What's new

2020 Vintage 80’s 90’s draft winner changes my picture.

Wow, last two picks, head scratchers
Why? Glen Rice is every bit the shooter ya boi Mitch Richmond is.
Glen Rice? A 6'7" knockdown shooter? Shot 41, 42,44,42, 39,37,39 on 5 attempts from 3 a game. I'd say he's a pretty god damned good pick this late you stupid dumb ****.
He's kinda what Mitch Richmond was if he would have been taller and played on teams that were actually in the playoffs.

Putting too much emphasis on three point shooting, he was a terrible defender and didn’t have much else to his game other than shooting

Mitch shot more threes, could take defenders off the dribble and even had a post game, and better defender, he wasn’t an elite defender by any means but he didn’t hurt his teams in that category. He would’ve been far more recognizable had he not played on such bad organization’s. IMO

Sure, but he was the 5th pick on a team of 5 so far. So yeah, thats good. And Mitch was awesome, but his teams also sucked nuts, although I'm sure there are outlier seasons.

He shot less threes than Glen and shot them worse. Glen could do many of the things you mentioned. Mitch has him on free throw rate and thats about it. Total WS for their careers goes to Glen... Mitch logged a grand total of 836 playoff minutes Glen had over 2,000. Mitch was good but he put up numbers on ****** teams for most of his career. Glen had some meaningful minutes and did his work on teams that won games. Mitch may be better but its very close.
 
Had hoped to nab Mourning or Mutombo... so will have to do a full pivot and grab another player type I need...

Give me Glen Rice... pretty jumper... loved watching him. Dude got buckets. 6' 7" wing would be basically perfect for the current era. In 96-97 he put up 27 pts per game while shooting a blistering 47% from 3 (hey coach get him some more attempts out there).
Weirdly enough I thought about grabbing Rice and was hoping Mutumbo would be there, because there are a billion centers to choose from, so I guess I made the right choice.

Correct move imo... I was wanting a center from a more modern era and he was the one leftover. There are still some really good options but I can wait on them.

He started his career on good Warriors teams and put up numbers in the playoffs.

But he was always super efficient in his prime Kings years.
