1995 Draft Discussion

So far the draft's gone mostly as expected imo.

The only 2 picks that surprised me were Joe Smith at 4 (that might be my Wolves bias though ) and O'Bannon at 9. I think McDyess is better than Smith, so getting him at 8 is good value. I liked Nuggets grabbing Stackhouse with #3 to secure the perimeter pick as there was a glut of premium forwards available and I'm certain Stackhouse would have gone 4 if he picked, say, Marshall #3.

I was curious if Knicks would pass on Stoudamire having Reeves, but I think he was right to go BPA.

And then getting a regular amazing player at #10 is always a nice haul. Probably would have been my pick had I kept it despite not having any need for big men.

Im in asset gathering mode, i always go bpa in those situations.

Was really hoping you'd let Eurelijus Žukauskas drop one more spot

Had Marshall/Stack/Stoudy/KG/Sheed going in that order by sims. But KG got upped a bit, same goes for Marshall and Stoudy… very weak guard class. Might have a sleeper like Murdock though

I thought Marshall was a surefire top 2 as well. Nuggets got good picks at both 3 and 5.

The Kings are good at a lot of things
Making fast draft picks is not one of them.

And he takes the guy I want. Beautiful.

Whats crazy is that their team is stacked at PG and SG so I looked at who was expiring and their PF's are all expiring so I took the top PF on the board. If they had made their pick, I would guess it wouldnt have been him

For a bit of fun, I looked back at the '95 from 1.0

This is why I refused to pick Damon again.

Wouldn't hate an early-mid 2nd if anyone doesn't want theirs (future 2nds available too)

Files have been updated through pick 31

Draft will finish up tomorrow night (10ish ET)

Send lists to me if you want specific players, label the PM as "Team Name" Draft List

Another side note: I looked at the FA class and woof its bad

Good selection of perimeter players imo.

So since my last comment, the picks I really liked were:

Respert (Grizzlies): Freaking Grizzlies. Ugh. But the man had really appealing notes despite my general distrust of inside-only SGs.

Zakauskas (Knicks): Preferred him over the other high-potential C in Tarlac. Very curious how those two big men end up.

Hoiberg (Magic): Was my top target for #33. Darn!

Rencher (Suns): Was also high on my list for my pick. Seemingly has a high all-around ceiling while also starting with high handling which alone could keep him in the league for several seasons.
