Nope. Your pick was due at 2:30

[GreenFaith1819]

Going with Buck Williams to shore up my frontline.

Efficient scorer, rebounder and elite defender - judging by his 6 All Defensive teams.

Nice. Real good fit alongside Bill Walton. Physical toughness.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Lakers select Dan Roundfield to bolster front court defense.

Multiple time All-Star and All Defensive team, great value at the 4th round IMO.

We'll use his 79-80 season where he was an All-NBA 2nd team and All-Defensive 1st team.

[Moranis]

Kane wants to swap 5th and 6th rounders with me, he just doesn't know it yet.

[RebusRankin]

Some interesting picks. Liked Bobby Jones a lot. Like the Nance pick and the Gus Williams pick.

I don't.

Those were my guys.

Thanks, Who.

Judging by some comments, Bill Walton is brittle.

Had to get someone to hold our frontline together.

[RebusRankin]

Some pretty sick teams so far. No GMs pulling a Kahn or Billy Knight.

I feel like I am out of my league.

I barely know any of the players left.... Part of the reason is the 1982-1983 season took place before I was born....

Anyway, I'm in it to learn something and have fun so the expectations of my team being a standout are minimal.

You're not alone on that boat. I still a have a few names I know but outside of that, I'll be basing everything on numbers.

But I'm getting to know a lot, really do. Had to ask my dad for some names and how they faired, to which he is complying, as long as I buy him Jack Daniels.

Don't worry dude, I liked the Mark Eaton pick for your team 

While it can be tough if you've never seen or read about the players from the era, stats are stats, but don't overlook the W/L column and playoff success either.  If I didn't know who to go with, I'd look at what teams were good in this era (say early 70's to late 80's), who made the Finals, who won it all, who won 50-60 games? And look at who they had on their team.  Also, I find wikipedia usually has good write ups on teams various era's.  Like the New York Knicks have a section "Post-Championship years (1975–1985)", the Kings have a section "1976-1985: Bad Luck settles in" and I'm sure all the teams have similar sections.  They can be good to read (especially for good teams) to get an idea of who was good at what, and who was a big part of the team's success (or failures).  Just an idea.
