Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 Well round 4 should have most of the 50 Greatest cleared out, and some of the guys who have blossomed since then, so that's when you get into the guys that are good players and you have to consider playing styles as well.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 I think chemistry is going to mean a bit more than I figured the way this draft is going. Everyone here is like on the same wave length. Well once you get past Jordan and Magic (and possibly Bird) there is no one else who is absolutely head and shoulders above every else at their position. And MJ is hard to draft around anyway. I thought for sure Duncan would fall to me at ten. Great minds think alike. Duncan is a top 10 all-time player and, for my money, fits this kind of team (each team will have atleast 4-5 recurring all-stars) better than anyone barring Magic.
