If you believe Bosh is a good defender, then thats fine- differing views are what make this draft great. But put forth a solid argument and try to actually convince us.
Unlike most, I actually have some "work" to do... The fact is Bosh is young, still rough around the edges but has the makings and tools to be a great leader and star in this league. His versatility at the 4 and 5 makes him a great value choice moving forward into the draft, he's definately more promising at the 4 spot. I don't think his defense is anything noteworthy but I also think that comparing him to a poor defender is unjust. Granted, there are plenty of guys on this list who are "one sided" players. I don't feel that the pick should require a lot of convincing, most guys thought I got him at a good spot, those who did not agree will not be getting any trade requests from me! lol peace out

Man, that sucks. I really wanted Rodman on my fast paced run-and-chuck team.

I guess we'll have to see how it pans out.

BigCat taking someone who isn't among the all-time greats or in the hall of fame in the early 2nd round is a mockery to the game of basketball imo

Totally disagree. Dumars wasn't one of the 3 I wanted to trade up for, but he was probably 4th or 5th on my list. He brings great defense and great efficiency despite shooting a decent amount- how many players bring that combo? And I think thats the most important combo to have in this league. Love love love the pick.

Edit: wow ok, nm he didn't.
PM me the player you're thinking of because I'm pretty sure we have the same player in mind and I"m curious(note: no way it'll influence me as I definitely have 3 guys I want, so don't worry about that)

a ton actually at the sg/sf spot bring this, although if he plays dumars at pg I love the pick a lot more which I think he will.

tbach with the mid-late 90s all stars. Was wondering where Kemp would go.

He was the best PF available at my pick IMO (besides probably Brand, but Kemp fits better with Hill)

I really, really like his team. Although will be funny in the last season when Grant Hill has 1 ankle and Shawn Kemp has no nose.

I haven't chimed in much on this thread, but I think Kemp is a great pickup, especially paired with Grant Hill. And in this fantasy draft you don't have to worry about paying him enough so that he can keep up with child support payments!

I properly used "has the makings" I'm not trying to show that he's proven anything. It's just impossible to think you can compare 18 years to 4 or 5. You can't so don't do it....

Then I realized that Rodman was 25 as a rookie, didn't hit the start of his peak until 29, rarely ever played even near a full season, and has a career PER of 14.6, which made me completely fall out of love with him. Rodman should actually really drag a team down in this format especially as high as he went.

lol at the idea of McHale being underrated, if anything he's grossly overrated by the people in this draft, but I should have known better since half of you are Celtics fans. It makes me almost want to give up already considering some of the ******ed bias that will be involved.
