Darn you.

That was who I was going to take anyway.

And that is why I have been trying to move up all this time.  Only NBA MVP left.

Going with Mo Cheeks.

youtube clips, pics, etc - after I get home.

A quiet, calming floor general, elite defender, big time player who raised his game during the playoffs.

Good solid pick, though I figured he would go later in the 3rd or 4th.  I had Cooper pegged as a mid to late 4th rounder.  To each his own I guess.

You are correct -

"To Each his own", you guess.

He's the best PG available.

I really like guys like Cheeks (and Worthy) in this format as you know they can successfully play with other superstars.  That's a big part of the argument for building a successful team, at least to me.  Better individual players still available, but I've felt in the past when I wait for a guy like him, he's always gone a round before I'd plan to take him.

Like if I was playing, and say I had an early first round pick.  I'd try to grab 2 superstars first, then plan on taking Worthy with my early 3rd pick and hope for Cheeks with my late 4th.  Ya that kind of planning never worked out for me.


Thought David Thompson would have been a 2nd round pick.  Wondering how far he'd drop.  That's a great pick up.  Milwaekee is now one of my favorite teams.

[Moranis]

Since Thompson was stolen from me at the last minute, the Philadelphia 76ers will select PF - Spencer Haywood.

Still undecided between his ABA MVP season in 69-70 and his two best NBA seasons of 71-72 and 72-73

I was struggling between Thompson and Lanier in the 2nd round.  I chose the big man and was amazed that Thompson was even a possibility so close to my 3rd round pick.

Yep and in the Hall of Fame.  In the end I am happy with Haywood, but I did want Thompson as the back court is much thinner than the interior in this draft.

[wdleehi]

Am I up?

[wdleehi]

I will take Marques Johnson
