Looks like Kane and NY are skipped and Yoki and LA are up

Alright.

The Lakers select M.L. Carr and his 78-79 season where he was an All NBA Defense 2nd team.

It will keep the tough defensive identity in the second unit with him and Cooper in the wings.

Looks like Yoki and LA are skipped and prov and Boston are up.

Kane and Yoki can pick at anytime.

Looks like GF is up, not prov.

My team is HOT!

Great defense, leadership and a ton of scoring options. They may not be the most entertaining, but they very well be the best team here.

My bad I was looking at the wrong round.

Question: Why ML Carr and why now? I think an argument can be made he wasn't even the best back up defensive SF that once played for the Celtics, never mind what other quality players were left.

[RebusRankin]

LA clearly going for nasty D. Assuming they are going for the strategy of we might not score much but you'll score even less.

Honestly speaking, he's the first SF I saw while I was researching that fit the defensive theme of my team.

And while there are other players left that maybe better than him, I'm happy with the Carr pick. That 78-79 Detroit season, he averaged well scoring wise, shot 51%, played tough defense, and he's coming off the bench. What's not to love?

[nickagneta]

GF and Seattle are skipped. Who and KC are now up Pick anytime GF

[GreenFaith1819]

Sweet!

Going with Mr. Lionel Hollins for backcourt duties.

A bit bigger than Mo Cheeks, he can help guard bigger backcourts.

Smart, Tough-nosed player, 1st team Defensive Team awardee, and All-Star.

[Who]

Kansas selects Marvin Webster.

Going for nasty D - True
Not score much but you'll score even less - False

The team has Kareem who's practically unstoppable. Moncrief can score at will. Both of them shares the ball and what better Third Scorer to share to than Kelly Tripucka who averaged 26 a game on 48% FG and 38% 3FG?

Not to mention Don Buse who can find these guys in their spots. Roundfield and Kareem will dominate the boards for more possesions, hence more shots.

And then there's the brick wall defense from the starters (outside of Globo Gym guy of course) and the bench, who can score as well.  So teams will score less and be shot out of the gym by LA.

[GreenFaith1819]

When can we pick coaches? I have a few in mind...

I wouldn't say Kareem was unstoppable..Moses played him well, even in his prime, plus Bill Walton gave him some fits.
