2015 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I really don't care, we can end it after 10 rounds. In the end will our 11th and 12th guys matter to the voters?

Don't put it back just because one person is constantly complaining about it

 

[Hekate]

Hey just because I am not here often doesn't mean I am not complaining.

 

[Elizah Huge]

12 rounds is final and whoever doesn't want to pick doesn't have to.

 

[The Midnight]

12 rounds is final and whoever doesn't want to pick doesn't have to.

Yeah those who doesn't want to pick can just let everyone know in advance so we can just skip that person, that will make things go much faster as well.

 

[Jazz and Utes]

All 12 of my players would play, that's why I drafted them...other than Jabbar there'd be a lot of subbing in and out especially my shooters, if one was cold that's why you've got multiple others....my next two picks are going to bring my team together

 

[Elizah Huge]

7 AM in Germany, we might be able to finish out this round before the night ends.

 

[LogGrad98]

Utterly shocked this guy made it this far. I will have to do a write up later.


Bruce Bowen

The prototypical 3 and D guy. Might be the best perimeter defender the league has ever seen.

Thought it was very funny, Melissa McCarthy is hilarious

I enjoyed it too. The first half was specially funny. I thought they kind of started running out of jokes, but it remained funny and entertaining throughout. I'm surprised too. It's very rare for me to like a comedy.

Haven't read through this thread so I'm not certain what movie you are talking about but if you are talking about spy, then I agree.
Wonderful movie

Talking about Spy... Spycam1 is OtC.



Thank you.

Ok everyone. View the winning team. Anything picked in the last 2 rounds are just filler and will likely not see the court much.

Starting, at PG, 12X All-Star, 2 Time NBA Champion, Finals MVP, Member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, 6'1" of pure determination and will.....

Isiah "Zeke" Thooooommmaaaaaassssssss

"What we didn't have in talent, we made up for with determination and sheer will." - Zeke

One of the few true warriors in NBA history.

Best season....

21.3 PTS; 4 REB; 11.1 AST; 2.5 ST; 0.4 BL; 46.2% FG; 33.8% 3 PT; 73.3% FT

He did average 13.9 assists per game the next season, but I thought this was his best all around season.

************************

Starting, at SG, 8X All-Star, Slam Dunk God, 11X Player of the Week, 3X Player of the Month, ROY, 6'6", Half Man Half Amazing....

Vince "VIIIIINNNNSSAAAANNNIIIITTTYYYYYYYY" Caaaaaaaarrrteeeeeer

Best season...

27.6 PTS; 5.5 REB; 3.9 AST; 1.5 ST; 1.1 BL; 46% FG; 40.8% 3 PT; 76.5% FT

Also won the NBA Citizenship award.

An eight-time NBA All-Star, Carter joined Hall of Famers Julius Erving and Michael Jordan as the only players to lead the NBA All-Star Game fan voting more than three times. Carter scored his 20,000th career point in 2011,[2] becoming the 37th player in league history to do so.

Off the court, Carter established his Embassy of Hope Foundation, assisting children and their families in Florida, New Jersey and Toronto. He was recognized in 2000 as Child Advocate of the Year by the Children's Home Society, and received the Florida Governor's Points of Light award in 2007 for his philanthropy in his home state.

Starting, at PF, 3X All-Star, MIP, 2X All-NBA 2nd Team Selection, offensive Juggernaut, the true Mythical and Ultimate STRETCH FOOOOUUURRRR!!! 6'10"

Kevin Loooooooooooovvvvvveeee

Best season...

20.2 PTS; 15.2 REB; 2.5 AST; 0.6 ST; 0.4 BL; 47% FG; 41.7% 3 PT; 85% FT

Best stretch 4 out there. That is all I need to say.

************************

Starting, at C, 6X NBA All-Star and 5X ABA All-star, NBA All-Defensive 2nd Team, 4X ABA All-Defensive Team, ABA Champion, ABA MVP, ABA Playoff MVP, 7'2" of pure muscle and basketball power, and maybe the best 'fro in the history of the NBA...

Artis Giiiiiiiiilllllllmmooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee

Artis Gilmore's low-key personality and unpretentious playing style certainly didn't generate the hype that illuminated many other star centers of his day. But when he went up for a rebound or to block a shot, everybody knew who he was. Regarded as one of the strongest men ever to play professional basketball, Gilmore was one of the league's most intimidating centers during the 1970s and 1980s. Most players knew better than to bring the ball to the hoop when the 7-2 Gilmore was in the middle.

Best season...

23.6 PTS; 16.2 REB; 2.5 AST; 0.8 ST; 3.1 BL; 58% FG; 69.6% FT

Gilmore averaged 12.3 rebounds for his career. He lead the league in rebounding 4 times, once averaging 18.3 rebounds per game. He also averaged 5 blocks per game his rookie season. He was a defensive juggernaut with post skills and a decent mid-range game for a big man. Under-rated due to the ABA merger, he still entered the NBA as a force under the basket.
