2024 annual Jazzfanz All time jazz draft

I hate my team feel free to make fun of it all you want.

The more I play the more I'm way out of my depth. I am not near the historian of the sport that you guys are. I also just don't put the necessary amount of thought into it. Should probably sit it out going forward.
 
Give me the list of long, insanely athletic 6’ 8”+ dudes that, when healthy
-are perennial all-defensive players (and can switch across 4 positions)
-sharpshooters on high volume
-can play as the 1st option/primary ball-handler (and aren’t an absolute black hole)
-can play just as well or better off the ball

I can think of between one and three other players that might meet that criteria and they were all off the board by pick 20.
I’d be happy to make a list but why do they have to have specific dimensions? Also he was never an elite defender above average yes, and he was never on any all defensive teams. He was a #1 option because we didn’t have better options on offense. Lots of guys can handle the ball doesn’t make them all world.

Pardon me, but pffffffffffff. He made four all-defensive teams. It’s not easy to make them, especially as a a prominent offensive player.

I listed those qualifications for a reason, and they aren’t arbitrary. If you have trouble making a list then that underscores the point.

He is of an extremely rare and very useful (critical?) archetype for team-building at the highest levels, such as a competition like this. If anything, he doesn’t get enough credit because of weird rivalry crap and that he has trouble staying healthy.

I think Thee is still talking about Hayward and didnt notice that previous post was about George.

I would hope he would know I wasn’t talking about Hayward since Hayward isn’t one of the four people that belong in the class (Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, Paul George) but you’re probably right and I definitely should’ve specified.

He was definitely talking about Hayward. I'm not sure why he brought up George though because I think everyone besides Thee would consider him starter worthy in this.
 
Sorry, spaced it with work.

Ummmmm, let's see.

For sheer toughness and defense, Jerry Sloan.
For being basically the platonic ideal of a modern center, even tho he played almost 30 years ago, Arvydas Sabonis. Clyde Drexler said he was "a magician in the post who played the game with a style I've never seen from a big man. He was a point guard in a center's body. And, just to be fair to Arvydas, he was better than most point guards are at distributing the ball."
 
I kept going back and forth with a few players but I wanted to continue adding shooting and this dude would have probably been viewed as one of the greatest shooters of all time if he hadn't passed away so young.
