OKC takes Iman Shumpert

Shump-Shump!  Love the guy, but I can't help but wonder if you could've nabbed him later.

You act like talking in the third person isn't a quantifiable basketball skill. No way would he last the round.

In all seriousness though, this pick seems wayyyyyyy too premature. He is not a 4th rounder IMO.

With the 6th pick of the 4th round of the 2013 CB Draft the Dallas Mavericks select:

JONAS VALANCIUNAS

[McHales Pits]

I don't think he's bad. I'd say average. Anyways - basketball isn't a bunch of one-on-one isolation plays so its not like a player can be singled out THAT often. Sure, you can be beaten off the dribble or targeted in pick-and-roll situations, but it is about team defense.

If Jordan gets beat - Ibaka will be there for weak side help defense. Same for Ibaka. I love how I draft two athletic defensive minded bigs who averaged about 6 blocks a game between them and they are being called below average/bad defenders.

Nowitzki, Lee, and Jefferson are bad defenders.

Is Jordan better than them defensively? Without hesitation I would say yes. So at worst he is below average - haha. But I think he is better than that.

^LOL he's actually not bad.

Unlikely, I know of a poster who was considering him in this round in addition to me.

JONAS VALANCIUNAS

About dang time. I was surprised to see Kanter go so early, only for Val and [REDACTED] to continue falling way later.

ANDREW BYNUM

Talk about injuries.

And you guys are riding on Bogut's ankles when this guys knees are degenerating like an old man with arthritis.

[AB_Celtic]

We were considering Shump in this round too.

[rondoallaturca]

Nowitzki, Lee, and Jefferson are bad defenders.

Nowitzki's #61 overall Synergy rating says hello.
