And see, heres where I disagree with you. Have we seen the kid play a single NBA game yet? Your expectations unfortunately come across as rather lofty to me. I think you would've been better off using Garnett ( a great player) as your 4, and drafting a lockdown SF. But hey, its your team, not mine.

Derrick Favors is a good basketball player. That doesn't mean he'd get drafted in this thing. And as to who...if it really needs to be asked, then...

I mean, if we're playing by these rules, I'm going with Len Bias as my first choice when I get to selecting my guys.

KG handled the ball, ran the offense, scored inside and out and did everything for Minnesota. He can play SF or PF and have an advantage at either spot. There are plenty of players who played both forward positions: Larry Bird, Danny Manning, AK, etc. Are you saying that Magic and Lebron can't play at SF because they're PGs?

Did I draft Derrick Favors? So now Wade, Durant, and Shaq are on the same level as Favors?
I don't follow your logic. Plus you avoided the question. Who should I have drafted instead of Durant and Wade in particular? Or do you just drive by and make a bunch of idiotic comments.
I have a size, length, quickness advantage at every position on the floor. Seven players are All NBA first team: Wilt, KG, Nique, Penny, Tim Hardaway and Latrell Sprewell, plus Yao, Kukoc and Davis playing spot minutes.
If you think you can stop my guys from scoring, good luck.
If you think you can score easily on my guys, good luck.
If you think you can out-rebound my guys or keep up with them, good luck.

This.
All the starters are high-percentage shooters and natural scorers, quite often with a size advantage. I've already got Kukoc off the bench. I don't need Peja.
The defense is anchored by KG (8x defensive first team) and Wilt. KG's the lead defender, and I can rotate in Kukoc, Amare and Davis however I like.
My expectation for Davis is that he'll challenge shots, hustle and finish at the rim. That's a pretty safe assumption, given what he did in the Olympics.
Lebron and Magic have played every position on the floor, except center. Having players that can play multiple positions is an advantage. It means that you can focus on an 8-man rotation and keep the talent level higher.
In the playoffs, you go by match-ups. Other teams frequently guarded Karl Malone with centers or guarded Stockton with SGs or even SFs.

Your first three picks are solid. You lost a bit of focus with a couple later picks, but I like your team.
Getting blow-back from these guys isn't a bad thing.

The blowback that I'm getting is no one has any respect for modern day players. I don't understand the resentment. I think basketball is pretty good these days. We had a crappy era with the Iverson's, Marbury's, Francis's, etc... But it's back, and there are some fine basketball players that will go down as some of the best ever in this era.
I also think people over glamorize retired ball players, and conjure up a false images of them. You know, The older I get the better they were mentality.
And that is the difference.

With my last pick, I select...
CHRIS BOSH

-1x NBA Champion
- 7x All-Star
- Averaged 22+ points for five straight years
Bosh will help spread the floor and rebound in his limited minutes, and he's become a decent defender. He'll fit nicely.

It's a good idea.
I think maybe the top 8 should be decided by those who took part in the draft. You would not be able to include your own team. Then the top 8 tournament is voted on the the general public. Is that better or worse?
