There are two great players on the board but they are both centers.

Darn you Wilt!

Darn you Wilt!

There’s a lot more than 2 great players left.

Yeah but there is two that really stand out from everyone else to my eyes. I am surprised they are both still there. I had them both rated as late first early seconds.

[Silky]

there is someone there I will snatch in round 4 if they make it that i think most people will forget about.

got a feeling a few are on the right track for seeing him though.

Regarding Moses, something that should be mentioned is just how strong and powerful a human being he was. 6'10" 240-250 when at his best. Long, long arms. Few to none could move him off his position once he established it and he was so strong he established his position quite easily. And his knack at knowing where the ball was going to rebound it was almost on a Bill Russell and one other guy who I can't name's level. Moses was a beast

His finishing was incredible too, Moranis built a top offense with his two picks. Interesting to see how he will mitigate his defensive issues though.

I think I know who you're looking for, if you get him there it's insane value. Would absolutely make me regret my Curry pick lol.

With the 7th pick of Round 2 the Portland Trailblazers select the only remaining at least 3-Time MVP winner, the one, the only Moses Malone.

Like Magic, he found his greatest success playing with other HOFers in their prime and I need some muscle down low.

Great pick, was really hoping he’d fall to me

I concur. In a draft where you have to combat Shaq, Wilt, Russell, Kareem and Hakeem, I would want Moses Malone guarding and roughing up those guys. Just a sneaky good pick to have with Magic, though admittedly, I thought a Durant/Magic pairing may have propelled you into a leader position here early. Too bad he didn't fall to you.

Yeah I really wanted Durant, but I think it might work out better with Moses in the long run.  Really need some muscle and in my mind he is the last truly great center available (clearly there are other HOFers and very good players, but I think Moses is above the other guys).

And I will try not to select all of the Celtics main 80's rivals on my team.

My pick is very interesting to me, as I'm not sure whether this will be perceived as a massive reach or not. Hopefully he doesn't get picked.

Agreed, Durant is a huge get. Was hoping one of him, Curry, or Jerry West was going to slip under radar.

With the 8th pick of the 2nd round, the Atlanta Hawks take Dirk Nowitzki to play alongside Wilt.

Action781 exhales an hour-long deep sigh of relief...

And with the 2(9) pick the Utah Jazz selects Bill Walton.
