ISH all-time draft thread

[QUOTE=Carbine;14937612]It's very clear to anyone willing to educate themselves. Orlando Shaq was missing a lot of intangibles, the small details in his game. He got by on his true 1 of 1 physical talent and strength.

2000 was the first time he acquired everything. He was much better at the little things, his dedication to defense was on point and just his overall mentality. I believe this was the ONLY year he put everything together in all facets of the game consistently.[/QUOTE]

I agree but I think his 2001 playoffs is just as good as 2000 but he mailed it in during the regular season.

As expected, manny's team is laughed out of the room

Yeah because I value so much the opinions of a bunch of dweebs who have never touched a basketball

[QUOTE=AlternativeAcc.;14937493]Malone destroyed Robinson in the playoffs on both ends.

But yeah, I mean, most of the guys mentioned are unstoppable anyways 1 on 1 regardless. But you're sleeping on Malones strength and IQ in the post. He would definitely bully Embiid.[/QUOTE]

I dunno. I know what he brings. It would be a trade off for sure. I was watching some Malone stuff last night for fun after thinking about this. Dude is definitely solid on offense, but I dunno if I'd take Malone at C over someone like Amare (low key surprised nobody picked him, also.) Amare was not a good defender, but he could play C. I just really dunno if Malone could play C even though he did guard Cs sometimes. His ability to hurt people is underrated, but yeah he's strong and he will punish your hands/wrists with slaps, but against someone who can block him off with his body like a center should, it would be BBQ always. You'd think that he might get a few stops (Malone was also smart at pulling the chair,) but facing him over time, they would adapt.

Also remember whenever Malone guarded some other player, he was still at PF. He had a big body like Shaq (v Duncan) or Ostertag or Eaton.

I think it would be an interesting look to use, but I don't think I'd be like... like say you put it up on realgm that you were gonna start Malone at C, I think it would be like ehhh. Who knows, I haven't looked yet, maybe they did put it that way.

I remember when jeff would ban people for posting real gm haha, rip ish!

Edit: just looked. Rip team 8 also. **** these bummies and their votes. Plus, you don't decide which is better, you put them vs each other in a playoff. Aiyee.

I think we all expected iamgine to win, but damn, that poll got like no votes :lol Definitely not enough of a sample size to determine how the rest of the teams stack up.

You are the dweeb for picking Caruso:lol

Based on the comments so far imagine, DJ, and Dank are the clear top contenders here.

Some of the comments are hilarious...:lol it is true... how people have a bias towards today's players taking them over literal past legends. Alex Caruso over Clyde Drexler. Sidney Moncrief and Moses undrafted.

RRR3 shitting on the Kobe Chris Paul Kareem team and even realGM picking them when they're known Kobe haters.

I'm pretty sure that forum also has Garnett as like the GOAT so I'm not surprised they love iamgines team. He wasn't GOAT in the playoffs though.

The poll doesn't mean shit, this is the same place that thinks Kevin Garnett is the GOAT nobody takes those idiots seriously and barely anyone voted

Reddit would have been a better choice imo

Honestly never met anyone in real life that uses real GM, bunch of caveman idiots who have never played a competitive sport

Who do you think is a better defender? Ray Allen or Tracy McGrady?

Just saw your team laid out and realized how atrocious it is.

I actually like Manny’s team. I thought he got off to a weird start after he selected Jokic, but he finished the draft strong drafting some nice defensive/shooting pieces.

[QUOTE=Manny98;14937536]Do you realize there is only one basketball, I don't need another all time great I need a guy who can play without the ball and is willing to do all the grit hustle plays that don't show up on the stat sheet

Yes I could have picked a Clyde Drexler or a James Harden but what would be the point when I already have a sufficient amount of playmakers and stars on my team

Btw my team would blow yours out the building in the first quarter with that god awful starting lineup defense that would make D'antoni proud :roll:[/QUOTE]

Yeah but you had other options...Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Bobby Jones, Sidney Moncrief, Rajan Rondo, Michael Cooper, and Tony Allen

Somebody gets it :cheers:

None of those guys fit the role I need

I guess next time I will have to dumb my thought process down and just go for the best players available

Very interesting. Of all the teams drafted, who has the worst?

When they’re at their best, tmac for sure. Allen gave a more consistent effort though
