Elan had 4 picks this round? His team better have the best starting lineup bc his bench is rough.

[MENTION=1066]Thee jazz fan[/MENTION] is on the clock.

 

[Coach Ellis]

David Robinson is pretty much off the table at this point. None of the offers came even close to the value I was looking for.

I will still listen to trade offers for Alex English before I make my last pick.

 

[elan_prodigy]

Chris Paul/Ben Simmons
Kyle Korver (O)/Michael Cooper (D)
Larry Bird/Toni Kukoc
Chris Bosh (O/S)/Bobby Jones (D)
Rudy Gobert/Bill Laimbeer (S)

(O): Offensive option
(D): Defensive option
(S): Stretch option

I sold the house for Rudy early... spent the whole draft wheeling and dealing to move back up through the rounds. Found some gems late though.

I don't think Rudy is a top-10 all time center YET. I think he will be, but given that the voters are going to be almost all Jazz fanz, it was a good call.

 

[addictionary]

I'm automatically voting against anyone who picked a player who's yet to play a full season in the NBA.

You got a glimpse of his talent though. I personally will set the bias aside and consider if he can play or not. Of course never witnessing these guys against actual NBA stars is a big downside, but even if this eliminates their contribution to your decision, there are still 9 more guys on that team that you can checkout.

I have seriously never heard of this dude. No idea who this is

Good. Don't trade the admiral for anything less than a second rounder.

Total ****ing stud. Offense, defense, inside, outside, leadership. Dude could drop 50 points, 20 rebounds, and 6 blocks in a game and I wouldn't be surprised. I think he is underrated and gets lost at the top of these drafts.

Looked at his stats during the draft they were underwhelming for any era let alone the one he's in he should be putting in better numbers IMO

Ben Simmons does nothing for me. Never saw him play in college..... never saw him play in the NBA.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

My team

Patrick Ewing/ Jermaine O'Neal
Dennis Rodman / Larry Nance senior
Kawhi Leonard / Bernard King
Clyde Drexler/ Mitch Richmond
Damien Lillard/ Kevin Johnson

Did you watch the video's then?? Dude is all HEART!

Bobby Jones was one of the most admired defenders ever to wear an NBA uniform; he was also considered one of the most virtuous. While most other players depended on the occasional thrown elbow, hip-check, or grab of the uniform to gain an advantage, Jones relied on hustle and determination.

Jones's coaches used to marvel that he was so good at the things they had trouble getting many other players to do at all, such as block shots, move without the ball, hustle back on defense, tip passes, dive after loose balls, give up an open outside shot so a teammate could hit from inside—all the things that rarely, if ever, show up in a box score. Jones was as unselfish as a player could be, so much so that coaches had to implore him to take more shots.

What that work added up to was a 12-year pro career that featured eight selections to the NBA All-Defensive First Team; the first-ever NBA Sixth Man Award; membership on the ABA All-Rookie Team; four appearances in the NBA All-Star Game and one in the ABA All-Star Game; and perhaps most prized, an NBA Championship with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983. Above all, Jones's value as a player was evidenced by the fact that his teams never missed the playoffs.

"Bobby Jones gives you two hours of his blood, showers and goes home," former Sixers General Manager Pat Williams told NBA Today. "If I was going to ask a youngster to model after someone, I would pick Bobby Jones." Added longtime 76ers teammate Julius Erving, "He's a player who's totally selfless, who runs like a deer, jumps like a gazelle, plays with his head and heart each night, and then walks away from the court as if nothing happened."
