All-Time NBA 10-Man Lineup Fantasy Draft

James Harden.

Like him or hate him, he can hit the 3 and space the floor, he can get inside and draw fouls and he can run the point with the second unit, while CP3 takes a breather.

Slight concerns about his willingness to play off-ball and effort on D, but as with my pick of Moses, when you have an MVP calibre player available, you take him. Harden's efforts on D have improved, and with a reduced offensive load he should be ok. Also, I have three All D players in the lineup already so we should be fine.

C- 77 Kareem
PF- 83 Moses
SF- 91 Barkley
SG- 18 Harden
PG- 08 CP3

Any of Moses, Chuck or Harden could find themselves in the 2nd unit, depending on who comes later

[QUOTE=NBAGOAT]I’m picking best player available with 18 Giannis. Likely the centerpiece of my 2nd unit and a defensive anchor too. Can play vs taller pfs instead of draymond or even with dray the minutes I sit shaq. Will find a sf later.

00 shaq
18 Giannis
16 green
West(will pick later)
09 wade[/QUOTE]

You probably mean 19 Giannis.

Good pick.When superstars are available at this point, you take them. The difference between the 5th and 7th-8th best SF all time is no where near as big as the gap between Giannis and the next best available PF or C.

Ah yea this years. It

Okay, since my team now has all the firepower possible and some good defense I'll go with [B]'08 Manu Ginobili[/B]. Gives me another shooter with crazy versatility, he can handle and pass the rock, drive and finish inside, & hit the 3. Also possesses leadership and intangibles you can't teach. I will have Manu come off the bench, a role he mastered with the Spurs.

C - '90 Ewing
F - '04 Garnett
F - '13 LeBron
G - '03 McGrady | '08 Ginobili

[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]Come on man, don't give these guys ideas. :oldlol:

But yea, there are also a bunch of great 70's players who are also available.[/QUOTE]

AussieSteve & NBAGOAT, I worry about your team's overall spacing and shooting.

i was thinking either of those guys instead of giannis but one problem is their spacing doesnt expand to 3 most likely. I think west can however and dray at least in 16 is quite good. Good thing is sf is a great shooting position among modern guys.

Was thinking of taking a PG this round, but the best PGs available didn't provide the 3 point shooting I was looking for. LeBron loves his 3 point shooters. Also love Manu, he's not the best player available, but I knew there was a chance he would be gone by the time I made my pick in the 6th round.

i had almost the same problem,previous eras players had bad 3 point shooting, i find a good pg with 33% shooting reg ,and 41% the same year in playoffs so how we will determine that :confusedshrug:

You talking about '96 GP? :oldlol:

Keep in mind the NBA had a short 3 point line that year.

You have Ewing, Garnett, LeBron, McGrady so far. Worry about your own spacing.

CP3 can hit the 3. As can Harden. You have to guard both closely out to the three point line. Both obviously can also blow past defenders who come up to them and don't need much space to make plays for others.

91 was also Barkley's jump shooting year as a 76er. He generally made mid range to long 2's if left open.
