The Mastermind can do all!!

Come on, Ludo.

Shanahan isnt in any way associated with the NBA.

If you want a great offensive coach, choose the best ever: Don Nelson.

[RhymesayersDU]

Yeah, that is basically the most retarded thing I've seen in this thread.

I think that Ludo just got a bit lazy.

[azbroncfan]

I was going to pick Bowen or Ginobili and they both went 3 picks before mine. I 'll settle for a good rebounding, passing, 3pt shooting SF and one of the best 6th men of all time.

and for an all around kinda small forwad off tha bench

8 Lamar Odom — He’s so unique and talented, it’s crazy to believe Odom isn’t a consistent All-Star selection. One thing he is, though, is a consistent triple-double threat (15.9 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 4.8 apg). How many 6-10 lefties can handle and pass like a point guard but still be effective on the boards and as a scorer? When guarded by a smaller defender, Odom abuses them in the post with an arsenal of spins and jump hooks. If a big man should dare try his luck, Odom runs circles around them using dribble moves most guards would envy. His court vision is uncanny and he shoulders the majority of the ball-handling duties for the Lakers as a result. If he shot the ball more than the 12 times a game he averaged this year, he’d be even more of a problem.

[JCMElway]

OK, time for some defense and Shot blocking off the bench.

Elmore Smith, C, 7'1''

Elmore Smith (born May 9, 1949 in Macon, Georgia) is a retired American basketball player. A 7'1" center from Kentucky State University, he played for in the National Basketball Association from 1971 to 1979. He was a member of the Buffalo Braves, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Cleveland Cavaliers.

In his first season, Smith averaged 17.3 points per game and 15.2 rebounds per game and was named to the NBA's All-Rookie Team. His rebounding average of 15.2 is still the eighth highest ever by an NBA rookie.

Smith is best remembered for his shot-blocking. He led the league in total blocked shots twice (in 1974 and 1975), and holds the NBA record for most blocked shots in a game, with 17 [1]. He achieved this mark against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 28, 1973, while playing for the Lakers. Smith's 4.85 blocks per game from the 1973-74 season (the first season blocked shots were officially recorded in the NBA) is the third highest ever. He was also a skilled rebounder, and he averaged a double-double (13.4 points, 10.6 rebounds) over the course of his career.

At this stage of the draft getting a guy who averaged a double-double, along with almost 3 blocks a game, is very nice. Elmore Smith is currently 5th on the all time list for blocks per game with 2.9. And his position on the all time stats for blocks could be different because blocks were not a recorded stat for the first two years of his career.

Ludo, the draft picks are on the first to posts of the thread, both by round and alphabetically.

Technically, this whole thing is pointless ludo, not just who's coaching your team. That said, it's a fun way to pass time in the off season.

[JCMElway]

Phibacka is on the clock until 5 AM CST.

Angryllama may make a pick at any time.

I select DON NELSON COACH OK SO I TRIED 20 DIFF PICS I GIVE UP

[epicSocialism4tw]

I'm really trying to give myself an advantage on the frontline, so with the next pick I will take ABA MVP and monster rebounding/defending/scoring forward George McGinnis. He can come in behind Garnett or Nowitzki to shut down the boards and power his way to the rim on the other end. McGinnis is yet another MVP and another champion to bolster the poise of the Biochemnerd Parade.

George McGinnis

Nicknames: "Big Mac", "The Baby Bull"
Ht. 6-8
Wt. 235
College - Indiana
ABA Team: Indiana (71-72 to 74-75)

All-American at Indiana University. Drafted # 1 by Pacers in 1971. ABA All-Rookie Team in 1972. ABA Co-MVP with Julius Erving in 74-75. Led ABA in Scoring in 74-75 with 29.8 ppg. Second in ABA Scoring 2 years in a row: 72-73 (27.6 ppg) and 73-74 (25.9 ppg). 3-Time ABA All-Star. 3-Time Member of ABA All-Pro Team. Played on 2 Indiana Pacers ABA Championship Teams.

From Jim O'Brien's 1972-73 Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball:
After first working against McGinnis, Willie Wise, who's regarded as one of the toughest two-way forwards in pro ball, offered this remark: "The man's just too strong to be playing basketball." . . . After the rookie had 30 points and 20 rebounds against New York, Nets' coach Lou Carnesecca called him "a heavyweight contender." . . . Always remember him grabbing rebound, dribbling length of court through everyone, then throwing a behind the back pass to Roger Brown for an easy layup along the baseline . . . Signed with Pacers after sophomore season at Indiana University, where he led Big Ten in scoring (29.9) and rebounds (14.5) . . . Was All-America in high school in football as well as basketball. "I think I could've played pro football too," he says. "I think football helped me physically in basketball. I like going inside, knocking a few people around and coming out with the ball."

The summer of 1974 was a time of drastic change for Indiana. The Pacers traded franchise mainstays Mel Daniels and Roger Brown, and signed some promising but untested rookies, like Len Elmore and Billy Knight. After much uncertainty, superstar George McGinnis was signed to a new contract. Read about the rebuilding of the Pacers in Dan Pattison's article McGinnis Signing Completes Pacers' Transitional Summer.

You can have those ABA inflated scrubs.

I'll add another 20-10 PF at 6-9

Shareef Abdur Raheem.

I was gonna select Jimmy Connors to coach my team, then I had a second thought and figured that Mary Lou Retton and Edwin Moses would be great late additions, but I have a sleeper in mind that will bring more enthusiasm to my team.

Next Round!!

[Master___Pain]

Nice pick Yak.

Rhymes is up

[RhymesayersDU]

I'm taking Marcus Camby, Center.

Defensive minded, averaged 11 PPG, 9 RPG, 2 APG. For his career, averaged 2.5 BPG, with 4 seasons of 3+ BPG. A Defensive Player Of The Year.

He's been known as fragile Marcus, but playing reduced minutes would probably allow him to play in my more games, I'd hope.

Good pick Rhymes. He was on my draft board. I've got a great player for my next pick, I hope he makes it back to me.

RShack is on the clock

Man Goblin is on Deck

[JCMElway]

I PMed Rshack and ManGob so we'll see if we can't pick up the pace.

[Rshackleford]

I thought for sure my next pick would have been taken by now:
(F) Danny Manning

[Master___Pain]

Man Goblin can select at anytime....

With my pick I select F/C Larry Nance


Nance was the first ever winner of the NBA slam dunk contest in 1984. His nick name might be one of the best all time "The High-Ayatolla of Slamola" Larry Nance was a 3-time NBA All-Star 1985, 1989, and 1993, and the NBA All-Defensive Team First Team member in 1989, and the Second Team Member in 1992 and 1993. He was also consistently one of the league's better shot blockers, averaging 2.2 blocks per game during his career.

Nance is currently a drag racer in the International Hot Rod Association, mainly in the Pro Stock series.

Team to be named later selects:
Rasheed Abdul Wallace (born September 17, 1974, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association. He currently plays power forward for the Detroit Pistons. At 6 ft 11 in (213 cm) and 230 lb (104.3 kg), Wallace plays power forward or center depending on the opposition.

Originally selected out of the University of North Carolina by the Washington Bullets (now the Wizards) in the 1995 NBA Draft, Wallace was named to the All-Rookie second team following his first season. Following the same season he was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Rod Strickland and Harvey Grant. He had a career high 42 points against the Denver Nuggets in 2000 and was a key member of the Blazers team that made it to the Western Conference Finals that same year. Wallace had a career best 19.4 points per game in 2002 for the Blazers.

In 2004 Rasheed Wallace helped power the Detroit Pistons to the NBA title and obtained his first championship ring. In Detroit, Wallace has become known for selfless team play and integrated with Ben Wallace to form the core of the Pistons' smothering defensive game. He dubbed the duo "Wallace x 2" shortly after he arrived in Detroit in 2004.
