Think of this as a fantasy NBA draft.. Take age and talent(not contracts) into consideration.. Who are your top 10 picks.. Mine will go as such..
1. LeBron James(This is a gimme in this sort of thing)
It gets pretty dicey after this, do you want a veteran talent or a young star to build around? This is how mine would go.)
2. Kevin Durant( I went with Durant over Kobe because of age, but you are more likely to win early on with Mr. Bryant)
3. Kobe Bryant
4. Dwight Howard( A big man of his talents are hard to replace )
5. Dwayne Wade( Great player, injury concerns)
6. Chris Bosh
7. Pau Gasol(this was a tough one for me.. I think that he is a better player than Bosh right now, but Bosh is younger and able to lead a team by himself better, in my opinion.)
8. Chris Paul( Recent injury concerns have scaled me back a bit on him, but a PG of his caliber could actually be moved up at any spot, almost.)
9. Carmelo Anthony( Great scorer, there is some character and leadership questions, so he was moved slightly lower. )
10. Derrick Rose( Once again, a good solid PG, and a very good scorer.)
Guys I considered otherwise.. Tyreke Evans, Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups, Dirk, Duncan... SOme of these guys are too old or too young to start a team with.
Leave your comments on how you would change your draft or if I missed someone who should make the team.. Take care all
