What's new

All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

Picking now. Write ups later.

97. SG: Earl "The Pearl" Monroe

98. C/PF: George "Mr. Basketball" Mikan

Good luck boss. Probably didn't take him.

George Mikan.. Ahh nice pick. Our coach makes us do "Mikan's" during practice, helps us with using both hands around the basket.

He's not exceptional in size and strength compared to today's athletes, but he was a man among boys in his era. Revolutionized the sport. I've got three Hall of Fame bigs who were all on the 50 best players list and champions as well. I might go with one more if I find a guy that I like still available later. Still need some defense, but I'm pretty happy with where I'm at right now.
 
I need a true bad *** on my team, and a guy who just fills up the stat sheet, a triple double waiting to happen...

With the 100th pick of the draft I select Rajon Rondo
 
My team so far. . .

Starting Five
C: Patrick Ewing
PF: Moses "Chairman of the Boards" Malone
SF: Dominique Wilkins
SG: "Pistol Pete" Maravich
PG: Earvin "Magic" Johnson

Bench
C/F: George "Mr. Basketball" Mikan
SF: Kawhi Leonard
SG: Earl "The Pearl" Monroe
 
Wow. Doing some more study on English, and damn! What a steal. He's the all time leading scorer in the 80's. Dude was so smooth. Was un-guardable, and had one of the best midrange games ever. Can't wait to do his writeup tonight.

With Magic on your team, I'd consider putting the pistol on the bench. He and magic are very similar in different ways if that makes any sence. Like your team though.

Between Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone and George Mikan, I have a solid group of bigs that can shoot, rebound, play defense and get put backs. I can mix and match lineups as needed without giving up size or ability.

Magic Johnson, Pistol Pete and Earl the Pearl. . . that's a pretty sick backcourt. A whole lot of flash, flair and entertainment with those three on one team.
