Last pick of 2010's Jazz Round: CJ Miles.
Uhh...he's a lefty who likes to shoot and once scored 40 pts in a game. Best of all, he spent the first 2 1/2 seasons of his career planted on the bench - which is where he'll be on my team.

2010's NBA Round
First pick of 2010's NBA Round: Dwight Howard.
Can never have too many big guys and Superman averaged 23 & 14 w/2.4 blks in 2010-11 and was the Defensive Player of the Year in both 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Line-up
PG Deron Williams (2000's Jazz)/Pete Maravich (70's Jazz)
SG Michael Jordan (90's NBA)/Dell Curry (80's Jazz)
SF Paul Pierce (2000's NBA)/CJ Miles (2010's Jazz)
PF Dave Cowens (70's NBA)/Antoine Carr (90's Jazz)
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (80's NBA)/Dwight Howard (2010's NBA)

I'm taking..
Wesley Matthews
Impressed me more in his one season with the jazz than CJ has his entire career.
So we can draft for one half of a year? So a decade is the second-half of one season, the next nine, then the first half of a season?
I'll shut up.
the 09-10 season counts as 2010. The 99-00 season counts as 00. I thought this was common knowledge too.

I thought we were making up rules as we were going along.
Whatever the calendar says is what the year is. Why would anyone even bother to split the year for each season? Come on.
That's an awesome team. Think you would want to put Dwight in the starting line-up for defense and rebounds? He could play either PF or C.
Yeah, Salmonhobo aka KrazyEyedloser needs to hurry up.
Can I pick over him yet?

Yeah I think that could work in spurts (esp if matcups dictate it) but I like Cowens at PF because he's a great rebounder, more skilled offensively (shooting, passing, FTs) than Howard and his mentality fits in with (Jordan, Pierce, Kareem, Deron). All of those guys want to win - bottom line - and they don't care how big of a dick they have to be/appear to be to win. Dwight's great, but I don't think his personality fits in as well next to Kareem and Jordan as Cowens' does.
Chris Paul
Although his two worst statistical years came from this decade, he was still able to lead teams without much talent to the Playoffs.
Final Roster:
Pg: Paul (10's) / Wade (00's)
SG: Wade (00's) / J. Malone (90's Jazz) / Hayward (10's Jazz)
SF: Sloan (70's) / J. Drew (80's Jazz) / Hayward (10's Jazz)
PF: M. Malone (80's) / S. Haywood (70's Jazz)
C: Robinson (90's) / Okur (00's Jazz)
Areas of Strength:
1. Defense (All starters have made an All NBA Defensive team during the decade I picked them in.)
2. Penetration (Wade and Paul are some of the best at it.)
3. Rebounding (Robinson and Malone are two of the best in the history of the NBA, Paul,Sloan, and Wade are strong for their positions)
4. Finishing around the rim
Areas of Concern:
1. Malone and Robinson playing next to each other offensively (I know Robinson can hit mid-range, but I know they are both stronger in the post.)
2. 3pt shooting. (Paul is my only strong 3pt shooter starter. Wade can hit it if open. Sloan didnt even play in NBA when there was a 3pt line. Hayward and Okur coming off the bench are sharp shooters though. I don't really see this as that big of an issue as 3 of 5 decades of Basketball largely ignored it.)

PG - Derrick Rose / Earl Watson / Henry Bibby
SG - Julius Erving / John Havlicek
SF - Scottie Pippen / Matt Harpring
PF - Kevin Garnett / Thurl Bailey
C - Mark Eaton* / Thurl Bailey
* I didn't know Eaton is the 4th leading shot-blocker ALL-TIME. Also he is the all-time season block leader with 456.
'84-'85 season averaged 5.5blks, 9.7pts, 11.3rbs.

PKM, nice try, you picked out of turn.
