What's new

2023 annual Jazzfanz all time NBA draft

Holy ****, it's finally my turn, after days of waiting.

I'll take Shawn Kemp 95-96.
Nobody respects the Rainman in this competition. But he’s the only tier 1 athletic roll man that plays great defense besides Malone. Good get.

Actually he’s over respected in this. He has defensive chops but he’s soft. Sonics often hid his defense putting him on stiff none offensive centers or pf’s. And low IQ. He’s one of the guys I leave off my board.
 
Anyone wish they went a different direction earlier with how the board ended up falling?
Probably. I mostly wish I would’ve had the stones to trade up a couple of times but I think I pivoted well when a couple of high-priority guys went right before I was able to.

He blocked two shots a game for years. More importantly, why did the Sonic’s defense absolutely fall apart when they traded him? That was a team that still had Payton.

Malone had his number, for sure. It is absolutely not the whole story. He usually goes in like, the 80’s in this contest.

Like I said he has defensive chops he’s athletic and that helped. But he couldn’t guard elite post players. So yes when he was gone the defense suffered. Problem is he’s exclusively going up against the Malone’s of the world with no where to hide his defense against the studs. He fouled a lot too.
