Grant Hill SF

He will fit in perfectly with my team. He was also an underrated "on the ball" defender

In his second season (1995-96), he once again led the All-Star fan balloting, this time edging Michael Jordan (Jordan's first All-Star game after returning since retiring in 1993). During the 1995-96 season, Hill showcased his all-round abilities by leading the NBAn triple-doubles (10). He also won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta as a member of the U.S. men's basketball team, where he had the team's fifth highest scoring average (9.7) and led the team in steals (18). Hill's 1996-97 season was his finest yet, with averages of 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He became the first player since Larry Bird in 1989-90 to average 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in a season, an accomplishment that has not been duplicated since. Once again, Hill led the league in triple-doubles, where his 13 triple-doubles represented 35 percent of the league's triple-double total that season. He was the league's Player of the Month for January and was also awarded NBA's IBM Award, given to the player with the biggest statistical contributions to his team. He finished third in MVP voting, behind Karl Malone and Michael Jordan

Not the greatest playmaker out there. He is one of the greatest defensive point guards that ever played the game.

Cheeks played 15 years as a point guard in the NBA, including 11 with the Philadelphia 76ers, He earned four trips to the NBA All-Star Game, and he helped the 76ers earn three trips to the NBA Finals in a four-year span in the early 1980s (1980, 1982, and 1983), including one NBA championship in 1983. While starting at point guard for a Sixers team that at times included stars such as Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney, and Charles Barkley, Cheeks was well-regarded for his unselfish team play and excellent defensive skills. As a result, he was named to four straight NBA all-defensive squads from 1983–86, and then earned a spot on the second team in 1987.
In NBA history, Cheeks ranks third all-time in steals and eighth all-time in assists. At the time of his retirement from the NBA in 1993, Cheeks was the NBA all-time leader in steals and ranked fifth all-time in assists. He averaged 11.7 points per game for his career and notched over 2 steals per contest.

Ah finally -- now I can spill the beans that you were steadfastly looking for a defensive PG to pair with Kobe and make the all defense backcourt. ;)
 
I'm getting anxious. Some nice picks out there that would look great on my team :). Have a feeling one of them is gonna be snatched up in the next couple of hours tho

Yeah that is the reason why I had to get a playmaker in Hill because there is not many defensive playmakers out there. I honestly thought Gary Payton would get back to me and then when Walt was taken I had to go to plan C.

I was aiming for the same thing, but a Pippen/Payton/Mutombo Trio

but noooooo you had to pick Glove
 
This has really slowed over the last couple days.

Have a couple guys picked for my next choice, but I think I may have left it too late to pick them! :o:(
 
PMs have been sent...Kings4lyfe32 timed out, and can make his replacement pick as soon as possible (or he can wait until after I pick:p).

GeraldWallace#3 and KingsFaithful are on the clock.

GW will time out tonight at 7:40 pst

This might surprise a few people...

Josh Smith

Yeah, there are better scorers out there...but I don't need a scorer right now... I need someone who can do it all and Smith fits that pretty well.

Best Statistical Season (so far...) 07/08 season

17.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.4 apg, 1.5 spg, 2.8 bpg, FG% .457

With him and Julius Erving on the floor I'm pretty sure their won't be a lack of excitement from my team...

I'm not sure who to PM... this is getting really out of order. I know Kingslyfe is next but he has yet to make his 3rd round selection...so...I guess I'll just send him another one.
 
Very surprising pick there. But hey he's an exciting player and I love that! Also yeah PM Kings4lyfe. His other pick timed out so that doesn't matter.
 
GeraldWallace#3 has 2 picks.
Last of the 3rd round, 1st of the fourth.
Timeout happens at 7:40 tonight.

On the clock.
GeraldWallace#3 (Two picks)
Kings4lyfe32...Who has already timed out once.

Looks like we may have to wait until 7:40 to start this thing up again.
