Theres a very good chance that I won't draft a center. Yes nobody can guard Neon, but streetball players are selfish and aren't always looking to feed the post even if thats the best way to win. And most streetball games are quick games to ~15 by 2s and 1s....Billy Hoyle just needs to get hot and hit a few 2 pointers and the game will be over just like that.

Round 1, Pick 5

Lewis Scott - Utah Jazz - Celtic Pride

You guys have fun taking your College freshman, high schoolers and white boys who can't even dunk, I'll take the best player in the NBA, star of the World Champion Utah Jazz, Lewis Scott. No one else in this draft has the ability to single handedly take over a game and put up points like Lewis Scott does.

Team so far:

Lewis Scott

We take Moses Guthrie from the movie "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh", played by Julius "Dr J" Erving.

I must admit, I have not seen that movie, but judging by my b-ref knowledge of Erving and a couple of youtube clips of that movie, he seems good enough.

never heard of him....just to be clear, we're getting the character as they were portrayed in the movie and not the actor, right?

Serious question because I can't remember: Did the Blue Chips storyline make it clear that Neon was the #1 recruit and clearly better than everyone else? Because White Men Can't Jump made it quite clear that nobody could beat Billy Hoyle.

Come on, he was a street hustler! If he was truly unstoppable, he'd be making millions in the league instead of getting left by Rosie Perez because he gambled away all their money

What? He lost in the movie, and struggled to beat other street players on a regular basis. Lewis Scott is to Billy Hoyle as prime Michael Jordan is to Bobbo Fitos.

A freshman dominated team(dominated by Neon) beat the Bobby Knight led Hoosiers who were ranked #1 in the country in the first game of the season that year so yeah it was pretty understood he was the #1 incoming player.

also thought of another top notch guy who should be first rounder.

LFR's 2nd account checking in here...just wanted to say that we couldn't have been in a worse spot for this draft.

#3 pretty much blows...top 2 were pretty obvious to both of us, but we're going to do our best to build around Saleh.

Unless I'm TOTALLY missing something, I have no idea who your #1 could be.

I honestly think Neon is far and away the clear #1...and if, for some unknown reason, he didn't go #1, Jesus was the clear #2 to us.

Ok, pick PMd to LenC. Feel free to skip me quickly if the timing doesn't work, I don't want to hold up this draft.
