UPDATED: 2021 All-Time NBA Draft

Coach Ellis said:
I did an NFL draft like this once. You drafted 24 players (offensive and defensive starters, plus an extra receiver and defensive back) and each player on your team had to be picked from a different draft class. It was fun, but seriously challenging to do that.

We seriously need to do an nfl draft one of these days. Would be a huge undertaking though.

****. I’d love to do that. LOVE.
 
Getting antsy to make my pick, hope Numb doesn’t scree me, but I have two guys that fit so well on my team for different reasons and play two different reasons and have writeups for both. Lol
 
Steve Nash (drafted 1996)
1626794169277.png1626794338317.png
One of the greatest and most efficient playmakers and shooters of all-time, hands down.
2x MVP (and barely missed a third*), 7x All-NBA selections, 5x Assist champion, 2x TS% leader

Steve Nash's best statistical season was 2006-07*, so I am selecting that season:
-18.6 PPG, 11.6 APG, 3.5 RPG; .654 TS% (53/46(!!!)/90 shooting splits), 12.6 win shares (.225 per 48), 5.9 box +/-

The impact of Steve Nash on winning in real terms is that his presence improved the Suns from 29-53 in 2004 to 62-20 and to the WCF in 2005 (!!!), winning MVP along the way.

He made a career of making mediocre-to-decent role-players look almost star-like, especially big men like Channing Frye and Marcin Gortat, and straight-up making Shawn Marion an all-star/maxed out player. Being only among Magic in the debate of best transition playmakers ever, he wasn't limited to that as he also thrived next to Shaq - a plodding big with 0 range, attributes typically antithetical to Nash's strengths - and sent a near-washed Shaq to his last All-Star Game**. The big he's going to be playing with is ****ing Hakeem.



**note: What makes the Shaq-Nash pairing all the more remarkable is that Shaq has a bitter obsession with Steve Nash winning MVP to this day (and that Shaq is/was renown as a lazy, ****-talking bastard in general), and yet they made it work. Being able to work with others is critical in a functioning team, and it can't be said enough how well Nash did this on every level. It might even be worth noting that his leadership and the respect he commands is why he became head coach of the Nets and got those lunatics to, seemingly, chill the **** out and get on the same page.
