someone else.

In drafts like these I feel there's a deep enough talent pool to be thinking about fit/philosophy from the jump. There's a lot of extremely talented guys left... but I won't pick them in any round because fit/philosophy is more important.

Bill Russell is the greatest defender of all time. He qualified for the Olympics and was a tremendous track and field athlete. He can guard any position, especially PFs and Cs.

If the issue is a lack of spacing I disagree. My backcourt is loaded with shooting. If the Warriors get away with playing Draymond and Looney, I think I'll manage with Shaq and Bill.

I would be just as excited to watch that team defensively. 3 of the smartest and best help defenders ever in Duncan/Walton/Bird and McGrady whose defensive potential would be fully maximized not having to carry a huge offensive load load like he did in Orl.

To be fair, draft picks are also influenced by who takes which player before you. For instance, I didn't dream of drafting Moses Malone so early but when every single center got snatched up I didn't really have a choice. Sometimes your drafting order is about who was taken before you. I imagine if the draft started out guard heavy then Robertson would have gone sooner.

In a peak draft a lot of guys will be passed up.

I think most didn't want his ball dominance and lack of shooting. For most teams he's just not an ideal fit as they don't need his scoring and usage.

But as a bench piece it's obviously a great pick

Ok, I noticed alot ot twin tower lineups in this draft so I need a PF who is a great low post defender who can also step outside the paint and shoot 3s to make it uncomfortable for these bigs who are not used to defending outside the paint. Rasheed Wallace.

KG is on record saying Sheed was his hardest match up as a pro and he also gave Duncan a hard time in the Finals.

Amazing talents but just weird fits overall.

- little spacing between your Cs and PFs.

- How valuable is Russell on defense when you have my guy Rasheed pulling him away from the rim?

- GOAT tier shooting from you guards but bad defense.

- How valuable is a guy like Ewing when you have Shaq already playing nearly 40 mpg?

1. I don't think it's a big deal. There are teams even today that get away with two non-shooters, such as GSW, San Antonio and Miami. I think Nash and Miller alleviate these concerns to a degree, and I have Malone and Ewing on the bench. Both of them are good mid-range shooters.

It all comes down to the matchups and the offensive scheme we run. I'd have Bill playing like Draymond in the half-court: setting screens and passing. I envision him screening for Reggie or Nash, getting the ball on the short roll/elbow, and playing a high-low game with Shaq who has the alley-oop/post seal.

Even if he is a slight negative in the half-court, I still think his GOAT-level defense and transition game was too great to pass up.

2. Rasheed isn't a good enough 3pt shooter that it matters that much. Bill's recovery and closeout speed will suffice. Even if it were, I could change up my defensive scheme or lineup. However, I back the GOAT defensive player.

3. Guard defense isn't that great of a concern compared to other more essential needs. I've still got 3 picks left and there are plenty of guys I can get perimeter defense from. I needed extreme levels of shooting, gravity, spacing, and creation from Nash and Reggie to make up for the lack of spacing upfront.

4. I'd rather play a more spread distribution of minutes. Some nights Shaq's going to play less. It all depends on the matchups. Ewing was too great of a player for me to pass up. His combination of defense and offensive versatility made him a no-brainer in my opinion.

I think putting Russell at the 4 instead of the 5 limits his overall impact. He's not like a draymond who in his prime provided some shooting, playmaking, and ability to guard multiple positions on the floor. Russell was your classic rim protector, probably the GOAT at it. With Shaq in there it kinda takes that away to some degree.

I also believe since Russell can't really shoot, you are making it harder for Shaq on offense, Russell's man can help out more with Shaq without facing much consequences.

Just my 2 cents.

40 minutes, so why even have bench guys if the starters are playing 40 minutes?

I'm on the outside looking in so maybe that was discussed in a previous thread.

Are we not picking the 10 best guys available or who fits a team?
I've seen guys like Gobert picked over Hall of Famers that have yet to be selected (recent guys, not guys from the 1950s.)

Sure, I agree regarding the shooting and passing, although I think Bill was a good facilitator. Regarding the defense, I think one of Bill's strengths was his mobility. He could provide tremendous help defense, being everywhere, like Robinson and KG. My true pick was going to be KG but he was taken a few picks before.

I feel like they're both so dominant on one side of the court that even if the fit isn't perfect, you're still rock-solid on both ends. At the very least, I've got some options with Malone and Ewing off the bench. I just feel so strongly in Bill's defensive prowess and athletic mobility.

I think it also depends on the era that games will be played in. My lineup would murder teams in the '60s and '70s. It would also be great in the Illegal Defense era where the rules enforced a degree of spacing.

Give me AK47, one of the most versatile players ever and would be insane in today's league.

Billips/Payton
McGrady
Bird/Mullin
Duncan/AK47
Walton/Dwight



Obviously Mullin and AK can play multiple positions.

Is he a team player? Can he shoot 3s and space the floor? Is he an elite perimeter defender? Can he guard 2s and 3s, as well as 4s at times? Name please.

I’m surprised this guy has dropped this far. I’ll take Clyde Drexler.

Definitely not the sexiest pick, and I could’ve went with a bigger star. But this guy is an extremely versatile two way player and multiple all-star who’s impact I always felt was greater than his numbers.

Al Horford

Yeah he's a Hall of Famer. He's better than Shane Battery.

I know who it is too, but he can't really defend 3s & 4s if it's the guy I'm thinking about, but yes...He's in the HOF.

BTW, as we approach the final round please post your entire team roster after you make your final selection.

He can defend 1, 2 and 3. Shane can't defend no real 4, maybe this era of stretch 4's but he not guarding Malone or McHale with much success on the block.

He played in the 80s, he can shoot 3's they just weren't a thing yet.

Tell that to Danny Ainge and another player who I'm not gonna mention because he might get drafted.

I know who your guy is, he didn't have Battier's defense, but would still be a nice pick up.

He also draws fouls and was a nightmare for Jordan, Magic, and Larry Bird...two time champion and captain of the Bad Boys...
