All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

[Coach Ellis]

My next selection is Willis Reed

Great pick. I've got a short list for 95, 97 and 98. He was on it. Excellent selection.

85. I needed shooting, passing, and a strong ball handler. I got all three in one player: Mark Price.

Price was known as one of the league's most consistent shooters. He finished his career with a 90.4% free throw shooting percentage and a 40% three-point field goal shooting percentage. During the 1988–89 season, Price became the second player, after Larry Bird, to join the NBA's 50-40-90 Club for those who shot at least 40% from three-point range, at least 50% from the field and at least 90% from the free throw line in a single season, and is still one of only six players to have ever done this while also achieving the NBA league minimum number of makes in each category. Price ranked consistently among the assist leaders (as of December 2009, he is the Cavaliers all-time leader with 4,206), twice won the Three Point Contest, and was a four-time All-Star. Price was named to the All-NBA First Team after the 1992–93 season. Price currently ranks second in franchise steals with 734, a Cavaliers record that stood until December 9, 2008 when LeBron James surpassed him. Another one of Price's distinguishing traits on the court was his pioneering of the splitting of the double team.

Darn. I was hoping to get him with my last pick. I loved watching him play. Oh well

Blake is a powerhouse of modern PF. His high flying dunks are an demonstration of his world class athleticism. He is one of a few players to even make the all-star team as a rookie. When its all said and done The Griff will be a hall-o-famer the likes of Sir Charles.

Ppg: 24.1
fg: 54.9% 3pt: 29.2% ft: 71.5%
Rbd: 12.1

I believe Blake can also play an oversized 3 with his ability to shoot the mid and put the ball on the floor.

Penny was my first favorite player. He moved across the court like he was wearing skates on ice. Many people compared him to Magic Johnson. He glided across the court with an ease and fished with excitement, by no-look passes and thunderous dunks. His basketball cards were valued as high any other player. The world loved this young baller.

Then his knee went. He still had his bbiq. The leap was gone. The first step became a third. Lil-Penny no longer was picking up Tyra Banks.
For that period of time the early 90's played host to the most charismatic and creative guard not named Magic Johnson.

How does everyone feel about being able to do 2 for 1 pick trades? Then those that don't have 12 picks, fill open spots at the end of the last round.

Here's an idea:

We draft 12 players, but have 13 rounds.

Essentially you're allowed to do one 2 for 1 trade (or 3 for 2) however you wish. If the 13th round comes and you already have 12 players, then you simply don't use your 13th pick.

Good idea
