2019 Historical Draft Thread(TIME TO REVEAL THE WINNER!!!)

The MIA Heat for pick 7 of the 11th round is going with - not YOURvydas...MYvydas...but



ARVYDAS! The YOUNG Sabonis.

Took much wrangling and diplomacy with Russia but we got our backup Center to keep the offense flowing with Shaq getting a breather.

Arguably one of the best PLAYERS in the world in the 80s.

Clap Clap Clap!!

Surprised he lasted so long

This dude has a LOT of stuff on youtube about him...shame that he couldn't make it over in the 80s.

I guess POR picked him? But ATL could've drafted him?

I think a young Sabonis and Dominique would've caused some ripples in the East back then.

Can you pick an international year?!?

No, which really makes me see the pick differently. Sabonis never really played up to the levels he did internationally in the NBA. In the NBA he was only okay to good. Never elite.

It would be like picking Grant Hill but only being able to choose from years that were post injury Grant Hill. Kinda paints the pick in a different light. But its 12th round and these guys probably see little playing time so it's not going to matter when looking at Miami as a whole.

We can't?

Nope. Just NBA and ABA seasons.

Got a bit confused because I remember someone asking the same question and the answer was we could pick anyone. All good, though.

Anyone in the ABA and NBA, as it said in the rules, which maybe you didn't read. Sabonis did play in the NBA, but only after his prime and his best years were behind him, so it's a legal pick. You just can't use a Euroleague or National Team as a year he played. Only NBA and ABA years, so it does diminish his value.

With the 12(9) pick of the draft, the Utah Jazz select 1981 NBA Finals MVP Cedric Maxwell.

Maxwell would get a load of easy buckets playing off of MJ and Bill Walton.

[Somebody]

Nice I got my guys! Both were scrappy SGs who were as tough as nails. Looking to move one of them plus Draymond for a bigger SG/SF though.

[Somebody]

Also looking for a guard who can play lockdown defense. Draymond and Goodrich are available.
