Iverson is easily one of the best two or three scorers from the guard position in the last 10 years or so. The #1 thing should be if the guy can play or not and he obviously can. The guy can do pretty much anything for you at the one or two. Obviously at 6'0 it's going to be tough for him to cover a big guard but that's fine because when he's on offense he's causing an even bigger headache for the opposition. The team he is on now is okay but they are going absolutley no where. They have no chemistry and play absolutely no defense. Melo looks as if he's turning into a malcontent and it doesn't look like the coach and management or on the same page. Allen Iverson is not the problem with that team as most who know the situation will say.
If he's so good why didn't you take him 7th overall? Also if he's so easy to build around why wasn't he picked sooner? Also nobody other than you is mentioning that it was steal at that pick. Maybe some of his biggest problems can be fixed but I'd still rather build around a lot of other players over him. Maybe it's just me, maybe I think he's overrated. He's a special player I just don't think he's that great.
Also of the guys selected in the first round, I don't think too highly of:
Reggie-Great pure shooter, but that's all he was. Sick clutch too, but I don't think he's first round talent.
Isiah-Great player just went way too high.
Wilkins-Eh..........
AI-Mentioned above.
Hill-Too many injury issues for me. At the top of his game he was amazing but I think he's injury prone rather than having multiple freak injuries.
Worthy-Nothing really special, still suprised he's in HOF.
VC-Knuckle head and inefficient player.
I'm also a huge UNC fan and I mentioned 2 players from UNC. Don't get me wrong I think VC and Worthy are good players just not top 40 in the last 30 years to build around.
