2023 CS Historic Draft Thread - Results in OP!

[Kernewek]

Steve Francis, Grandmama, and Michael Cooper are very nice very nice pickups. This round has been great.

There is a 0% likelihood I'll be around to close today's rounds of the draft on time. Odds are I'll wind up making my pick around 1-2 AM for you east coasters, but it might be closer to the start of the next pair of rounds.

I'm salivating over one guy in particular, and I basically have no second option. So... no one take him lol

Denver selects Bob Dandridge

I just took a look and your team is not-so-sneakily stacked. Very curious about who your one guy is.

Denver selects Bob Dandridge

He was a beast in 78-79 for the Bullets. High level player

[gouki88]

I've got theswitch's pick again.

With the 5th pick, the Toronto Raptors select...



Jermaine O'Neal!

Jermaine O'Neal!

I would have bet good money that this was going to be Who's choice.

Great pick. Great value this late.

Love the Jermaine pick, really was thinking about picking him. I might need a few minutes here.

[Roy H.]

I *hate* having CFF and goukii a few picks in front of me.  We've had too many discussions about strategy over the years.  And then Dons directly in front every other round.

This guy was so good before injuries sapped him of his athleticism.

OKC selects Antonio McDyess


Played every game in the 1999 lockout shortened season and made all NBA 3rd team averaging 21.2 ppg, 10.7 rpg, 1.5 spg 2.3 bpg. Great on both ends, fantastic rebounder, and was a reliable enough jump shooter. There were some other Power Forwards and Centers that were probably better, but I think I can play him alongside either Kemp or Dwight, and there weren't many 2 way players that fit that profile for me.

[Who]

F: Chris Webber, Terry Cummings
C: Ralph Sampson, Jermaine O'Neal

I'd start TC at PF and Webber at C. Go smaller. Play with speed. Use Ralph against the 2nd unit centers who he can wipe the floor with. JO as the backup PF.

I was surprised by JO lasting until now. I thought he would be one of the top PFs in the draft because of his standout defensive & good offensive game. I was bit off by some of the weaknesses in his offensive game. I guess others were too.

I liked the idea of JO and Alonzo together on D. I was less keen on them as a duo next to KJ and King though. If I had better perimeter play / shooters, I would've done that - excitingly so. Probably in the 4th round. And been delighted JO lasted until the early 4th.

Great pickup for the 7th round.

Loved McDyess. Similar to Brand in terms of overlooked binkie big of that period.

The 90s and early 00s was genuinely crazy stacked at PF!

I picked Jermaine O'Neal on behalf of theswitch's Toronto team. The team with Penny Hardaway

Ah okay. I would still start TC and C-Webb together.

So Toronto have Nance and JO off their bench as backup bigs. That is nasty. Great defensive combination.
