2013 CB Historical Draft Thread

[Rondo2287]

I'll take, Jerome Whiteheadand his 13 point and 9 rpg performance while shooting 56% from the field

[Who]

The Celtics will select Johnny Davis

Nice. He was my 2nd choice if someone took Gerald Henderson. Very good defender. I loved watching Lionel Hollins and Johnny Davis pressure the ball. Made life hell for Philly's ball-handlers in 77 Finals.

I was hoping I might still get him in the next round. Ah well.

Rod Higgins for 3pt shooting off the bench.

Wayne Cooper for toughness and shot blocking.

Washington complete.

Cooper was going to be my last pick.  Darn.

[Roy H.]

What was going on in the NBA in 1979?  It seems like all kinds of random guys put up huge numbers that season.

[Donoghus]

Cocaine & lots of it.

[Moranis]

What was going on in the NBA in 1979?  It seems like all kinds of random guys put up huge numbers that season.

78-79 may actually be the weakest year in NBA history.  Seattle beat Washington in the Finals that year.  A lot of the stars of the late 60's and early 70's had recently retired and Magic and Bird hadn't yet entered the league.  Kareem was getting older, Dr. J was fading as well, Walton didn't even play that year, and Moses wasn't yet ready for the big time.  Just an odd transition year.

[wdleehi]

Is it my turn to pick again?

[wdleehi]

I will take Chubby Cox

[Moranis]

I will take Chubby Cox

tee hee.  chubby cox.  His parents must have hated him at birth.

[airbelinelli]

Was waiting for prov  didnt know I got skipped whoops...
I'll take the old Bulls C Dave Corzine

[Moranis]

I'm here, just going to give KC as much time as I can so I will pick right around 340.

[prov1ml34]

I will select Larry Smith

Looks like he had good rebounding numbers. Averaged a double double one year and close to it for a few years.

[Moranis]

Looks like KC isn't around so Philadelphia will select its final player and is ecstatic to welcome in

C - Rich Kelley

Huge statistical season in Roy's favorite season of 78-79

15.7 p, 12.8 r, 3.6 a, 2.1 b, 1.6 s on 50.6% from the field and 81.4% from the line in less than 34 minutes a game.

[Who]

I will select Larry Smith

Looks like he had good rebounding numbers. Averaged a double double one year and close to it for a few years.

Great pick. He was the other name on my three man list alongside Johnny Davis and a yet to be selected small forward. Terrific offensive rebounder. Larry Smith is a really nice energy guy to have on the end of your bench.
