Yes Mamba, it's your pick.
Phil RiversWho is BOLO??
I definitely did do that, which is why I named those 2 players in particular as opposed to other players I definitely felt Melo should have been picked ahead of (even left out Wiggins because of the whole "drafting off potential" argument that I don't really agree with but whatever).I have Pippen at SF...I'm filling out my starters and needed a PF. Had no need for Melo.
*edit*
And here's the other thing...rather than saying "i can't believe so and so was taken over ______," maybe you should look at the roster construction of the team/GM you're questioning to see if said player was an actual fit.
Melo has been a great stretch 4. He has been at his best in recent seasons playing the stretch 4 on the Knicks as well as on Team USA (Something that is worth noting on these kind of teams, that are filled up with NBA legends much like Team USA).
If you don't think Melo could play that stretch 4 role better than Jamison, Idk what to tell you. Especially next to a defender/facilitator like Scottie, who is basically the ideal player to share the frontcourt with Melo because they would compliment each other so well. I mean I would get it if guys like Rice or Jamison were lock down defenders or some **** (like Artest, for instance) but Jamison was one of the worst defenders I have ever seen and was a consistent good numbers, losing team kind of player.
Melo isnt a lockdown specialist by any means, but he is better defensively than Twan and Rice ever were, and also the better scorer. Plus Melo, up until recent seasons on God-awful Knicks teams, never played on a loser like Jamison did for 75% of his career. Also, through Team USA, Melo has shown the ability to be a focal point and even step up his game in a complimentary role when he plays with the best of the best. Jamison was never that kind of player...
wait...i just saw laimbeer was chosen
at PF at that
he was going to be my center. imagine having to go through GP, Artest, Malone AND Laimbeer
Antawn Jamison is trash and Melo is just so much better then him at pretty much everything though.
ok, buddy.
