With our Final pick the Indiana Pacers are selecting Celtic HOFer Dino Radja



Welcome back, Big Guy and congrats to your HOF.

It's binkie o'clock! The Bucks select Boban Marjanović!



Bobi won't be part of the rotation. That being said, he ain't just a binkie. The advanced stats love his game.

Box Plus/Minus by position - Centers (career high in a single season)
1. Nikola Jokic 9.1
2. Arvydas Sabonis 6.7
3. Nikola Vucevic 6.6
4. Rudy Gobert 5.4
5. Marc Gasol 5.2
6. Ben Wallace 4.5
6. Moses Malone 4.5
8. Artis Gilmore 4.3
8. Bobi 4.3

He also had a season with a BPM of 5.5, but he only played in 35 games that season.

A nice option to have for limited minutes off the bench, especially since the majority of Centers in this draft are old school players.

Btw, Bobi and Tobi reunite! Best NBA bromance ever!

With their final pick the Spurs select the forgotten and underrated Nick Anderson



A total steal at this spot for me.

Dont forget this man could ball.

Love Boban.

Nice player and seemingly fine human being.

I don't like the Boban pick at all.  Several much better players available at center, including some foreign ones (if you wanted to go that way).  15th spot so doesn't make much difference, I just didn't like it.

Yeah, I am a little bummed about not having a celtic. Was a couple I wanted but it just didnt work out draft position/team need wise.

Just further proof that these metrics are often garbage.

In any case, Bobi has a massive impact on games whenever he's on the court. Problem is, he can't run up and down the court for a long time.

Was between him and Tacko tbh. Tacko is unplayable. I wanted to pick him just for fun. Bobi is a nice option to have for limited minutes off the bench.

Wasn't there a 4 time DPOY at center on the board? If you wanted super big, the guy was 7'4"

not 4-time, but 2-time.  The only 4 time winners are Wallace and Mutombo and Howard is the only 3 time winner (it has only existed since 83 or obviously guys like Bill would have had a lot).
