Who Would You Draft?

It’s more difficult to find spectacular bigs than it is finding spectacular point guards.

 I said an elite scoring small forward like Carmelo Anthony would choose to play with an elite PG before an elite C because a PG makes the game easier for him.  Thats what a good PG is suppose to do.

Example the players on that Suns roster thought that Amare was more disposable then Nash because Nash is an elite PG who makes the game easier for other players.

 Okay r u just gonna hit the thumbs down or tell me how my reasoning is wrong.

There are alot of good pg’s in the NBA but there are very few good centers. I would rather have a dominate center like Howard than a pg like CP3 or Deron Williams.

 Who would you rather play with if your were a great scoring forward like Melo or Durant…

I used to think that PG’s were more important. But, recently I have realized the luxury of having a Center like Bogut, Bynum, Noah, Howard, Ming, Either of the Gasol brothers, or Brook Lopez. Most teams try to get a bulk of their points from the paint because those are the easiest shots. Well, when you have a center that can block 1-2 shots or more (like the ones listed above) than that forces the other team to take more shots from the outside thus causing them to miss because they are harder. When you don’t, well you are probably going to get killed on the inside therefore loose the game. 

A PG who can distribute the ball well and is the glue to your team, is helpful and definitely needed, but there are so many PG’s who can do that, and I don’t see a shortage anytime soon. Therefore, yes you are right Big Men are more important. Sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice one of the other, but unfortunately you can’t sacrifice a quality bigman unlike you can a PG because their is such a shortage of bigmen than there are quality PG’s

Name the last team built around a point guard that won a championship?

I’d choose a dominant big man over a ball dominant point guard every single day of the week.

But who’s next the great big coming out and how many point guards can we name that appear to be lottery picks this year and next…It’s a Guard’s world and we all want a great C or even PF but the truth is there aint a lot out there…

Rajon Rondo is a great PG, but besides him…

10- Derek Fisher

09- Derek Fisher

07- Tony Parker *Some people could argue this, but I don’t consider him a great PG. Good, above average, but not great

06- Gary Payton (past prime)/Jason Williams (past prime)

Who else did these teams have? ’06 Heat had Wade/Shaq, ’07 Spurs had Ginobili and Duncan, ’09 & ’10 Lakers had Kobe/Pau.

you can win with a corpse at PG if you have a elite scorer at Sg or Sf and an elite Big man at the Pf/C spot…but in a draft you go for the BPA and always take bigs at your own risk…They can always look like the smart move but then ypou have the Oden’s of the world who make you look stupid for drafting ahead of an elite scorer like Durant…Sure Oden looked like the smart pick but would they love to take that one back…The Blazers may have a Ring if they drafted Durant

Billups?

Zeke?

It depends on the player because Shaq is a dominate big and can pass which means he gets players open shots that way and good point guard create shots for his teammates.  Most scorers would probably rather have a great point guard but shooters would rather have a good post man or some one who could get them wide open shots.

 And going by this argument tell me why Demarcus Cousins wasn’t the first pick in the draft?  Why was Wall just another PG picked before him when they both are going to obviously be one of the best at their positions with Demarcus having a better chance because of a lack of competition.  And Why was Rose taken over Beasly who could of been a dominant Power Forward coming into the league.
