CB Historical Draft - 1990's 2000's version: Draft Thread

[nickagneta]

I must say this (Without breaking the rules):

There is One PowerForward still out there...quite a few IMO, but this man was very under-rated back in the day. One of my favorite players, too. He's on my list, but probably not until the 8th or 9th round.

This man caused many teams much trouble down low. Those in need of Bigs really comb your Excel Spreadsheet. If he's still around that late, he's mine

If someone grabs him, you'll definitely get an Thumbs up from me. I think this man was a very important piece of a team back in the day.

Okay, knock it off with the talk of players not already chosen,

The next time I see it someone is losing a draft pick

[nickagneta]

The Memphis Grizzlies(GaBerkowitz) have exceeded their allotted time.

They may make their selection at any time.

The Chicago Bulls(Drucci) may now select at any time.

[StartOrien]

Still looking to get back into the fifth if anyone is interested in making a trade.

[Roy Hobbs]

Can I pick for Dons yet?

[Roy Hobbs]

I think Drucci is overdue, so here goes.

Dons and the Milwaukee Bucks select Mitch Richmond, a.k.a. the best player on the board and a perfect fit for his team.

Can I pick for Dons yet?

Sorry I was AFK. Yes Chicago surpassed their allotted time as well. You were fine to go with Dons pick.

And yes, he was not only the best player available, I believe he was the best player chosen this round.

[misha]

Yep, it's a steal to have him so late in to the game.

[Roy Hobbs]

And yes, he was not only the best player available, I believe he was the best player chosen this round.

I agree with that.  Different strokes for different folks, but I'd take Richmond every day over Carter, for instance.  I remember Jordan saying once that Richmond was one of his toughest matchups on both ends; that's pretty solid.

Roy, I sent you a PM if you have time to check it real quick.

[Roy Hobbs]

Roy, I sent you a PM if you have time to check it real quick.

PM received and replied to.

[Fan from VT]

As a guy who plays his best basketball when surrounded by all-NBA talent, Golden State is pleased to select:

Carmelo Anthony

[StartOrien]

There's one modern-era guy I like who I think has really fallen through the cracks, compared to some of the other selections.  I'll be curious to see where he goes.

Melo, right?

[GreenFaith1819]

So round 6 will resume on Monday? Or Tomorrow?

[riah32]

phone lines open....

[Roy Hobbs]

Excellent pick with Carmelo.  At this stage, I think some GMs may be too focused on fit, and not enough on best player available.  With a draft like this, I say pick the elite players when you can.
