And should’ve been in Kentucky Blue! If it weren’t for that bowling alley incident, he would’ve been. A.I. was a straight up killer!

Yep. The two best players in the Big East in the mid 90s should’ve both been Cats. Man, could you imagine?! Unbelievable!
EDIT: Delk on one wing and Allen on the other! My goodness!
Almost did it in 1996 anyway. If not for that UMass loss we probably would’ve. If Epps is at the PG slot for that game, we win. We all know Pitino threw the game against Mississippi State in the SECT final.
Man, I forgot how damn awesome Epps was that season. Going into that FF, he had a 9-1 assist to TO ratio, 27 assists to 3 TOs. That’s incredible!

You guys killing me.... I hate the "What if" conversations makes my heart hurt.
I'm sure they will be picked shortly only 4 picks in. People have lots of preferences on how to attack the top 10 picks.
FYI friendly reminder please try to limit the conversations to players that have already been picked.
Man, this is actually kinda tough. But I gotta go with my gut & take Magic. @GoBigBlue712 it is to you, sir
Great pick with Magic. Best point guard of all-time and could even fill in at center on the biggest stage if Kareem was out with an injury.
No brainer, IMO. I would’ve taken him at 3 if Bird was gone. Nice pick.
Agree completely. Another example of a great player doing whatever it takes to win.
Give me the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry.
@420grover on the clock!

When it comes to the best of the best, they're all willing to do what it takes to win.
Solid. Curry was in my discussion at 12 and 13, but like Durant, thought he had a chance to be off the board by then.
Thought he'd drop to the 10-15 range. I paired Curry with Shaq in the last draft. Still don't understand how I didn't win it all lol
I kinda feel like I have to do this since I picked the Magic as my team. Plus, he was an ok player in his time.
Ugh, this is tough. 3-4 guys I want here, but I see a lot of quality bigs, and one PG that is well ahead of the remaining ones. Give me the big O, Oscar Robertson. @RunninRichie OTC

with the 9th pick in the 2021 Rupp Rafters NBA fantasy draft the st. louis runninrichies select.....John Stockton, Point guard from the utah jazz!
This isn't a flashy pick, but neither was the player. I'll take Tim Duncan.
Tim's got five championships, and he's literally three plays away from eight. There was '.4' in '04, Manu's foul on Dirk in '06 and Ray Allen's shot in 2013.
I know this is the what if game but if Kobe and Shaq wasn't in the Spurs way.... Duncan could of had a crap ton of rings.

If those were averages I could see that.I came super close to taking Fat Lever
First thing everybody talks about with Shaq is how big and dominant he was down low. That's obviously very true, but he was also very athletic for someone so big.
Great pick. I had hopes the Big O would fall to me.
You couldn't have made a bigger and fundamentally sound pick 👍
The guy who was at Gonzaga before Gonzaga was what it is now. Like Tim Duncan, the flashiest, but arguably the best passer outside of Magic and he was a terrific defender with a strong outside shot.
That's John Stockton to a 'T.' I didn't think he'd go top 10, but I figured he'd go in the 2nd at some point.
With my pick coming up after BigBlue makes his pick, I won't be name dropping, but I am a bit surprised to see a couple guys still available at 11.
Another great at the point guard spot, and a winner. All these point guards (Magic, Curry, Stockton, Oscar) going in the first 10 picks might lead me to look elsewhere with my two.
I know, but it would only hurt me if I name dropped, so I'm staying silent on the subject 🤐
The 2nd-4th rounds are my favorite. Love to see how people compliment their 1st round pick.
These things are always won later, but I like the discussion. Plus I can't compliment my own picks yet lol
