Agreed but I picked Billups because of position scarcity, there are tons of sg/sf's who can defend/shoot almost like Dumars could, but there is only one other PG who can defend/shoot like Billups can and that was Stockton.

Dumar's ran the point as well fwiw.

it's funny, the trend early on was all centers, now it seems PGs/combo guys are going FAST. i suppose the next rush will either be PFs or SFs, amirite?

I actually don't mind the Gilbert pick especially considering his first pick was Deke. At the same time, I can think of a number of players I would've taken over him, but that's the whole fun of this, amirite?

Wow, Gilbert?! Injuries, inefficiency, wow. He was going to be picked in this round sure but I wasnt even considering him (maybe that because I already have one injury prone guy and had to rule out other injury prone guys)

Dumars is a solid pick in my eyes, great role player and always got the job done. He has to get picked eventually, maybe a tad early but then again, maybe the alternative options did not work for his team.

Dumars, on the other hand, I am not so hot on. And to say that he's better than Billups is a complete joke.

Didn't know that (I didn't watch much 80's bball), if you put him at pg then I love the pick, although you don't really have an elite scorer in this league (no I don't consider cwebb elite in this league).

wait, checked out who serg drafted first - mt muhtombo. guys gotta consider who everyone is playing with. i really like the gilbert pick BECAUSE he's paired with mutombo. gilbert loves the ball constantly in his hands, he wont need to share it on his team. in fact, i cant really think of anyone "better" for his team, if he's building that sort of tema

i agree with this - emphasis mine.

i mean, dumars is a great role player, but as the 2nd cornerstone, i just dont know if he can get the job done

not that he's not TO prone, but a better indicator is TO%, and although Gilbert is still bad, paints a less bad picture.

I can think of 2 or 3 spot shooters that should have gone before Arenas... I'm actually suprised to see him go this early, way bigger shock than Dumars imo
