Of course no one will expect that. He'll be around alot better players.
And that's why drafting known defenders is just as important as offensive players.

Maybe... He was fourth on my charts so we'll see.

I'm glad I didn't have to take Jordan. It's kind of one of those things, if Michael goes
past top 3, it's almost like you HAVE to take him.

I want a fast-break oriented team. No one better then the Magic man.

I'm taking Magic from his MVP, 88-89 season.
22ppg 12apg 8rpg 2spg and shooting 51% from the field.

WOW. Olajuwon the 5th pick!!! A bit too early for him, I think.

[TiMVP2]

whole bunch of names not taken.

Well, on my charts I had Kareem Abdul-Jabar at #1, Magic Johnson at #2, a player at #3 whose name I won't say because I don't want to give away ideas, and #4 Jordan, and I was hoping Jordan would go in the top 2 for that exact reason.

Oh well, I don't mind picking Jordan, because with him, I can run half-court or full-court, there's tons of great Forwards, point guards left from NBA history, and he provides great defense. Obviously you can be upset about picking MJ, but not my #1 pick.

Honestly I think we should drop the whole from the " " season thing, and just assume we mean from their peak, because depending on the team, they're going to pass or shoot more and what not.

Anyway, good pick with Magic, I expected as much.

[Carbo04]

No real suprises thus far.

Getting Bill Russell with the 7th pick is a steal.

I wouldn't consider it a steal considering

1) its a draft of all the players ever to play the game
2) its the 7th pick, its in the top 10
3) Bill Russell is a great player, who won a lot of championship, but for the time period, that Celtics team was pretty stacked and Bill Russell would not be able to grab 25 boards a game against stronger competition, and in todays league and style of game.
