CB Historical Draft - Team Rosters/Panelists Comments

[GreenFaith1819]

The 76ers would love some feedback as well. The front office is trying hard but Billy King has a lingering influence.

I like your team a lot, although I wasn't a huge fan of the Ceballos pickup (I think he would have been there later, even if I understand your motivation).  Obviously, right now you need some backup wings and another point guard or two.

I think your team is on the right track, even if I do have you quite a bit behind Milwaukee in the East.  (No slight against your team, I just think the Bucks are the best team put together thus far.)

As for the Ceballos pickup, after Larry Nance I was worried there'd be a run in former Dunk Champions. 

Yeah I was surprised that Nance fell that far - he was one of the Big Three for CLE back in the day (Daugherty, Price, Nance). He was a Defensive Presence for both PHX and CLE back in the 80's and 90's.

Jersey? Any Feedback is welcome here, as well. Good thing is that we still have a few rounds to polish things up.

I love your starting front court, and you may have the best defensive team in the draft right now.  I think you reached for a few guys (Wallace, Iggy), so right now my advice would be to infuse your team with top line talent.  I'd probably adopt the "best player available" approach for a few rounds.

Forget it I just realize my recomendation Mullin
was picked on round 4
I was stranged he lasted
A pure dreamteamer.
Oh well
I will think in another sugestion.

Rosters are up to date pending today's picks for Charlotte and Chicago.

Please check the front page to assure I have all your players listed and in the proper spots

This may change, so no need to adjust it now, but at this point I have Mullin penciled in at the 2 spot (he played both the 2/3 professionally) and Kirilenko will be mostly the backup 4 (that's where he was when he was good, before Utah added Boozer and tried to force the Kirilenko-boozer-okur combo).

So it looks like this:

1: Isiah
2: Mullin
3: Carmelo
4: Malone
5: Mourning

Bench:

1/2 Lever
2/3 Majerle
4/3 Kirilenko
5 Divac


or in your format:

1: Isiah/Fat
2: Mullin/Majerle
3: Carmelo
4: Malone/Kirilenko
5: Mourning/Divac

I thought that as the draft went on, the separation among teams would get wider.  However, after today, I think a lot of teams remedied weaknesses, and made up ground on the top teams.

My three favorites are still Milwaukee, Golden State, and Utah, but there are a half-dozen teams (at least) still in contention.

Any thought to starting Majerle and bringing either Mullin or Carmelo off the bench?

I agree. It's (Obviously) a VERY deep draft, so early botched picks are easy to fix.

Yeah, nothing is set in stone yet. Thing is, though Melo and mullin aren't known for top tier defense, they are definitely all-round players. Not revolving doors, by any means. I think it would depend on matchups. Also, potential trades, if anyone out there feels they are lacking floor spacers/elite offense from the 3 spot.

Just want to point out that the NBA did a top 50 players list to play in the NBA in 1997. From that list there were 17 players available to be drafted in the CB Historical Draft.

4 of those players are on the Utah Jazz.

[Donoghus]

The Milwaukee Bucks have:

- 7 individuals and a head coach who have won a gold medal at either an Olympics or FIBA World Championships.

- Head Coach voted one of the "Top 10 coaches in NBA History" in 1996

- a combined 12 NBA championship rings and 20 NBA Finals appearances

I like the "fit" of your team.  Most of the players have played with other superstars before, and haven't complained about their role.  The question marks in that regard are Dominique and Kemp, but I think they'd buy in.

Utah willing to move their 2 - 13th round picks for an 11th round pick

PM me if interested

With the exception of Chicago's picks today, all rosters up to date.
