“You couldn’t defend Elgin. He had such a good outside shot. He could stare you down. He had a quick jab step. He would catch the ball at the top of the key or further out, and he’d get you going back and forth. He’d just explode by you. He had a nervous twitch. He was very, very hard to defend. Not only was he a good outside shooter, but he had a good deceptive first step. He had incredible strength and could hang in the air with the ball. When you put all those things together, you couldn’t stop him.”
This from former Detroit guard Gene Shue. Apologies if anyone intended to draft Gene Shue.
By the way, there was no incentive for players in Baylor’s day to shoot 24 footers. Doesn’t mean he didn’t have it in him. Guy was a baller.

Okoooommmmmmmggffffggggggg. That was who I was taking and I can’t believe you. I hate you
Here is an interesting link.
Apparently very little footage is available, around 2-3% of his plays and then they are random.
That's really cool. I'm going to check that out in-depth and see what I can find on other guys. Thanks for sharing that.
Shut it!! Lolyou can’t do because then bird would have to check chris webber.
i think webber would struggle with the barkley’s of the world who were just freaks in their prime. but against the malone’s (who chris patterned his game after) and the duncan’s (who he did well against head to head) i think chris would more than hold his own.
There was literally only one other option I considered. He’s out there, man. Just look lol
I have a contingency plan I drafted him several times before... he doesn't get enough credit though but I'll do it again unless hes somehow taken by @kornucopia
Well me holding out for Webber as my 4 has backfired. Thanks @hotelblue lol
I was deciding between him and Boogie. I think Boogie is the better player and will be rated well above Gasol when it's all said and done.
Was thinking about taking Webber. Loved him as a player. Can't stand him as a person. What an asshole. Jeez.
when chris was just a toddler he banged your starting center’s wife.
Sounds like a lot of us had the same idea this round. I didn’t realize he was still available until right after my last pick. He’s a late 2nd round talent in this format. So picking him up mid 5th is a steal.
me either i admit. i figures he’d get picked right before it snaked back around.
I'd targeted Weber or Gasol here for my 4... Give me...The Reign Man: Shawn Kemp
I believe my loss ended up being my gain...

Nah. Not your gain. Kemp was the best left after we drafted those two, but they’re all pretty even.
Give me Nate Thurmond.
A steal at this point in the draft he is still known as one of the top 50 NBA players all- time. Nate was the first to record a quadruple-double in NBA history in October 18, 1974 at the age of 33 with 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks
“The toughest center for me to play against is Nate Thurmond,” Abdul-Jabbar once remarked.
One of 5 players to finish his career as a 15-15 guy and if he blocks were a stat back then they said it would of been around 2.1 BPG if not better due to the NBA just started keeping that stat during the end of his career.
