2018 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Meh most people on jazz fans are adults, mostly...

Yes, we are all adults leading adult lives, but are jazz fans as a way to relax from the daily rigors of work and life in general, so we become fans. Fan is short for fanatic, as fans we are all a little crazy and adult gets shown the door.

Ruba probably saw this billboard in Melbourne this morning on his way to work and thought "I'll pick Ben Simmons"

Not realizing it's a slap in the face of most Jazz fans.

****, didn't even know that was there, I'm still at home, don't leave for work for another hour (thats the other side of the CBD from where i work), that's pretty much at the busiest intersection in town, cnr Flinders and Swanston outside the main train station. The pub its on is consistently top 3 in beer sales for the state.

Yeah, the oldest pub in Melbourne, Straya.

 

[Rubashov]

Not sure about that, I think the Duke of Wellington a block away might be older. Never been a massive fan of Young and Jacksons. Both are dumps when compared to the Prince of Wales.

Who did pick Hayward?

Undrafted surprises.

Tom Chambers

Earl Monroe/ seriously

Bob McAdoo

Larry Nance/. This is the first time I didn’t draft him. Love his combination of length offense defense and athletic ability. In my opinion the most underrated dunker maybe the best ever.

Rajon Rondo

Allan Huston

I’m probably missing someone, but these I felt deserved to get drafted. Probably because these guys got drafted, and while they are all good players, probably weren’t good enough to be drafted.

Horace Grant

Bob Cousy (great player for his day, but maybe not now)

Ben Simmons

Kyle Lowry/ just miss the cut

Kyle Korver/ role player

Joe Ingles. Hate putting him here, but ya.

Otto Porter/ Just miss the cut

Paul Millsap/ just miss the cut

Meadowlark Lemonl/ Pretty much because he never played in the nba.

Glenn Robinson/ Never liked him at all a poor man’s Carmelo Anthony IMO and not in a good way.

Bruce Bowen/ LMAO.

Luol Deng

Lamar Odom

Robert Horry/ Nothing but a role player

Fun draft I was in protest of being able to pick current players, however, this movement didn’t start till after I missed out on Davis and Leonard in the second round. I didn’t draft any current players.

[Coach Ellis]

It hurt to pass on Earl Monroe (who IMO was easily the biggest snub), but I needed a PF for my bench. Was sorely tempted by both Larry Nance and Michael Cooper.

With how my draft fell, I didn’t see any PGs worthy of the starting lineup once I got all the way to my 5th starter, so I’m going to start Giannis as a point guard/forward and put Kemp in the starting lineup at PF. The Greek Freak and Jordan have both proven that they can handle running the offense both off and on ball.

Antetokounmpo / Frazier
Jordan / Gervin
Wilkins / King
Kemp / Love
Ewing / Gilmore

Imo Giannis hasnt shown this ability at all, in fact I think its his greatest weakness. In transition he is fine but looks a total mess against a half court defense.

I know I know you said not to harp too much on your listed rotations... but wtf man?

Lol, but seriously thanks for putting all the rosters together in one place, I appreciate it!

You do realize he played pg full time in the 15-16 season. He’s probably isn’t the best half court pg in the world, but MJ completely erases that problem.

I think there are always difficult choices, I went for Horace because he is a superb defender, can play the four or the five, is highly mobile, I felt like i already had enough quality scorers so i wanted unique role players, I seriously considered Oak and Buck Williams but i felt Horace was a better fit for what I want for the team.

But Larry Nance Sr was still available, better defender, more athletic, more outside range, and only marginally better rebounder, and on top of that, Nance was a rim protector, just a better player all around.

Does he wear goggles?

 

[Rubashov]

And he don't play the 5

 

[Eminence]

Grant over Nance imo, think he was the best defender on that 1st Bulls 3pt.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

And he don't play the 5

Also, you don’t want Grant playing any C in a league where every Center is an all time great, at 6-10 215 lb’s. Guys hi Hakeem Olajuwon David Robinson Moses Malone Patrick Ewing Wilt and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on a nightly basis. Not a good idea

Well, in my opinion Nance was more well rounded and a better defender. A lot more mobile, athletic, more skilled, great shot blocker, more versatile then Grant. Grant was a role player, Nance was a building block.
