NBA Prime Draft ( Currently Active Players )

[My Chumps]

Yep, two good picks there  8)

[Jay]

My pick hey. Give me a minute will just do a little write-up

[Windigo]

Hoping for the luck of the draft with a four leaf cover. Or is it only 3.....? :o

[Jay]

I doubt this pick will surprise anyone, but in fact it has surprised me! Never thought this bloke would slip to me at 5 but hey I'm not complaining. Get one of the most dominant players in the NBA during his prime - doubt it will win me too many votes due to his badass attitude but I could not pass up one of my favourite players of all-time.

He won the MVP award in 2004 at averages of 24ppg 14rpg 5apg. His defense was outstanding too averaging 2 blocks per game. This is when I consider him at his prime.

Ever since his 2nd season, he has made the all-star team every single time and was named MVP of the game back in 2003. In 2007-2008 he was named defensive player of the year and qualified for the all defensive team first team eight times. He is also a 4-time rebounding champion.

I will take 2008 NBA Champion and without a doubt the most passionate and intense basketballer of all-time... Kevin Garnett

[Windigo]

Haha, I knew it.  8)

[Jay]

Haha, I knew it.  8)

couldnt help myself :P but stats dont lie, so it isnt all my bias!

Guy won 130 of 135 possible first place votes for the 2004 MVP count. Thats dominance!

[Windigo]

Haha, the Franchise was a force back in the day certainly.

I was thinking of pick a high scoring player to carry the team on offence but instead, im going to go for in my opinion the best PG of this era and easily top 5 of all time. I can find points elsewhere

This guy is a beast in defence standing at 6-4 and making the all star defence team 9 times he should be able to shut down most guards. He is an elite passer and one of the best rebounding point guards.

This is a guy you want to build a team around, defence wins rings and this guy will be a leader in D and will make everyone else look better. Cant shoot as well as Nash but i think he has him beat as an overall player.


JASON KIDD

[tbagrocks]

Was secretly hoping he'd slip to my second pick, nice one!

[Holz]

yeah not a shot of that  i thought of going for a scorer now but really i think kidd is the best player not picked. I have gone over a few stats and there are heaps of guys who can sore and rebound. Not that many guys left who are top 5 of all time in their position

[gossiboy]

Sorry fellas. For some reason my home and mobile phone Internet go through periods where fanfooty just won't load. Pick up in 15

[gossiboy]

CP3.

The 2008-09 season from Chris Paul was one of the greatest of all time. 22.8 points, 11 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 steals a game while shooting 50% led to Paul posting a PER (player efficiency rating) of 29.96 which ranks 17th all time and 5th amongst active players (Lebron 3x and *UNDRAFTED* x1 the only active players to beat him) one of the very best point guards of all time.

[Holz]

Good pick. Happy to see PGs get picked now I don't need one

[tbagrocks]

I can't say I was expecting three Pg's in the first round :o let's hope it pays off

I am a little supprised on two players still out there

[gossiboy]

There's about 5 guys I can't choose between for my next pick. Hopefully quinny takes 2 of them to make it easier.
