2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

I dont think its close between AK and Amare. Amare was a better player in my mind but I know a lot of Jazz fans really love AK and thought of him as a really great player. I have no problem with him being picked. I find it odd how many picks are mocked in here. Amare might not be a player you like but he was one of the top players in the NBA at various points in his career. Amare's career was somewhat derailed by injuries. Aks career was derailed by pouting.
 
Question for the powers that be: Can someone end up with more (or less) than 10 picks/players thru trades?

No, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're referencing. You have to give him your last two picks.

It can't be a 3-for-1 deal with picks. You have to send an even amount of players/picks back in any deal.

I think the only significant thing AK was better than was as a help defender. AK was a great help defender in the NBA. He was probably a better man defender than Amare as well but AK was never that good of a man on man defender. Amare was a solid defender pre injury, he was also a very smart player. Amare was also really good that first season with the Knicks until they traded for Carmelo.

As a scorer, peak Amare was better than AK

How many bigs in this draft were never a top 10 rebounder? For his size and athleticism, AS's rebounding was pedestrian. Compare AK's rebounding to other 3s and compare AS's to other 5s.

AK's top year in WS was 11.6, Amare's was 11.3

TS% yes, that obviously goes to the big who shoots mostly <3 feet from basket. I probably would not use that matric to prove that DeAndre was better than LeBron, however.

Career FT%, Amare was indeed 0.007 higher than AK. Touche.
 
Look, I like peak Amar'e so don't get me wrong. But when you mock my AK pick (which I admitted was a stretch) when your pick was just as dubious, that is the only reason I punched back. Proposed truce & move on

Umm, I didn't mock your AK pick until you mocked my Amare pick...


But it's not really close to me Amar'e is a much better player.
 
Seriously? This guy is still on the board?

With the 82nd pick, Gandalfe selects: WALT "CLYDE" FRAZIER
