[El_Capitán]

Sorry about the delay lads. Picked and pm'd Nicky.

Ewing and Stockton. Pretty happy with that to start.

  I bet that pick just made Gods_Left_Boot cry 

[Whispering Death]

I should add that if I was drafting a team and had Barkley and Nowitzki in my first two picks, I'd probably make them my power forward and center, then pick a defensive minded center in the last round as my 6th man. In the hypothetical games against teams with powerful low post offensive players the 6th man center could get more run, but in most matchups you play small and try and kill the other team with shooting and speed. There aren't that many players from the past few decades whom Dirk couldn't at least put up a fight against.

Yea that seems a sound strategy. Think there'll be a few teams against whom you can play Dirk at 5 without a big worry.

['Mondzz']

3 hours since the last pick do we jump to the next pick?

[NICHOLLS]

Thanks for the PM, sorry.

PG:
SG: D-Wade
SF:
PF: 
C: David Robinson

IMO, there's only two SG's who can match and/or better Wade's dunking, shooting, playmaking, perimeter defence, explosive pace, ball handling, rebounding and MVP clutch-ability (Jordan and Kobe already drafted). 

[Po The Panda]

Can I go up in the draft now.

['Mondzz']

Can I go up in the draft now.

Estonianred's 2 hours is up at 13:36 so anytime after then

[NICHOLLS]

I didn't PM Estonianred until late.

[Doc Red]

I know it's the rules, I'm just not so comfortable with skipping members because they didn't pick within the 2 hour mandate.
It's not like we're in a rush or anything, and we have members on different time zones that might not neccessarily have the time to check the thread every three hours or so.

Maybe (for the next draft) we should offer a fixed schedule so that everyone would know the exact time they would be expected to make their pick and could plan accordingly.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Picked Steve Nash and PM'd Mondzz for the next pick.

[Samie]

North Korea will be the home venue for Nicky's boys. 

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Sorry, I didn't notice that some people hadn't picked and the draft skipped past them. I received the PM from the guy picking ahead of me and didn't check. I'll make sure to check before picking in the next round.

[Saint Kopite]

Picked The Glove.

it's fine mate.

if they miss their 2 hour deadline what are you going to do? Wait for them to pick?.

[Vishwa Atma]

Picked the knick killer and pm'd doc red.....

[Saint Kopite]

Reggie is a boss pick indeed.

Isiah vs Iverson 



Was hoping Chris Paul would reach me...

[nicholasanthony]

Just for the record I have team up with El_Capitán, so I'm in this. 

[IndianRed]

Went for Joe Dumars after thinking really long and hard. Excellent defender and versatile on offence even though he may not have the outright scoring ability of some of the other guards picked so far.

[LiverLuke]

larry bird and kevin mchale reunited, oh my.

[Po The Panda]

Mchael is a great pick was hoping I could of got him round 3.

[Fiasco]

I make two picks again after AWWYC? If so I'm going for a massively underrated forward and a gamble as my point guard.

Yeah it's snake order so you're last in round 2 and first in round 3.

[NICHOLLS]

  You must be delighted to see Kevin McHale reach you - I only realised this round that he was actually eligible (drafted 1980!)

[Saint Kopite]

Bah!

Wanted McHale for my next pick.

[Whispering Death]

Bah!

Wanted McHale for my next pick.

Don't think there was much chance of him staying that long specially with Liverluke already having Larry Bird.

[Gerry Attrick]

Had a hard time deciding between Garnett and McHale for my first pick, McHale won more rings but Garnett's been a 15x All-Star, 4x All-NBA first team and 9x NBA All-Defensive First Team member

[LiverLuke]

i thought mchale must be ineligible as he hadn't gone but was saw he was drafted in 1980

I hope the RAWK crowd know who he is...

[El_Capitán]

Of course they do..

[Doc Red]

I hope the RAWK crowd know who he is...

A little overrated though, isn't he?

[Saint Kopite]

McHale? Nah. One of the best. Better than Garnett imo.

Would have been if he wasn't so hampered by injuries. But if we consider the overall career, then definitely KG is better.

McHale has a brilliant post up game but if we consider the defensive side and all, KG was the total package.

[Fiasco]

Gone for D Rose and Chris Webber. Risky picking Rose with his stop-star career but I couldn't not pick the youngest ever MVP. And Chris Webber is massively underrated.

[Saint Kopite]

Nooooooooooooo. Not CWeb.

[Saint Kopite]

Rose is a fantastic player but I am not sure how well he would complete with someone like MJ. Both like to control the ball.
