All-Time NBA Draft Winner GoBigBlueFanGA

- Start date
Before I pick Mr. Irrelevant (a player), it'll be 5 players and 4 head coaches who are selected 🤔
I’ll take “The Mad Scientist”, Don Nelson. He didn’t win a championship but is the ideal coach for teams like this. He is a HOFer, won COY 3 times & is the NBA’s all-time winningest coach. His teams were very fun to watch & usually unconventional in one way or another. He’s credited with creating the point forward role & would get the most out of Giannis IMO. @YaySports OTC
Something interesting that I didn't do on purpose, but just now noticed is I'm the only person in this draft without at least one player currently active in the NBA 😮
With my last ill take a position that maybe isnt a total need but guy was a beast, especially in PnR, ill take Amare Stoudamire (assuming he hasnt been picked).
If someone has been picked as a player, can they be picked by a different team as a coach?
I would say absolutely
also, you could draft Steve Kerr, for example, twice; once as a player and once as a coach
I figured it would be ok, but just wanted to be sure. All I've got left to pick is a coach. There's 3 all-time greats still left and one that probably no one has even considered as their coach that's going to be my pick.
Since the 2 guys before me both have coaches, can I go ahead and pick? I'm gonna be really busy today and might not be able to check in for a while.
Obviously not up to me, but I think this is a reasonable request since you obviously wouldn't be swiping someone from the two picking in front of you.
Doesn’t bother me in the least, and I don’t see what it would hurt.
Then I'm going to take a guy that had a very short coaching career but was damn good. Won nearly 70% of his games, finishing in the Eastern conference finals twice and the NBA finals in his only 3 years as a coach. He also accomplished that with only 1 superstar and a bunch of dudes. He's the only person in history to win NBA MVP, NBA coach of the year, and NBA executive of the year. It also helps that he's my favorite player of all-time.
Head Coach Larry Bird.

That's an excellent pick. I'm surprised Parish wasn't gone already.
And since 420 has Larry Bird as a coach, I'm sure he'd utilize this potential strategy in a matchup with DraftCat:
Also, @DraftCat, I think you put Joe Johnson on the wrong team on the front page. Jrpross took him, not me.
Again, I have 8 studs to shoulder the scoring load, so why not add another winner, and one of the best on ball defenders in league history. He has shut down the likes of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant in playoff completion. He’s also one of the best 3 point shooters in league history, leading the league once in percentage. Give me Bruce Bowen. @RunninRichie close her out strong.
@RunninRichie has to pick again. Wilmore took David Thompson in Round 7/8
I began this draft with a Boston Celtic and will close it out with a Boston Celtic. Needing some backup big help, I will turn to a Kentucky boy, making the 120th pick and Mr. Irrelevant of this draft Dave Cowens.
Ok, now we can get on with the arguing, sugar coating, nit picking and whining.
I have no idea if it'll help me or not come voting time, but one thing I will say for my team is they have the most championships won with 48 combined between players and coach, great chemistry (Russell/Havlicek/Jones played together while Auerbach coached them and then Bill Russell eventually became a player/coach, Nash and Marion spent time together in Phoenix, Jerry Lucas played with Havlicek in college, Dave Cowens played with Havlicek with the Celtics) and three of my players were or currently are NBA head coaches (Nash right now, Russell and Dave Cowens were head coaches for a time), which speaks to intelligence. And the one that currently is a coach, Steve Nash, has I'd say maybe the toughest job in the league with the Nets trying to make the Harden/Durant/Kyrie trio work.
Obviously I think my team can thrive in today's format, but everyone will obviously believe that about their team. As far as that goes, I'll go more into detail on it later.
