All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

In totally unrelated news, I've just watched Guardians of Galaxy and it was hillarious. I haven't had such fun since the Avengers. And it was even better IMHO.
 
Didn't post this at the time cos I was making the pick & working at the same time, but Pippen really did guard positions 1-5. LeBron is probably the only other player who could do that effectively.

1 through 3 yes. Never saw him guard centers, and he couldn't have guarded Malone when he was younger. By the time of this vid Malone was pretty much a perimeter player. Your over exaggerating a little

I was just going off of the quote by Jordan at the beginning of the vid. Probably couldn't realistically guard a Center you're right, LOL .. he did pretty well fronting & blocking/stealing from PFs in the vid though if u watch it.
 
With my next pick. I choose the Jordan stopper

His name is the Glove.

Watching these highlights of Isiah and the way he could get into the paint at will and create for others reminded me of Exum.

Exum is gonna be a 6'6 Isiah Thomas bros

Didn't someone just draft him??
 
My inbox is cleared. I have two of my targets still on the board, but I'll listen to offers for 39. Patrick Ewing might be on the trade block too. I'll try to not take too long to decide.
