Yup, you’re right. I skimmed right past him.

The 6 retired MVP/HOFer’s with no ring are Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and Drazen Petrovic.

Nash, Nowitzki, and LeBron are all active.

Iverson is in limbo.

Thoroughly enjoyable read.Not to nitpick, but wouldn’t Steve Nash count as an active MVP/HOF who has yet to win a title?

I agree with Davis and Udoh at 10, but I also like Paul George. I know it is a bit high for him according to mock drafts, but I like him a lot better than Henry. Henry is a jump shooter, while George can get his own shot. Furthermore, George at 6’8″ would add length, and all of us know what length does for teams like todays Lakers and the Pacers 7-8 years ago. I’m not knocking Henry, but he seems to be a bigger version of Rush. In short, I think we need another perimeter player like George to make the all important triple threat that playoff teams have with Granger and Hibbert, or draft an atheletic PF to defend the paint and rebound. However, I fear we will go with a PG and reach with Bledsoe or that kid from Texas (Avery?).

Anyway, the past couple of posts have been great. Thanks.

Yeah, I really don’t like Hayward either. It would be very stupid of the Pacers to do that. I have a bunch of reasons as I stated about a month ago in a post.

I’m really looking forward to Ed Davis, Ekpe Udoh, and Xavier Henry. Davis and Udoh are both great, athletic forwards. Henry is a great shooter who can help out the guards since Indy is a bit weak there.

Agreed with Whiteside.

Looking forward to more posts like this. Keep it up

Thanks, Josh. It’s tough to tell, and I need to do some watching, but the guys I’d probably feel most comfortable with would be Greg Monroe, Ekpe Udoh (opening the acers-pay up to all sorts of ig-pay atin-lay jokes), and Davis from North Carolina. I don’t like Whiteside at all, and I’m not sure about Xavier Henry.

I’m not interested in Hayward at 10, for any number of reasons.
