I also believe PGs are somewhat overrated in these all-time drafts. A point guard's job is to get teammates easy buckets, but everyone here has a starting five that can pretty much create their own shot at an elite level. Having a great defensive PG is a luxury, but I always value frontcourt defense and rim-protection more because you can always provide help if your PG is beaten off the dribble.

If this draft showed me anything it showed me that :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm[/QUOTE]
Meh, not defending Manny because he is an idiot but I don't think he has had any bad picks...Nash, Moncreif, Durant and Robinson? Those are some nice picks.
[QUOTE=AussieSteve][B]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.[/QUOTE]
already trash talking :banana:
i will go with fundamental basketball
c duncan f bird f erwing sg klay
i can change positions on offence and for defence for my forwards :rockon:

lol, McGrady shot 39% from 3 in '03. LeBron shot 41% from 3 in 2013 and by that time improved his jumper tremendously. And we all know Garnett is money from mid-range, hitting 43% from 16-23 feet in 2004. You also forgot Manu who shot 40% from 3 in 2008. My spacing is fine.
Barkley is a prototype PF, and M. Malone is a true center. It's weird seeing them all out of position. Seeing Barkley defend on the perimeter will be comedy.
Can't believe 91 Rodman hasn't been taken
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]AussieSteve & NBAGOAT, I worry about your team's overall spacing and shooting.
Edit: 100 bucks Gotter goes with Barry or Havlicek[/QUOTE]
You lose. :oldlol:
I still need an elite shooter from 3, more so than an all-around forward like Rick Barry or John Havlicek to better balance my roster.
I'm going with [b]Drazen Petrovic.[/b] As good a shooter as anyone ever.
[QUOTE=TheMan]Can't believe 91 Rodman hasn't been taken[/QUOTE]
There are a bunch of players available better than Rodman, but he can be a nice pick.

Great pick with Drazen
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]There are a bunch of players available better than Rodman, but he can be a nice pick.[/QUOTE]
Well, if you need defense and rebounding...not many are better than him, too much focus on offense with most of these picks

Great pick with Drazen[/QUOTE]
Thanks, I had been eyeing him these past few rounds.
:crazysam:
i'm wondering how far people are going be willing to reach for possibly even role player types just because they excel at rebounding, defense, and/or shooting

good pick drazen,but i don't know how much euro basketball effect about and what ifs ,Sabonis will be god :pimp:
Whitsitt asked Portland’s team physician, Dr. Robert Cook, to take a look at Sabonis’ X-rays before he arrived. Cook asked Whitsitt if he was sure his new player could play. “He said that Arvydas could qualify for a handicapped parking spot based on the X-ray alone,” Whitsitt said. ven before he came over to the NBA, Sabonis was slowed down by two ruptured Achilles and an assortment of foot, ankle, and knee injuries. The first occurred at the age of 22, in 1986, the same year Portland drafted Sabonis 24th overall.

Yeah, you definitely have to have a right balance of picking the most talented players and drafting lesser players that fill your team needs like shooting, defense etc.
The early 4th round is when you saw people drafting shooters like crazy, wasn't expecting that.

there's another strategy which you as coach could just ask your stars to scale back their shot attempts. At least for my team i dont think i'm terrible personality wise(dray and shaq are both lazy for the unimportant games so wont call each other out lol). West will likely have to be a heavy spot up shooter. Hopefully his pnr with green can have some resemblance to curry/green even though west isnt a pnr guy.
