Marc Gasol please and thank you.

Nice one. Was thinking about him as well.

Pretty sure Dan's team strategy is to win each game 2-0. Defence for days!

The most tragic knee injury in NBA history happened to a player who physically was comparable to Magic Johnson. He was very athletic. He had amazing court vision. He could handle and pass better than anyone in the league today. He could knock down shots. He could defend.

In his second year in the league he knocked out the Bulls in the playoffs, knocked out Michael Jordan in his prime. He went all the way to the finals that year and it seemed then at the time that this PG had the material to potentially become the greatest PG of all-time. However, tragically the knee injury which led to six knee surgeries totally zapped his explosiveness and led to his career never reaching it's great potential. In his best years though he was as good as all those great ones already selected this week in here. So, with my next pick I select:

Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway

[BobLoblaw]

Great pick, he would've been my pick in early 6th. Probably top 10 PG, in terms of peak. A bit too hesitant to score, they might've won those finals if he was more assertive, nobody on Houston could guard him. Anyway, a great player overall.

He's playing with Kobe, Baylor and Ewing. He and Mutombo are perfect compliments in that starting five. That's a big lineup man. Penny is 6'7" and offers me some added versatility.


Little Penny also comes as part of the package.

[JimiCliff]

So maybe this is where I should have taken grant hill :/ lol

[BobLoblaw]

I'm trying to build a very long, well shooting, well passing, two way team here, and I need an elite defender to help cover all these great SGs and SFs.

6'9, athleticism, 3 points, great man defense, even better help defense, ability to handle and score if necessary: Paul George.

Once you get out of the first couple rounds everything is a toss up and highly debatable. I wouldn't sweat where you took Hill. I think Penny is a steal here considering what he could do in his prime. It was sky high in terms of potential. People forget now but when he came into the league, in those first four seasons, he was viewed like Kobe and LBJ were viewed in their prime early years. Nothing was impossible... Then he blew out his knee...

I wanted him for my bench (to pair with someone still left on the board). Very good pickup.

I think we are thinking similarly. My lineup so far:

g Walt Frazier, listed 6'4 without shoes, so I guess 6'5-6'6 with shoes, big and athletic enough that he guarded the best PG, SG or SF on the other team
g Paul George, 6'9
f Durant 6'10+, and freakishly long
f Garnett 7' or so
c Walton, listed at 6'11 because he thought that 7 footers were freaks, but in reality he's the same size as Kareem, about 7'2
