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

[Who]

PF: Chris Webber
SF: Shawn Marion
SG: Manu Ginobli

Too early to really talk about this team. There is so much versatility there. Multi-position players who can operate in vastly different types of systems. Who can combine with one another in very different ways depending on lineup and style of play.

It could still turn it out to be so many different things.

[RebusRankin]

Miami selects Antonio McDyess.

[Kane3387]

So who wants to say good things about my team? Who wants to say bad things I'll refute?

Who wants to talk about the Nash-Pippen-Brand crazytrain?!

Don't like Brand as a fit here. Would have really liked to see a big man who excels at running the floor like McDyess.

[Donoghus]

Miami selects Antonio McDyess.

Strong frontcourt you've built yourself there.

[KCattheStripe]

Miami selects Antonio McDyess.

Savvy.

[Kane3387]

Miami selects Antonio McDyess.

Like this guy a lot. I think you and IP should trade. Brand for McDyess. Both guys seem to fit the personnel you each have. That might change though once I see your pg. But it looks like you have the making for a very very good half court team and him a fast break team.

Missing a franchise guy in my opinion though. I do like all these players but the only guy here close to a franchise guy is Webber and he really never went to the next level until he got Mike Bibby.

What makes you think Brand couldnt get up and down the floor?

That's never been his game. You put Nash around athletes he excels. Brand is a very good pick and pop big but Mcdyess did that well too. Brand has never played above the rim and again playing the up and down back and forth game isn't his strength. I think he helps in the half court for sure, but I would have liked to see a guy who produces in the half court and gets out on the break.

Regarding the Magic:

Chris Webber is the most skilled forward center of the modern generation. Not the smartest, not the most coach-friendly, but skill-wise he sits at the top of a very tall mountain.

Like Who said, I'm not sure what to make it though. Does Webber play the 4 or 5? Matrix the 3 or 4?

Right now all I know for certain is that defensively and offensively they'll be matchup problems because of the unique skillsets. I need to see a finished product though.

Regarding the Lakers:
I moved up to get Yao. You took my Yao.

It kind of sucks that during his best year he failed to finish, so that detracts from him, but what doesn't detract from Yao is the fact that he's 7'6 inches tall, and can pass, shoot, rebound, and defend. He's also stronger than he looks.

Big Shot Chauncey is a capable captain to steer the ship. Not a pure point guard maybe, but who needs a pure point guard if you've got 18 points to go with those 8 assists and tough defense?

Kevin Garnett is a true 5-tool player. He can hit, he can bomb, he can run the bases, he can pitch, and he can field. Just the total package.

Plus he's crazytown banana pants insane. That's what sets him apart.

The Mavericks:

I think we've all kinda forgotten how good Derrick Rose is, he's almost gotten too much backlash from his ill-gotten MVP.

D-Rose is not going to be checked by any other point guard in this game. Not Gary Payton, not Jason Kidd, not anyone. He's too fast, too strong, too good. A P&R situation between him and the Mailman isn't maybe ideal, but its still pretty darn potent. Still deadly.

And Karl Malone is one of the best 4's to ever play basketball.

[RebusRankin]

Thanks. Wanted a PF and Antonio was the best available. Really wanted Kemp but Who shrewedly took him. Still debating my next pick.

[KCattheStripe]

Regarding the Celtics:

Dirk, CP3 and Vince is just way too much offense for the rest of the league to handle.

[RebusRankin]

1. KG was a more talented all around big than Webber.

2. I'd like some feedback on Miami.

3. Send me your targets so I know who to steal tomorrow.
