UPDATED: 2021 All-Time NBA Draft

Sorry fell asleep all of a sudden. Weird. Pick coming. I need a center and all that’s left is 2010 era, guess what that means. And I need a lot of defense.
 
Rudy Gobert

Drafted 2013-14
Best year 2020-21. Won third DPOY award in 4 years and all defensive first team. All NBA third team
14.3pts 13.5reb 2.7blk

Rudy might be the most influential defender in league history. Never have I seen one player have the defensive impact on a team like Gobert does on this jazz team. Other than O’Neale there isn’t any other good to great defensive talent on the team, and yet Gobert led the jazz to a top 5 defensive ranking as a team. He was a one man defensive nightmare. Teams altered the way they played because of him. Before this pick there is nothing special about the overall team defense, but add in one Rudy Gobert and now it’s a good to great defense.

Unless the other team has multiple great shooters (especially ones comfortable shooting off the dribble). BUT, yeah, you got the best player you could've there for your team.

Jason Kidd

- NBA champion (2011)
- 10× NBA All-Star (1996, 1998, 2000— - 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010)
- 5× All-NBA First Team (1999–2002, 2004)
- All-NBA Second Team (2003)
- 4× NBA All-Defensive First Team (1999, 2001, 2002, 2006)
- 5× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2000, 2003–2005, 2007)

One of the most underrated players ever. He is 2nd in all-time assists and 2nd in all-time steals. He made an all-defensive first or second team for 9 years in a row.

What season, though?

Just thought of a cool wrinkle for this next year. Cool imo anyway. We get the 12 (or 16 or whatever) participants first. Then, we decide 12 nba head coaches we want to coach our teams. I’d pick modern ones: Phil, Riley, Pops, Sloan, Rudy T, D’antoni, etc. We place those coaches in alphabetical order 1-12. I then draw the order as always and this would determine not the draft order but which participant is matched with which head coach. Why is that important? You should draft a team that considers your head coach’s coaching style. Why else is it important? Coaching matters. If two teams are deadlocked. I’m selecting the team with the better coach.

I've always wanted to figure out a way to get coaches involved. I've thought about having a 9-person traditional snake draft where the last round is coaches as another way (or a 10-person modified snake; the point being to get the advantage to the team at the end of the 1st round).
 
What year of Scottie Pippen's is being used, and who gets to make that call since he was traded? I feel like it would be who drafted him and that's when we're supposed to declare the season in question.

Either way, this should get cleared up, fixed, and catalogued for all past picks soon, IMO. @Rubashov has a bunch where that isn't specified, maybe even all of them.

Last MVP. Joker. Best passing big man in the history of the NBA. Currently the best big in the NBA by a good margin.

Nikola Jokic. Drafted in 14.
 
John Havlicek (drafted in '62)

1626892751440.png

Revolutionized the game. Bill Russell said he was the best all-around player he ever saw. He practically invented the sixth man (he probably would've won 6MOY six times of them if the award existed at the time), the point forward, and the do-it-all athletic swingman. What he does most is win. Pure competitor, class, and character; all guts and glory.

-Career: 8x NBA champion, 8x All-Defense, 13x All-Star, '74 Finals MVP, all-time leader of points scored in Celtic history to this day.



-Despite being a little past his peak, the season I'm selecting is '73-'74 where he made 1st Team All-NBA and 1st Team All-Defense, then won finals MVP in a 7-game series victory over the Kareem/Oscar Robertson Bucks. Because this is all about winning.
-22.6 PPG, 5.6 APG, 6.4 RPG, 1.4 SPG

Havlicek was one of the premier athletes of his day, recognized to the extent that the Cleveland Browns drafted him to play wide receiver. He was an elite defensive player, became known as one of the best shooters of his era, a terrific playmaker and passer, and tied it all together with all-time hustle and endurance. That attribute made him a huge threat off the ball as a cutter and slasher. In the book "Hondo: Celtic Man in Motion", it is estimated that he ran 3-5 miles per game which is at or above anything seen in the modern game.



He will be running secondary action from the bench, using his movement off-ball to either get him an easy bucket, or get him a head-start as a playmaker. Imagine something not unlike Hayward.
