I wanted a starting point guard who can play defense, shoot, and move the ball without being ball dominant.

I was surprised to find that in the history of the NBA, only three players have achieved the following stats for a season:

6.0 assists per game
2.5 3PM per game
40% 3P%
.600 TS%

Steph Curry, Kyle Lowry and...



Mike Conley

Conley is also the only one who has made an All-Defense team.
Impressive that Conley has done this, but I gotta admit I would have thought there'd be more guys in that group.

Good pick. Allows for a lot of lineup flexibility with DRose too

I was very surprised.  Apparently, ultra-efficiency combined with passing and defense are quite rare.  Shocked that Chris Paul never did it, nor did Nash or any of the other great shooters.
I actually ran some qualifiers in bball ref regarding stuff like this and it's super rare. And Nash's problem was that he didn't take enough threes back then (blame the way basketball was played in the aughts lol).

Yeah, I thought Nash for sure would have got it. However he really didn't shoot that much - never even cracked 14FGA

Denver has missed their pick.

Indiana(action781) may now select.

Denver(RPGenerate) can select at anytime.

With the 5th pick of the 7th round Indiana's reuniting Dirk with an Old Friend Tyson Chandler:



As a Defensive Player of the year AND a Big who TALKS on defense like KG Tyson will make our defense even better and help Joel out.

Strong selection at this point of the draft, I think Chandler was a top 25-30 player at his peak.

Who is up, but RPGenerate can pick whenever as he missed his slot.

It's all on the big board in the OP.
