thanks. i was impressed among other things with his durability. dude was a work horse.Another good pick.
Thought I could sit on that one til the endAnother good pick.
Give me the Secretary of Defense, Bobby Jones.
Let me go ahead and get out in front of what some folks might try to criticize and let me take one of the great true classic floor generals of all time.
When this guy retired, the only guys in NBA history with more assists were Magic, Oscar, Zeke and Stockton. No one had more steals.
He's five time All Defense, a four time All Star, but what he really does is take the normal duties of a traditional PG and performs them at an All-Time level.
He orchestrated one of the greatest teams in history, and despite a handful of guys on that squad who have already been drafted, he was the leader and engine that made it run. He's an efficient scorer, with a 53% career eFG from the PG spot, turned it over less than 2 times per game, and was 80% from the line.
One of the greatest perimeter defenders, passers, leaders, and minds the game has seen (he even went on to be a good coach), give me the floor general and one of the most underrated players in league history.
Mo Cheeks, Point Guard.
You probably know I had him on my short list. Not the guy I wanted, but close enough.
Based on your reaction when Moncrief was popped, I had a suspicion.

He WAS the guy I wanted running my second unit...You probably know I had him on my short list. Not the guy I wanted, but close enough.
Fantastic pick this late in the draft. Can never have too many shooters.OK, so this is the guy that I really wanted. I was afraid Mo Cheeks might still be on the board, and I might be tempted to take him, just because he’s a known quantity.
But if I’m going to be real, this is the guy. Had he not suffered such an untimely death, there’s not a chance in the world he would still be on the board.
44% lifetime from three, but that doesn’t scratch the surface of how talented he was. Can work on ball as well as off screens, and even has some of that Pistol Pete flair in the open court.
Give me the man who Reggie Miller called the best shooter he ever faced, an All-NBA selection before his tragic death, Drazen Petrovic.
Fantastic pick this late in the draft. Can never have too many shooters.
Dammit!!!Give me a 5x all defense and 4x allstar point guard, that is one of the best passers in the history of basketball. The perfect player to have on a team of stars, who doesn’t need to shoot the basketball. Give me Rajon Rondo.
Really wanted to take him over Chauncey but I needed more shootersGive me a 5x all defense and 4x allstar point guard, that is one of the best passers in the history of basketball. The perfect player to have on a team of stars, who doesn’t need to shoot the basketball. Give me Rajon Rondo.
...and there goes my 3rd targeted 2nd string pg...Give me a 5x all defense and 4x allstar point guard, that is one of the best passers in the history of basketball. The perfect player to have on a team of stars, who doesn’t need to shoot the basketball. Give me Rajon Rondo.
Good pick. He was my other option....and there goes my 3rd targeted 2nd string pg...
Give me former league MVP and 7 time all-star Dave Bing to run my 2nd unit
