Magic has 3 inches on Kobe i'll take my chances. Gilmore has 4 inches and 30 pounds on Moses i'll take my chances there too

Magic only 3in, Gilmore only 4in. Wow so it is false that black guys are hung.

However Gilmore having a 4incher that weighs 30pds sounds impressive/he needs to see a doctor.

I think this came down to more familiar names, a lot of people don't know who Connie Hawkins, Nate the Great or Artis Gilmore are but they do know Davis and Moses.

So Gilmore over Moses now? I'm thinking if anyone here offered Artis for Moses they'd get laughed at

Thurmond would break Davis into pieces.

I also said Peja>Baylor in the last NBA draft so why does my statement shock you?


It shocks me because I took you at your word and voted against nos because of his defense.

Im not saying over but Gilmore doesn't get the love Moses does maybe he shouldn't but most people don't know anything about Gilmore.

How many drafts have we done now? I think everybody is mostly familiar with everybody at this point.

I can agree on this. But also this happens in every draft. The older guys who you (nos) normally take get less love because they don't have the name factor. Is that fair..hell NO because sometimes they might be better then the other guy but we haven't heard of your guy and sometimes we voters get lazy and don't look up stats. FYI though I have heard of all of your guys. Only hockey and milk took 1-3 guys I never heard of.

And that's why it's nice and should be required to have new guys participate.

Meh maybe know the names. But not really the players.

Sometimes it's pretty clear when voting is going more so on names. But what can you do? Fucking ESPN Does it themselves. Curry as the 4th best PG of all time LMFAO

I like Nos's backcourt more. Both match ups back there are from similar type players. In the end it is #1 and #5 vs #2 and #2 all time at their positions.

I like UK's front court more, Gervin and Malone for sure. I can't decide between Davis and Thurmond.

Every time I look at this I keep imaging the game breaking down into 40 foot shots between Curry and Maravich. This makes me smile.

I do think nos gave up too much versatility by going 2 guards on the bench.

I can buy that if he continues, but it was not that long ago that everyone was talking about Rose the same way. And where Curry's ankle have already been an issue, the chance is very real he goes the way of Rose and not the Hall.

I think his stardom is way to new to give him 4, especially when Isiah is at 5.

Yes, but the difference is that curry already has some the best 3 point seasons of all time and has MOST of the top ten of all time. He can already be called the best 3 point shooter of all time. All that so quickly into his career deserves the accolades.

Has he ever been picked later than the 5th round in our mocks??

I tried unsuccessfully to show I could just rotate Kobe to 3 Connie to 4 and bring in Maravich or Zeke. I think the strategy was a good one...

I love Gervin but he was a one trick pony all he did was score, wasn't a great passer, wasn't a great rebounder, wasn't a great defender. I think Connie pushes him all over the court. I also love Moses but lets not pretend he was something he wasn't. HE was a great rebounder and scorer, was a good defensive player, didn't pass the ball once he got it and didn't block shots. Gilmore was a good scorer, a great rebounder, great defensively and did block shots he also has 4 inches and 30 pounds on Moses, not sure I understand why everyone considers him a no brainer over Gilmore.

I think an overlooked guy in this is Cowens off the bench. I think he is a tough matchup as well
