2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

Amare pre injury averaged 30 points per game in the playoffs and was phenomenal. Against the eventual champions the Spurs Amare averaged 37 points on 55% shooting with mostly Tim Duncan in his prime guarding him. Amare was great after that surgery but people forget that at 22 he was incredible. He outplayed Duncan in his prime at 22.
 
Well, I was going to pick the Big E, but Ellis did, so I'll go with the other side of my coin flip.

With the 79th pick, Gandalfe selects BOB PETTIT.

[MENTION=2411]tfivas[/MENTION] is up now for 2 picks. Unless they've been traded, which is always possible.
 
80th pick I select The Matrix Shawn Marion

No where near BPA but I like his fit on my squad and he played with Nash, Wade and Dirk in his career so we already know how well they'd mesh.

#81 on the way

If you are looking only at offense, sure enough. He was also past his prime.

I meant as far as helping a team win. Those were also his prime years. Unless you consider his best year to be his prime at 22. Where he lead the team to a .500 record. But the next season he was surpassed by better players.

PER Amare>Ak
TS% Amare>Ak
RB% Amare>Ak
WS Amare>Ak
Points Amare>Ak On much better efficiency
FT shooting Amare>Ak
Rebounding Amare>Ak


I think the only significant thing AK was better than was as a help defender. AK was a great help defender in the NBA. He was probably a better man defender than Amare as well but AK was never that good of a man on man defender. Amare was a solid defender pre injury, he was also a very smart player. Amare was also really good that first season with the Knicks until they traded for Carmelo.
