2023 annual Jazzfanz all time NBA draft

[Coach Ellis]

I'm sure a lot of people are inclined to choose the pre-80 player with their first or second pick, because there's only a handful of great players from that era. There's a huge difference between someone like Kareem Abdul Jabar, and Bob Pettit.

Actually, I think that’s one of the easier ones to do. It’s pretty easy to find a guy in the 5th round that’s worth drafting. . . some of the other ones aren’t as easy.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Does JF overrate Hakeem or does everyone else underrate him?

Nah. He’s easily a top 5 guy in this thing. Can go as early as 2, but shouldn’t fall past 5.

Just curious, majority of lists I see outside of JF has him in the 7-10 range. He always goes top-5 in our drafts.

Nah I think he’s right where he should be. He’s always drafted 3-5. He’s just so good at everything and easy to build a team around.

I think that’s because most doing the rating take a bigger importance on accomplishment where as we look at team building. Who makes a team better.

Honestly I think Bird is more underrated by Jazzfanz.

Great, Great player

I’d add Magic to that as well

 

[Fosto]

I’d add Magic to that as well

Cause he's a PG who's not a good shooter. Modern NBA watchers place a high importance on shooting ability.

Do they? I can think of some very good modern players who arent pure shooters

Of course, but I think that's the reason Magic has become underrated.
