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

[nickagneta]

Golden State is going in the direction of versatility again: Nightmare matchup, Elite defense at 2 positions, fills the box score without any plays called for him, and we won't play him out of position like the last 4 years or so....

Andre Kirilenko!!

I have a healthy hatred of AK47.  I think he's mentally weak and worries too much about himself, rather than the team.  That said, I think my opinion is in the minority, and he certainly has good skills.

I don't like him either

[nickagneta]

The Charlotte Bobcats(riah32) have exceeded their allotted time.

They may select at any time.

The Philadelphia 76ers(stoyko) may now select.

Oh well. Can't awe you with every pick

At this stage, I just couldn't pass up:

All-Defense 1st Team
15.3 pts
8.0 rbs
4.3 asts
1.5 stls
3.2 blks

And still in his "Motivated" stage, all coming off the bench. '05-'06 Kirilenko is my weapon vs. the great scoring 3's out there, or if we need to go small with Malone at the 5.

True.  Looking at Kirilenko through a one year prism, he looks a lot better.  Much like with Baker, there was a time when AK wasn't a whiny punk.

pick a year
I personally pick him over Larry.
yeah that much

He played in five Olympics (the second person to do so after Teófilo Cruz) and was the top scorer in three of them. . In 1980 he played 7 games and scored 169 points for a 24.1 average. He again scored 169 points in 7 games in 1984. His best Olympic performance was the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He scored 338 points for an average of 42.3 points per game. In 1992 he scored 198 points in 8 games, and in 1996 he scored 219 points in 8 games. In 38 career Olympic basketball games, Schmidt scored 1093 points for a record 28.8 points per game average.

He scored 49,703 points in his top-level career, the most ever.[1]

Schmidt is probably most remembered in the United States for his performance in the gold-medal match of the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. The U.S. team of college players at those games featured two All-Americans in David Robinson (Hall of Famer) and Danny Manning, two Final Four MVPs in Pervis Ellison and Keith Smart, and several other future NBA players. Brazil faced a 68-54 halftime deficit. Schmidt almost single-handedly led Brazil to a stunning comeback, finishing with 46 points in a 120-115 win.

He was drafted by the New Jersey Nets in 1984, and had several other opportunities to play in the NBA, but declined them all in order to maintain his "amateur" status and continue to play in Brazil's national team (until 1989 NBA players were not allowed to play for national teams). He retired on May 26, 2003.

The Philadelphia 76ers(stoyko) have exceeded their allotted time.

They may select at any time.

The Houston Rockets(buellj814) may now select.

[stoyko]

Mostly because I love alliteration, the 76ers select Hersey Hawkins.

[buellj814]

with their pick in the ninth round the Houston Rockets select:

David West

Binky!

Great pick.

[Moranis]

Thanks Roy.  Was hoping Rondo would have fallen to me, but very happy to have Bogut and Jefferson.  I now have a bunch of size up front to go with my smallish starters.  Team is really coming together

Portland
Coach - Jerry Sloan
PG - John Stockton 94-95
SG - Raja Bell 06-07 or 05-06 & Joe Johnson 04-05
SF - Lebron James 09-10
PF - Dennis Rodman 91-92 & Al Jefferson 07-08
PF/C - Chris Bosh 09-10 & Kevin Willis 91-92
C - Andrew Bogut 07-08 or 09-10

I have basically NO recollection of any experience watching him at all, but he was on my list just due to a couple of great shooting years (and not much else, may I add).

Binky!

Great pick.

One of my all-time binkies is still out there.  Whoever takes him gets big props.
