Hang on, Dantley was my guy. I've gotta do some research.

Toddychurch either won the draft with the Dantley pick or lost it. Some like me will respond negatively while others will only see the sexy offensive numbers. He’s a mix between Carmelo and Harden. His mid rang game and overall offensive Philosophy is similar to Carmelo bit of a black hole with an extensive mid range game. James Harden had a very unorthodox game going inside got to the line a lot and made some ridiculous inside shots just like Harden used to, like Harden knew all the tricks to get to the foul line, got there a lot. He was a bad teammate you have a chance to have two scorers like Dantley and Malone, but traded him for fear of Malone not being able to progress with him there and Detroit traded him because he clashed with then best player Isiah Thomas. Thought he should be the focal point, only cared about his stats.

I had Dantley on my list, but he was further down for all the reasons you listed. He may have been an incredibly talented individual player, but he could be a chemistry nightmare.

Yeah, he’s a tough one, but I’m thinking he might be a sixth man. I understand how it could be viewed as a negative.

He was a locker room cancer. Frank Layden couldn't stand him and once fined him 30 pieces of silver (30 dimes) for conduct unbecoming the team.

Lol. He might be the most selfish player in pro sports history I’m shocked they eventually retired his number. Lol took a while though didn’t happen till 2007. Jazz traded him, I think in 86. Took 21 years. Lol

I’ve never done one of these Jazz only drafts, but from what I can tell people will vote against my team based on Dantley? Even if my plan was for him to be a primary bench scorer sixth man? I remember when he was traded and all the problems he caused, but I didn’t realize “chemistry issues” were taken into consideration. Oh well I’m learning. Dantley is a hall of famer and great scorer who could rebound pretty well.

I like him in a 6th man role. The pick was fine. He’s usually a 1st round pick in this. Getting him where you did was good value. He’s just a polarizing player.

Hold be. But he might resent playing behind Korver or whoever plays the 3. It’s just his nature. Even his mom doesn’t have all nice things to say. Said sometimes she even couldn’t figure him out as a child and was quiet and a loner.
 
@toddychurch if we get within 2-3 picks of your next turn and you need to sleep send me a list. If not don’t. I don’t want to have a list of too many players to insure one is there.
