Well you are going to have to bench one of them...Shaq is basically a sixth man on that team

You don't think they can play together? Come on, bro!
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.
It's my turn right? I'll take Jason Kidd.
Post on the clock with 2 picks.
[QUOTE=colts19;14628090]I like your team and I like it a lot. Put Walton and Birds passing with players like McGrady, Duncan, just Wow. Then add in Billups clutch play and you have a truly great team. I remember in 1986 Bird and Walton were awesome together and Walton was about 50 percent of his prime.[/QUOTE]
Thanks
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. Just absurd size, length, and smarts. Billups also with great size and smarts on that end

so that's Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green...man that seems early for both of them
Dennis Rodman
[QUOTE=iamgine;14628309]Dennis Rodman[/QUOTE]
I was going back and forth between Dennis Rodman and Jimmy Butler so thank you for picking Rodman...Rodman had the DPOY nod but Butler's got 5 selection to go with scoring and I really need at least one current player on my team.

I'm not sure how well received old school players will be in this draft, but it'd be hard to pass up having a consensus top 15 player coming off the bench.
Oscar Robertson

I was wondering when he'd go.
Major cringe when Oscar falls to the 49th pick! :lol

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.
