Modern Era NBA Build a Franchise Draft Discussion - Let's Get'er Done - Page 236 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Yea Mano's description was much better from what I remember. You never really saw him inside 8 feet, nor did you see him playing above the rim. He was definately a good shooter, would handle the ball a bit, solid passer, aside from that he definately didn't fit the 4 spot well. From what I remember, he was always a 3 because of his 3 point abilities.

That's kind what I remember from his Seattle days too. But I didn't see him play for Indiana, when he got a ton of boards and barely shot any 3s, so that's why I was wondering. In Seattle, it could have been a team need rather than skills issue - they already had Kemp at the 4.

Detlef was awesome getting to the rim, one of the craftier finishers and passers.

Here's a vid Serg. Detlef highlights start around 2:15. If I could compare Detlef to anyone, I'd say he was a poor man's Larry Bird...

Ya you claim McHale's defense (a top 3 defensive all first team 3 times, top all defensive 2nd team 3 times) is close to Barkley's who was voted the worst defender of all time in one poll, yet you aren't off....sure

very disapointed when I woke up right now, The reason I wanted to trade up was to get mcguirre. Sick pick and the steal of the draft thus far.

yea, I don't get how seadood is off on Detlef. From what I remember, if the other team put a 3 on him, he could post up, but if they went big against him, he could rain from 3.

We're talking about Detlef, yet without fail epippen manages to bring his first round pick into the discussion. Is it one big level on all of us? I doubt it.

I mean, b-ref lists him as a forward-center and at his peak he pulled in 10 Rebs per36. So I think its safe to say he could bang on the inside.

You bet your ascot I would. CWebb is prob the best though, followed by KG and Timmay.

He may have bulked up later in his career - I mostly saw him play against the Jazz when he was with Dallas and Seattle, and he wasn't posting Malone much, so I may be underestimating his interior game. He was definitely a killer from long range.
