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

[Moranis]

the suspense is killing me.

[Bahku]

I am weighing my options. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll award 10 TP's to the guy whose suggestion I pick.

BJ Mullens

Allen Ray

Donny Marshall ... stellar career.

This is driving me freakin nuts. I'm over-thinking this.

just don't overthink into selecting my player and I don't really care.

In all seriousness, your first instinct is usually correct.  GO with that.

Stoudemire/Mutombo is a great frontcourt pairing.

A year ago, I would've agreed. After seeing him with Chandler now, I wonder.

Agree with IP. After seeing Stoudemire all these years I don't think he can play with a guy who plays in the paint on offense. Shaq and Chandler both show this. He either needs to be at Center or playing with a spread the floor big like Channing Frye bc that's when he was at his best.

Amare's game is predicated on facing up and using a first step to blow by his defender. Having a guy like Mutombo, Shaq, Chandler who bring their defender with them in the paint clogs his driving lanes and forces him to be a shooter only.

But Deke is not a Shaq/Chandler kind of player on offense, That's exactly why I picked Stoudemire.

I just meant they don't spread the floor and he really struggles when he doesn't have space to drive to the basket. That was my point. I like both of them a lot individually.

Yeah it really doesn't seem like a great fit because even if Deke leaves the paint, his man won't have to follow him out and can just double down on Amare.  A guy like Duncan or KG would have been a much better fit with Amare.

Who else thinks a Brand for Amar'e trade would be a win win?

Anyone?... anyone? (lowers voice) ... anyone (murmurs)...

HAHA TP

[indeedproceed]

Michael Finley. I didn't like any of the centers, I know he can carry the scoring load, I know he can play defense, I know he'll be a team player, and I know he knows Steve Nash.

Michael Finley.

I like! What year?

Still figuring it out.

The thing about Finley is that there are like 5-6 other G-F's who are tough, can score, and are great teammates left, while I couldn't find a single center I liked.

Should've bitten the bullet and went with Daugherty over Brand. Tried to get too cute.

[Moranis]

Well my guy who I had targeted from yesterday made it through.  The Mavericks will take perhaps the last true center who at 7' 280 has the size to at least pretend like he can guard Shaq.  He averaged nearly 19/12 with 2 blocks, 56% from the floor 69% from the line.  2nd team All NBA, All Star, and unfortunately center for the Los Angeles Lakers, Andrew Bynum.
