2018 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[spycam1]

Chill out, I've been on this thread all day, heavily debating between two guys and spy didn't make it easier on me...I'll pick in the next 5 minutes.

I think I know the other guy you're talking about; I considered taking them both too. But in the end, I felt that a great two-way center has such a unique impact on the game of basketball. And combining Wade/Zo just felt right

Elgin Baylor

One of the all time greats. Elite shooter, elite scorer, supreme athlete, lead his team to the finals 8x, dropped 61 points in a finals game and was an all around great player. If more video of him existed he would be thought of even higher than he is.

Where do you get elite shooter from?

The fact that he was and the fact that Jerry West said "He was one of the most spectacular shooters the game has ever known."

We're definitely talking about the same players lol I thought for sure you'd take one or the other.

Back to you, @Ron Mexico

 

[Ron Mexico]

Well this is a reach to some of you, but I think he is one of the best 2 way bigs ever and I like his fit so I am going for it.

"The Process"

Protects the rim and plays defense at Goberts level with elite offense as well. There are very few bigs ever that can play defense as well as him and shoot the ball from anywhere and create for himself. Stockton would have wet dreams for days if he had Embiid and Anthony Davis to pick and roll with.

 

[Ron Mexico]

@tfivas is back on the clock.


Guess you were wrong again about how many picks we would get through @Thee jazz fan. Not only did we get through that many picks, it didnt take all night. It took 15 min.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I have picks 67 & 68 I’m looking to move up.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

@tfivas OTC then @Spycam

Great pick. I STOLE him last year in the 5th round at pick 78.

 

[gandalfe]

It amuses me that I now have 2 of the most workman-like players (Russell, McHale) and 2 of the flashiest (Pistol Pete, Dr J).

 

[RandyForRubio]

Thee, I hate your team.

You must hate Hakeem.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Thee, I hate your team.

You must hate Hakeem.

Oh my apologies Thee! I thought you took Dominique.

One Love, I hate your team. The hell are you doing?

 

[Jazz and Utes]

Trade

Elan gets:
51 and 132

Fivas gets:
56 and 120

@White Chocolate @elan_prodigy

He also wants me to make his pick for him.

 

[Jazz and Utes]

Elan selects the other guy I was debating between....
