I did not say he will be unguarded half of the time.... Rotational Defense? Are we in the old era of One on One persistently? Boi
I dun want to just destroy him in the post, McHale has problems like others against length, athleticism and skills. That is really hard to lure it out of your mouth. Even without Hakeem I am sure they will have problems. I did not even realize the Celtics had 5 Allstars, or more than 5 .....that is nuts.
As Donatas said already, this is not true. Bird was defending the opposing PF most of the time, while McHale guarded wings and even guards sometimes. The article is terribly researched. What?
Mutombo was a nice player but kinda random to throw his name into discussion out of nowhere This daywalker breh is a good addition to the threads, but I hope other brehs aren't gone for good and come back and vote
Should probably really use 2k to simulate drafts, most people here really don't care about judging and go MIA after they have assembled their team.
I didn't say that, just doubted that Ibaka+Mutombo would in any way outscore Bird+Bynum. That actually was the norm, Bird was mostly a PF on defense.
If he checked Giannis, well good luck to him, too slow. That plays even more into my hands as nobody is guarding my PF tweeners half of the time. BTW everyone got problems against lengthy, athletic defenders even Lebron.....and Jordan. @ Mutombo and Baka, Bird n Bynum They would not outscore but they would slow them down, I think Jordan would become a playmaker on Bulb's team. Gerald would score more and Hinrich too if he'd put him in. Jordan had seasons of 8.5 and 8.4 apg......in a slower system than Harden is in. If Harden can become a PG, Jordan can become a better combo guard while still scoring a ton.
horry vs jmc = jmc holyschitte this is difficult. but ultimately i went with gregory popovich as the one that tips it. phil would get the best out of his players but it seems like jmc has the best players to fit popovich's system. donatas vd lwqbulb = lwqbulb i think lwqbulb's team is collectively tougher than donatas. donatas did a great job of drafting leftovers tho, it made me think. ftw vs lca = ftw pat riley and the starting lineup does it. im starting to think that for future all time drafts, lerbon will be the unanimous #1 pick. he makes any lineup that much stronger. jontro vs daywalker = jontro because how do you even spell antetetowamutombokounbo?
For your info Commish Tizzle could hae very well given Lwqbreh Sam Bowie instead of Jordan......very generous of him. Thx. Lwq was afk for 2 days.
horry vs JMC = JMC This is close but ultimately the front court (Tim Duncan) and Pop tip it in JMC favor. I don't see KAT or Whiteside being able to guard Timmy and if they throw some Pippen at him, Dwayne Wade becomes even more deadly. I like horry's team but starting both KAT and Whiteside leaves a bit suspect in big man defense. The starting 1, 2 and 3 for horry is better but ultimately the front court and to a lesser extent bench make this JMC donatas vd lwqbulb = lwqbulb I actually think Donatas did a wonderful job picking this team considering all good guys were taken. Durant, Harden and Tyson is a good core but eventually I think lwqbulb's team is deeper and more skilled in the rest of the roster. Plus he has Jordan. I really can't see any plus defender or DMO's team who could consistently hang with Jordan. OT: I like Harden but wondering if someone like Ray Allen and then a pure PG to set up Ray Allen and Durant for their pure shooting would have been better... Jontro vs daywalker: Tough one to decide . I go with Daywalker 4-3 Jontro has the better starting 1-4 overall but Hakeem at the 5 against Jontro's big man is murder. And to me overcomes any advantage Jontro had at other positions. Hakeem will be able to guard McHale without problems. I would have voted Jontro if he had a more capable big man defender to put against Dream.
Sorry but since when is Booker that much better than Bradley Beal? Or Giannis worse than Hayward? He is much more versatile, maybe shooting is his problem but there are other aspects of the game. Giannis has better defensive potential than anyone on my roster not named Hakeem. Not just potential he is laying it out there on the court. You don't get the name Freak when you can't be freakishly capable.
I said better starting 1-4 Overall, as a package, so you'd have to include Magic and McHale... I didn't say player vs player...
Ok. Well, I said it my players are underrated because everyone is a playmaker, in this modern time it is going to be an advantage...sure if you go old school - well, fine. But the whole setup is Alltime players playing in a modern setting. I hope at least, that is what I understood. The Princeton High Post Passing isn't only restricted to Adelman, people know about it. It is perfect for my versatile players. Won Finals MVP on a losing team. Wilt got crippled and went out. One of the first and best scoring machines of a playmaker in all history. Won his championship couple years later. Magic was flashier but one assist is one assist, whether behind the back or just plain assist. Better scorer and shooter than Magic.
sounds like my team in the previous draft, which had perimeter of Magic-Ray Allen-Durant (and the same Tyson Chandler at center) I had to make some changes, to at least pretend that i'm a creative drafter and not drafting the same team every time
