2023 CS Historic Draft Thread - Results in OP!

[Who]

Interesting with that Chicago team. They have Fat Lever, Larry Nance and Brad Daugherty off their bench. I had all 3 listed as starters on my draft board. Great bench.

[Roy H.]

Two excellent picks. 

[Celtic Fan Forever]

With back-to-back picks up, here goes a double selection.

On behalf of theswitch, the Toronto Raptors select...



Danny Granger!

And...



Serge Ibaka!

Man.. Granger was a ton of fun to watch- he was great before injuries got the best of him. Ibaka is a guy who is great for this kind of exercise- doesn't demand the ball, team player, great defender and can hit the open shot.

The Jazz select Latrell Sprewell

[Who]

Ibaka was one of 7-8 PFs I was considering for this round to play next to Alonzo. I loved the idea of them together defensively.

[gouki88]

Danny Granger was one of my favourite players. He and Brandon Roy were going to take over that smooth scoring wing position.

[celticinorlando]

Memphis Grizzlies select Jamal Crawford

[RPGenerate]

Ahhh I wanted Latrell "I have a family to feed" Spreewell. Dang, will have to change plans.

[Donoghus]

The Jazz select Latrell Sprewell

Pre-choking or post-choking?

Pre-choking or post-choking?

Thanks for covering again, gouki! Just got internet on this flight and missed it by a few minutes! I had Daugherty above Ibaka as a Gasol sub but am happy with Serge, and then Granger as gouki knows has been near the top of my board for a while.

Serge -- his spacing and defense means that he can play with any of Bobby, Jermaine, and Marc Gasol. So I like that versatility whether I need him to be a center alongside Bobby or Jermaine (in which case they'd both be hybrids but Serge can space a bit more) or power forward next to Gasol. I like the interplay of Bobby, Jermaine, Serge, Marc as puzzle pieces.

Granger I'm pumped about. I still don't have as much "oomph" as the other teams and he was really good at his peak. Also a deadly shooter to help provide some range for my team. He played some power forward too so he gives me a small ball option if I want to go that way.

SAB keeps taking really smart picks -- Daugherty was such good value here.

With pick 9.5, the ChiBulls select 4x All-Defense and NBA Champion…

Tayshaun Prince!
