2020 Annual All-Time NBA Draft

[Hekate]

Playoffs allow more physicality and KAT isn't dealing with any of that. He may be good for 2-3 minutes a half to surprise all-time greats but anymore and he is getting abused.

KAT wouldn’t last two min with Laimbeer. Lmao

I’m pretty sure I’ve blamed each and everyone of you idiots at one point.

From the guy who already has his pick and takes time to prepare a write-up on the player that nobody reads

Maybe true, but how well will Laimbeer be chasing KAT off the three point line?

And are you really going to run post plays with Laimbeer in this format?

Laimbeer was a high energy hustle guy who could move fairly well and was a highly competitive and intense player. He wasn’t a lumbering goof like say an Ostertag. He really wasn’t that big. He also played a lot on the perimeter.

no way. I grew up watching him play. Maybe faster than Tag, but who isn’t? Good Set shot from outside. Pick and pop set shot. Tough defending the rim, strong rebounder. Limited post player. Little lateral quickness. Nothing above the rim. Great outlet passer. Great leader. Pistons had two alphas who backed each other up and enforced the culture. IT and bill. He’s a guy who would struggle in today’s game.

I think it would be interesting to make an all time draft assuming they would play according to 90's rules. Would be fun to imagine modern players coping with physicality of those times.

We’ve done drafts where you can only draft retired players. So the vast majority played under the old rules.

When he was older. I get it he’s not as fast, my point is in his prime he was fast enough. To where his smarts and will to compete make up the difference. Kinda like Joe Ingles. He’s not fast not even a great defender, but holds his own.

I like him, he was slow and not athletic in his prime.

Never said he was athletic, but he is somewhat mobile and his competitive fire files him like it does for Ingles.

You don’t need to be athletic to guard out on the perimeter. All you need is a mind and a will, Laimbeer has that in spades, like Ingles.
