Board Mock Draft - All-Time Players

If he doesn't respond to his G. Monroe pick before his next selection, I'll just keep picking for him and moving things along.

Tas is on the clock....

Luckily they don't give Villanueva to him, I'm hoping he is available wen I'm on the clock...

(Can reverse psychology works?...)

Monroe over Kareem, Barkley and Olajuwon? It's a bold move, hita. Let's see if it pays off.

With the 7th pick of the All-time Players Draft....

S.J. selects...

Shaquille O'Neal!!!

1st round, pick #8: Larry Bird

2nd round, pick #1: Oscar Robertson

2nd Round:

#1) BillLaimbeer: Oscar Robertson
#2) S.J.: Kobe Bryant
#3) blueadams:
#4) Walter
#5) Tas:
#6) hitafreethrow:
#7) coynejeremy:
#8) Laimbrane:

I swear I'm not a Lakers fan, but those are the best players available, at least, in my opinion.

You should just keep going, S.J., and build the 2004 Lakers - Payton, Malone, Shaq, Kobe...

Damnit. I was hoping Shaq or Big O would slip. This is tough..

S.J.'s got some major team chemistry issues already lol - is the simulator going to account for that!?

I'll take that kid out of West Virginia - Jerry West.

I thought he would go with Derek Fisher....

Just a couple of mechanical questions here:

- it looks like whatifsports charges a fee per user to select historical teams like this. I'm OK with that, but just wanted to put it out there to see if that is true for our exercise and to make sure everyone else is OK with it if it is the case.

- they also have various parameters that you can control, such as style of play, target minutes for each player, rotations, etc. We'd have to all agree on how much of that will be standardized vs under each player's control for matchups.

I made a couple of "Dream Teams" and had them play each other multiple times. There is no fee to do that.

Why? The Pistons haven't.
