2018 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[The Midnight]

You have 3-4 guys who all operate in the same area. That’s uhhh...not great. Not much spacing.

Depending on what year you’re taking Kidd, his prime years he wasn’t a good shooter, his later years he was ok.

Yeah I'm definitely taking Kidd's Dallas year with the 40%+ 3pt shooting. Same with Wilkins, I'm taking the year he shot 34% from 3's.

 

[The Midnight]

My team:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Chris Webber
Dominique Wilkins
James Harden
Jason Kidd


Elite passers in Kidd, Harden and Webber.

Elite finishers in Wilkins, Webber and Harden.

Harden and Kidd can knock down 3's.

Imagine Kidd & Harden lobbing to Wilkins and Webber....

Imagine Webber's passing to Kareem & Wilkins....

While that sounds good in a vacuum, I’ve found that voters can’t separate their preconceived notions and bias about players specific skills or lack thereof. I think shooting is going to be something that people will (rightly) question about your lineup.
