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

[Yoki_IsTheName]

I'd consider moving Penny Hardaway to the two guard spot and sliding in a quick dribble drive PG into that starting lineup alongside Grant Hill. Bring both Glen Rice and Tayshaun Prince off the bench.

Plus, a PF to replace Smits in the starting unit.

I agree that I need to take out Smits. But I like Penny as my point guard. He's a mismatch offensively on most teams. I believe he's long and quick enough to get to the baskets. He runs on fastbreaks. His length is a big advantage for that.

Grant Hill stays as the 6th man, for now.

I think putting a player as talented as Grant Hill on the bench is a mistake. 

He is a top five player at his position. He needs to be starting.

Youre correct. I really wanted Prince's defense in the starting lineup, but I don't want Rice's 47% out as well. Geez. So much talent.

nvm

[StartOrien]

Got a great defensive center in mind, guy won 11 championships, would be PERFECT for my bench, maybe even a starter. Can't believe this guy hasn't gone yet...

Question to everyone's point guards.

Who guards Penny?

Let's see:
'94-'95 Penny vs '94-'95 Payton


12/17/94
Payton's line:  31 points, 7 assists, 7 steals, 4 rebounds, 11-15 from the field, won the game
Penny's line:  4 points, 1 assists, 1 steal, 1 rebound, 1-4 from the field, lost the game

2/2/95
Payton's line:  26 points, 7 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds, 11-18 from the field, won the game
Penny's line:  17 points, 8 assists, 1 steal, 8 rebounds, 7-17 from the field, lost the game

And that's not even Payton's best year.

Yeah that was one of the smaller PG's I was referring too.  There are a few others that maybe aren't quite as pronounced, but still had a great deal of success against Penny.

He's probably having a sophomore slump. 

Payton had better stats in those games. I agree.

But eye test tells, Penny can shoot over Payton easy. I'd take it.

Start the next round!!!



Please!!!!!!!??

Question to everyone's point guards.

Who guards Penny?

I think Chauncey would LOVE that challenge .

A little too slow, and too short as well. He's gonna have a hard time.

lol...that's what they said about Kobe and the Lakers when Chauncey and Co beat them in 03-04.

Kobe does not pass the ball though... Penny does.

You act like Penny is a 12 assist kind of guy.  He wasn't.  Career high is 7.2.  Brian Shaw actually had the highest AST% of the regulars on the 94/95 teams, and was right behind Penny the following season.  I mean Brian Shaw.  

Penny is not Nash.  Heck my guy Derrick Rose has a much high AST% than Penny does.  I love your enthusiasm, but you are making Penny out to be a great deal more than he actually was.  

I'm aware that he's not a double digit assist guy. All I'm saying is he is a dual threat with length and quickness. Stats aside, that's a pretty tough match up for most PG's.

[Who]

Still missing two picks from the 6th round -- Lakers and Thunder.
