2013 CB Historical Draft Thread

[Redz]

finally have a chance to check in...

I like the Kareem/Moncrief start in LA.  Two soft spoken solid leaders.  I think adding a bit of charisma is needed, but Kareem at his prime is a tough one to top in the middle.

I was never a big Issel fan, but Larry should be able to keep him scoring at will in NY.  And Larry is Larry.

The Gervin / English tandem has my early lead for most entertaining in San Diego.

But if you were to force me to choose best base after the first two rounds I'd have to go with Magic & Bernard King in KC.  There are just so many ways you could build around those two.  Magic gives you so much flexibility. 

All in all, lots of fun ideas to work with.

I like the Artis Gilmore pick (I think maybe the most underrated center ever), but I wonder if he would have been there a little later due to that underratedness.

Kane, I am assuming your pick to start the 3rd round will be Kiki Vandeweghe?

Our thinking on this was that he'd be great alongside McAdoo as an offense/defense tandem. He was the best big man available, and moving back a spot or two was going to be too difficult. Sure, Tiny may have been BPA, but our strategy all along was to build around the bigs.

I had Gilmore in my sights.

He's so big, he's hard to keep out of your line of vision for too long.

If you look at issel and the production he put up then it's not hard to see why I took him. Hes a hall of famer. Plus Bird and him will play great together. Both all out effort and heart all the time. It will set the tone for the culture of my team.

Personal prejudice.  He was a heck of a Player.  He just always bugged me for some reason.

Some talk about the DJ/zeke tandem. Once it became clear I wasn't going to get either of the bigs. I targeted a player I thout complimented Zeke. I agree bigs are important in this draft, but I think I can pick up some quality bigs in the coming rounds.

I understand. Hopefully not a majority thing lol.

Looking to move up this round.



I have the 8th pick.

I think there's a lot of quality bigs left and the backcourt you have is probably going to be one of the best in the game. You know what though? There is one center left that led his team to a championship that I believe would be perfect fit for this team and pretty much erase any concerns I would have.

[nickagneta]

The draft can start anytime anyone is ready.

Kane doesn't seem to be online and didn't leave me a list, don't know if he left his pick with anyone else.

I hate to skip anyone but Kane is skipped.

[wdleehi]

I wonder if we see a sudden rush of picks.

That means I'm up.

Well, he may be a reach but here it goes.

With the 3rd selection, Los Angeles selects Michael Cooper to bolster the defense, since scoring won't be a problem with the Lakers anyways.


"Yeah!"

We will select his 1986-87 season in which he won DPOY. Multiple DPOY's on this team, yeah!
