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

[Celtic Fan Forever]

I’m feeling good about this trade: Miller would be a great 2 guard next to LeBron with his clutch sweet shooting ability, and I finally got a real starting PF in McHale

[Yoki_IsTheName]

This is more of a pick of the heart than the brain. I know there are better value players out there, but God, I just love him as a player and I love his game so much, and he would be a terrific fit to our second unit, and MAY potentially start.

Keeping with the theme of defense, unselfishness, toughness and team play, we are happy to select this man.

5x All-Star
1x All NBA
1x All NBA Defensive Team

For pick 10.5, the Detroit Pistons select Al Horford.

I like the pick and the fit!

As crazy as this sounds, I'm trying to really convince myself to start him at PF alongside Alonzo Mourning. The spacing he will provide, plus the defense, will be a tremendous fit, especially for Bernard King.

Yeah, your starting five is much more palatable now.  Heckuva frontcourt.

For the 6th pick of the 10th round of the Celticsstrong Hist. Draft 2019, The MIA Heat select Detlef Shrempf



A floor-spacing Big that can spell either forward spots and further stretch the floor. Also a 2X Six man of the Year so he'll fit in nicely with roster.

I think it worked out for both of us. A pleasure doing business with you.

For pick 10.5, the Detroit Pistons select Al Horford.

After drafting Wilt Chamberlain and before I drafted Dirk, I was thinking of drafting Al Horford as a 5th starter. I thought he'd be a good glue guy next to Wilt. Strong physical defensive PF. Can shoot. Can pass. Good athlete. Can matchup against guys like Karl Malone but also quick dudes like Giannis. Versatile defender.

I think Horford is a really good to have coming off your bench.

You should start Horford.

Elvin Hayes is the worst passer at starting PF in this league and Alonzo Mourning (or Mutombo) is the worst passer at the starting center position (and maybe backup position) in the league. Your team needs some big man passing.

Also dropping Hondo to the bench in favour of Bernard King has compounded passing weaknesses in the starting lineup further. John Stockton can't do it all by himself. He needs some help. I'd put Hondo back into the starting lineup and Horford in there instead of Hayes too.

[Moranis]

For pick 10.7, the Portland Trailblazers will grab some offense for the bench and select ESPN's 62nd greatest player of all time, Alexander English.

Over his best 5 year period, English averaged essentially 28/5.5/4.5.  He was the leading scorer for most of those 80's seasons for the Nuggets, who during the 81-82 set the record for most points per game in a season breaking the record set by Wilt's 62 Warriors.  While he never really played with any of the league's truly great players, we think his style of play would be conducive to the fast break team oriented style of play these Blazers are putting together and welcome a legit scoring machine to the bench. 

[Who]

I love the Karl Towns pick. That guy doesn't get his due.

He would be awesome at PF next to Olajuwon when you want more size and/or offense on the floor.

Good contrast to DeBusschere too. Can change lineup dynamics as needed.

[Who]

Awesome. I get a guy I have considering since the 5th round.

Atlanta takes Marques Johnson at 10.8

That's a downright steal. 

It's mind-boggling how he was still available at this point in the draft.

[Who]

Alex English would have been great next to Magic.

Slowly and quietly racking up buckets. Nice high percentage short jumpers and cuts. Lots of easy hoops.

Yup, I had him at 76 on my top 120. To get him at pick 115 is amazing value.

Cannot match up against KAT.
