Projected #2 and #4 picks... slipped to #4 and #5. Missed out on the big 3 then Big Dog and Juwan Howard didn't declare for the draft. Really ruined my draft. Here's what I got:
#4 Brent Barry SG 22 6'6'' 185 C+ B B- C C A "Strengths: Great spot up shooter with great range. Great court vision. Could easily play PG. Smart with the ball. Great scorer and passer. Will play the passing lanes for steals. Impressive leaper. A gazelle in the open court. A rare case of athleticism and talent.
Weaknesses: Subpar defender. Quick for a SG, but won't blow by 70% of PGs in the league. Needs to put on some weight at the next level.
Scout's Take: Could very well take the reigns from Larry Bird when he retires. Has the upside to be a great player at the next level. Will go mid lotto."
Choice was between him and Donyell Marshall. Didn't like Travis Best or Yinka Dare this high.
#5 Jalen Rose SF 21 6'8'' 210 C+ C+ C+ B- C A "Strengths: Good scorer. Pretty solid jump shot. Capable ball-handling skills along with good court vision. Tough defender that's always improving. Impressive skill set for many positions. Very all-around player, maybe one of the most balanced in the entire draft. Above average athleticism.
Weaknesses: Other than strength and post game, no glaring weaknesses.
Scout's Take: Jalen Rose follows Chris Webber to the UOSLR a year later, unlike teammate Juwan Howard. Rose has an all-around game that will make teams salivate. Capable of playing the 1-3 positions, Rose should be a good starter for years to come, maybe a borderline All Star. Expect Rose to go mid-lotto."
I was taking Rose with 1 of my top picks regardless.
#15 Andrei Fetisov SF 22 6'10'' 220 B- C+ C C C+ B "Scouts love his ability to score down in the paint. Very savvy in the post. The rest of his game is unpolished and the general consensus is his ceiling isn't too high. However, he could end up as a nice 6th man. Mid to late 1st Round pick."
Never played in the NBA but 1 of the small handful of players that had "mid 1st" in their profile. That and potential 6th man is why I grabbed him here. Other choice was Sharone Wright.
#25 Zeljko Rebraca C 22 7'0'' 257 C+ C D- B- C B no draft notes on him... had to go big my team is all swingmen... no expectations... other choice Carlos Rogers
#31 Howard Eisley PG 21 6'3'' 180 C B C+ C D B "A scoring spark of a PG, Eisley will be a very good back-up at best. He should have a solid career. Late 1st Round pick."
doubt will ever be good enough to play, either him or Brooks Thompson was my choice.
Really no expectations out of these guys - tried for best available but now i have 3 SFs in Rick Fox Michael Finley and Jalen Rose and 2 SGs in Brent Barry and Doug Christie. No PG, PF or C.

You have lots of good players there, should be able to trade for a nice big or PG or both.

Would have went faster if it wasn't that idle.

Kris Bruton SF 23 6'7'' 218 C+ C- C B+ B- B
Very solid first round pick, if he could get that defense up to A-, he'd be a very useful player for us.
