No problem mare, I would fight back. I like fighting.

Sure, here is my elder bro's ranking...

First Tier
Sabonis
Petrovic
Galis


Second Tier (Not close)
Diamantidis
Nowitzki
Bodiroga
Toni Kukoc
Sergei Belov
Parker (Barely)

He puts him over Petrovic, he says he was better than most of greatest players of the NBA. Even if you haven't watched Petrovic, you can have an idea as Dirk and Parker are not even close to him.

If you ask who the hell your brother, I can say that he's a Basketball God, knowledge wise.

So you had his approval.:cool:
 
As a prospect, there were people who thought Sabonis could be the best center of the modern era. He had a complete game. The problem was that he suffered two ruptured achilles tendons when he was in his early 20s, and he never was able to develop to his potential. He's still good. He's huge and was an excellent passer and could hit set shots out to the 3-pt. line. But he couldn't really run the floor and couldn't elevate. He was still a factor when he played with the Blazers in the late 90s.
 
Taking suggestions. The format relegated me into two not #1's and a helluva lot of space in between picks. I have to get creative.
 
Sorry, but there is no way that Niko Galis was better than Dirk Nowitzki is. Dirk is approaching top 20 NBA all time status. Sabonis may have achieved that had he been allowed to come over in the 80's (before his Achilles injury). Petrovic was a great shooter, but I don't think I'd put him above Dirk, either.

you need to nab a PG

Not necessarily. A Kobe, Michael, or Wade led team doesn't really need a pg. But it can't hurt. I would just go BPA at any position besides pf or sg. I think he needs a center.

On second thought, Karl could use a good pnr point.



Hey remember when Karl tried to set a pick for Kobe and he waived him off.

Good times.

He was Defensive Player of the Year both of these years, also All-NBA.

He was also a consistent player, these are just his best years.

Let's be honest, he is the rich-man's Dwight. Make no mistake, one of the NBA's biggest mother-****ers of all time. Fire-breather, ran the floor HARD, got to the line, could get his own offense in addition to being a very well-rounded offensive player.
 
Alonzo Morning! I forgot he existed. I used to freaking love him.

Not bad.. decent looking team, especially for picking 11th.
 
Being on the ends of a snake draft makes picking increasingly strategic-driven, BTW. Spent too much time on this pick, but I feel really good about it.
 
Zo was at the top of my list, but getting owned by Shaq hard, in Zo's best years left me with plenty of doubts.

Can I take Pop & Zen Master here?
