He can still bear down if needed and probably get a stop or two, but he only has enough left in the tank to work hard on one end. That means the coach will have to try and hide him defensively.</div>
    oooh well damn i screwed up -__- but well I still think it was a solid pick.

    Randolph, Murphy and McDyess is a bad combination. They are all good rebounders, good shooters and Randolph is often unstoppable in the post. But they all need the ball in good position to be effective, play less than zero defense, and can't pass. Ugly.

    You can still get a defensive minded center in the 7th to balance out the starting lineup. However, with Redd and Melo, you have to focus on scoring 120+ a night anyways because you won't stop anyone.

    I agree, at this point you have an offensive team, and if you're gonna focus on offense you gotta go all the way, if your gonna be good at something might as well be the best.

    Wow, Grant hill is definitely a 6th round pick, at the most. Terrible. He's like 35. Good god, he'll be lucky if he plays 40 games next year.

    He should be okay if he's used sparingly like McDyess, and he's probably more effective, too.

    But he was picked in the 5th round. That's like picking JR Smith in rounds 2-5, and expecting him to come off the bench.

    Oh wait

    Real has asked me to skip him rather than hold up the draft because he won't be able to get on his computer.

    Thanks. I think he fits my team well. I picked him up in the 10th round last year, amazing what a season could do.

    I like this feisty team a lot, but big Z doesn't seem to fit- and he's pretty creaky, though he had a nce playoffs.

    I selected BigZ coz hes the only legit 7 footer left when it was my turn to select. Whats good about my team and espicially BigZ is that they have a lot of playoff expierience. BigZ has a decent mid-range game which he could benefit from Nash. But injuries is a major set back I agree.

    I do think my team can go far in the playoffs, but champs? I'd have to see howd the other teams did.
