Man. You guys are missing out on some solid all-nba players focusing too much on defense

[QUOTE=DaHeezy]Man. You guys are missing out on some solid all-nba players focusing too much on defense[/QUOTE]
Who are your next two picks?
Ill take another defensive anchor with Alonzo Mourning.
I need a gunner so I'll reach here with Glen Rice
[QUOTE=DaHeezy]Man. You guys are missing out on some solid all-nba players focusing too much on defense[/QUOTE]
A.I. and Wilkins were on the board for so long for a reason. They are great scorers, but don't provide much defense, shooting, & passing. They are one-dimensional. You have a very talented team, but other than Stockton and Rice, you don't have 3 point shooting.

1977 Bobby Jones: 15|8|3|2|2 on 57 fg% | All-NBA Defensive First Team
One of the most overlooked players in history, actually just got into the basketball HOF. One of the all-time great defenders in history, made the All-Defensive First Team 10 times, 8 in the NBA, 2 in the ABA. One of the few players to average 2 steals and 2 blocks in a season. His 6'9" size, hustle, and underrated athletic ability allowed him to guard multiple positions on the floor... forwards, guards, and even some centers.

C - '90 Ewing
F - '04 Garnett | '77 B. Jones
F - '13 LeBron | '05 Bowen
G - '03 McGrady | '08 Ginobili
G - '03 Kidd | '17 Irving
Decided to start Kidd since I need more scorers like Kyrie to come off the bench. I'm loving my defensive versatility, Garnett-LeBron-Jones-Bowen-Kidd can all guard multiple positions on the floor at a high level and I have Ewing as a rim protector. Also like the spacing and shooting I have with Irving, McGrady, Ginobili, & Bowen, I can go small ball with them with LeBron at the 4 and Ewing or Garnett at the 5.

I'm fuming righy now. Bobby Jones was going to be my last pick! He was like Dennis Rodman on D. Except he wasnt a head case. Did everything and put it all on the floor every game. He was the epitome of effort when it comes to defense.

Considered him over kirilenko too but decided kirilenko making a few 3s was worth it. Might have been a mistake, Bobby
I addressed a sore spot with my last pick: interior defense, ferocious rebounding, but I still need size and athleticism and shooting. Clutch shooting, especially if I want to play a pass happy Chamberlain for 40 minutes a game.
[B]
Robert Horry.
[/b]
He checks all of the boxes. Can play off a dominant center, play weak side defense or slow down a feisty forward one on one, nasty putback dunks, and hit the biggest shots of the game.

I do, too.
So, push out KD and Kawhi I'm assuming?
Pau gasol
For my first pick, I
The final piece to my front court is the heart, soul and backbone of the Knicks' 1970 and 1973 championship teams:
[B]Willis Reed ‘70[/B]
Reed was very tough and strong inside defensively, possessing a soft touch around the rim, and deadly with his jumpshot from 15 feet. Reed was very effective at setting picks to free up teammates, which will give Karl Malone, Hondo, Worthy and Drexler the keys to the kingdom.
Basketball Hall of Famer
2x NBA Champion ‘70, ‘73
2x NBA Finals MVP ‘70, ‘73
1x NBA MVP ‘70
7x NBA All-Star
1x All-NBA First Team
4x All-NBA Second Team
1x NBA All-Defensive First Team ‘70
Can we all post our rosters as we head into the final round?

[QUOTE=RRR3]Kyle Korver? :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
What's funny?
You need guys who can play off ball and can spot up.Y ou can't just have a bunch of ball dominant high usage superstars and expect it to work out
Korver is perfect for that, 50% from 3 and decent defender

[QUOTE=NBAGOAT]i didnt pick sabonis. Carter was my 9th pick[/QUOTE]
ok i edit it
I believe me and iamgine have the best teams so far. Just my opinion though.
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]I believe me and iamgine have the best teams so far. Just my opinion though.[/QUOTE]
I created the best possible team around Jordan
My team would be the hardest to score on with a bench that can put up buckets.
I'll take Jimmy Butler
Ben Wallace
Mookie Blaylock
Final roster
PG - Nash | Blaylock
SG - Moncrief | Korver
SF - Marion | Hill
PF - KD | Lewis
C - Robinson | Dwight
I don't care what anyone says i have the best team of the draft, perfect balance of everything
Some of ya'll are running with too many ball handlers, lack of shooting or players that don't even fit in todays era. My team is perfectly constructed
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]I believe me and iamgine have the best teams so far. Just my opinion though.[/QUOTE]
You yes but no to imagine
best teams imo, not in order are
1987 lakers
soubeach
nba goat
da heezy
aussie steve
