Well, I guess maybe I should celebrate a team that doesn't have a top 8 player making it to the Finals but thats not how basketball works

Its not my fault that I got the last pick in the draft and still made it to the finals. Once again I really liked your team Clayton it was a close matchup. Playing against Dirk is no easy task for any team.

Is he? Every good thing he bring on the offensive end is countered by the fact that he can't play defense at all

Steve Nash is one of the best offensive PG of all time and by far the best since Stockton. Offense is alot more important than defense at the PG position. Anybody Nash wouldn't be able to guard, wouldn't be able to guard Nash on offense.

Nos get expected for a bunch of PM's coming your way. (WAAAAY more then normal)

Nos might be right about Bill Russell but that was before my time. I don't think Russell would be as relevant in today's game where talent pools are spread out and players are more athletic.

Steve Nash is one of the best offensive PG of all time and by far the best since Stockton. Offense is alot more important than defense at the PG position. Anybody Nash wouldn't be able to guard, wouldn't be able to guard Nash on offense.

The problem with Nash's great offensive talent is that he makes players who can't create their own shot better. That is actually a bit of a trap because it makes the offense reliant on Nash and somewhat predictable. There was a couple playoff series where Nash would go up against a good defensive team and have to reset his pick and rolls 2 or 3 times and then run under the hoop and around to the other side.

Nash did make players better. Amare and Marion had offensive metrics that they really shouldn't have had. So what he brings to the table offensively matters in cases where the other players bring something defensively and can shoot perimeter shots and run.

But players being able to create their own shot kinda matters. Ball movement after the first pass really matters. Nash isn't an offensive panacea. The Suns pick and roll game did change the NBA but it wasn't enough to create great teams with.

Meanwhile on the defensive end, having Nash means you will 100% be giving up open 3pt shots to someone and you need to have defensive players to prevent your team from getting gutted from the inside out, too.

My goal one day is not to win a mock draft but have Clayton think its a good team.
