2011 CB Historical Draft - Draft Thread

[Roy H.]

To me Billups is a no brainer this late.

No doubt.  I just don't support any argument that has him ahead of Stockton.

The Seattle Supersonics

C: Hakeem Olajuwon
PF: Dave Cowens
SF: Scottie Pippen
SG: Grant Hill
PG: Jason Kidd

Bench: Reggie Miller, Wes Unseld

I love the defense, unselfishness and competitiveness of this team.

You have Hill starting at SG? He was SF his whole career.

I think he's quick enough where that woudln't be much of an issue.

I don't know about that. You are talking a guy that is a born and bred SF having to guard the very best SGs of all time in their prime years.

I don't see it.

[Donoghus]

I don't like the idea of plugging Grant Hill at SG at all.

Why would I have Hill guard the best shooting guards ( like Michael) when I could just have Scottie do it if Hill wasn't capable and just have Hill guard the small forwards.

The Seattle "Versatility" Supersonics: Our other middle name is " Awesome".

Why would Grant Hill have anymore difficulty guarding 2's than Reggie Miller would?

I drafted the guy and won't try to argue him against Stockton overall. There are some things Billups does better but we're talking about a 3rd round pick versus an 8th round pick. Billups ability to post up is certainly a bonus but I really got him because he's 5th all time in 3 pointers made with a very good % and is more than competant in the rest of his game to provide me with bench minutes.

That's how I see it.

Plus, pre-injury Grant Hill was quick enough to guard SG's.

Why would Grant Hill have anymore difficulty guarding 2's than Reggie Miller would?

You're talking about taking a guy whose been a bonafide Small Forward (at 6'8") his whole career and plugging him in at a position he's not accustomed to and guarding the all-time best players at SG.

That's a big leap of faith and one I'm not buying at all.

What makes you think Grant Hill, out of position, can guard the top 10-15 shooting guards of all time?

You completely ignored my point.

Which was what then?

[StartOrien]

Which was what then?

I'd much prefer a 6'8 Grant Hill playing 'out of position ' defending the greatest sg's ever - even though as KC rightly points out this could vary based on match ups w/ Pippen - then a 6'7 Reggie Miller playing 'in position'

Who has two thumbs and is a huge fan of small forwards guarding all time great Shooting Guards in their prime in big games?

Is that 2000 Paul Pierce or 2008 Paul Pierce you're referring to?
