2012 CB Historical Draft Board (New News, Check It Out)

[Who]

Rather than just leaving 'bump' I posted this in the how's my team section, and I'll repost it here because I make some landmark points:

In defense of Marbury:

Obviously, the guy is/was a knucklehead. In fact, and I've mentioned this to a few other people, that he's such a knucklehead that it completely outshines what really was a very good career, for a fairly extended period of time.

Check out these assist numbers:

Guy consistently scored 20 ppg, pretty great range, and was consistently a league leader in assists. He was a dynamic scorer, and one of the most inventive passers I've seen.

I would use one of Steph's full seasons with Minnesota as my selected year.

I thought New Jersey was a very bad place for him and that he developed a lot of bad habits while there. That team was just so bad. They needed him to do so much scoring and shoulder so much weight offensively ... and when he tried to answer that call as best he knew how -- which was to dominate the ball and become increasingly selfish but decreasingly interested in the play whenever he didn't have the ball -- it led to so many bad habits, and, I don't think Marbury ever truly got away from that. Those were bad habits that plagued him for the rest of his career.

So I'd avoid his NJ, Phoenix and NY playing days. I'd go with a young Steph who didn't have nearly as many bad habits. No golden child there either but less of a problem than he was later in his career.

At least that's how I view Marbury's career.

[StartOrien]

Ya, I'm flipping between young Marbury or one of his years with the Suns. Not quite the 'seven seconds or less' offense, but that was a really high octane offense and I actually thought he showed some maturity and leadership before getting traded.

The player list should be updated through the 9th round.

I will also be in and out throughout the day. I will send IP a list and it will be ok to skip me if no one from my list is available, I'll catch up later.

Thanks for all the work on the player list! TP

[Bahku]

Sent IP a list this AM ... if I need to send to anyone else, please PM me and I will do so.

I'll be near a terminal sporadically today, so not sure if I can make my picks, but the list will cover it.

Thanks ... hope everyone has a great day!

Should be around tomorrow, and would like some feedback/critique/discussion of my team.

Open to trade offers, as always.

Go Celtics!

Thanks so much, IP! (TP)

Greatly appreciate the help ... today was another nightmare.

They seem to come in bunches, but I'm happy with my third-choice PG, (Strickland & Jackson were 1 & 2), and my first choice 2-3 swingman.

Besides, nothing could change my good mood today after last night's win, or my pride at having green blood!

One game at a time, boys ... go Celtics!

You being in the medical field might know more about this Bahku, but you might want to have that green blood looked at.  Could be a virus or something.  

I've had all the tests, and it seems I have a rare case of chlorhematosis from exposure to an excess of Celtics-related propaganda, (it enters through the optic nerves, tympanic membranes, and esophagus) ... I'm under strict quarrantine until 830P tonight, as it's highly contagious, and there is yet no cure. Despite all the precautions taken, they expect a wide-spread epidemic in the hours and days following tonight's game. God help us all!

good luck with that

I believe Rondo owns my pick for this round.

By the way, any takers for Glen Rice? I will listen. As soon as I'm done eating (inside the shop of course).

[Rondo2287]

Im pretty psyched for this third pick, I got a good one assuming he doesnt get taken first!

[StartOrien]

So everyone's just going HAM at work right now in anticipation of calling in tomorrow, and that's why no one's here, right?

[indeedproceed]

I'm here, Rebus selects Andre Miller, bdm can go whenever.

Did Rebus send you two, I don't think he finished out last round yesterday and he gets a pick there, right?

[KCattheStripe]

Someone make a pick before my brain explodes.
