When was the last time we had a dominate big men, a dwight howard, kevin garnett, a shaq, etc, all these guys can never be that good because they only block shots, they only rebound, they cant score. Bigelow? Bueno? Favors? Blair? Should I make one every year? That isnt realistic Dan. Big men dont dominate often. Its rare.

I think people get frustrated because they cant acquire the type of players theyd want ideally. Well guess what, in the NBA you cant just go get a franchise big guy. Wings and guards are much easier to get, but bigs are tough. Most of the time teams get a couple good defenders, and a couple scorers. They dont have tons of great two way players.

LOL, what does that have to do with anything? No way Blair is as good as he was in BBS. Favors has like a 50-50 chance at beaing a good NBA player let alone a great player. Your argument wasnt about real or fake players, you said when was the last time there was a dominant big man.

That is not what I am saying. I am not saying every guy should have straight As. I am saying they should not have D+ defense coming into the league and are touted as a superstar. Dirk is a horrible defender and a superstar. Amare? Nash? compared to shelley cruise? They are much better.

about the names... i'm ok with ridiculous names, but only in moderation. the abundance of quirky/corny names is stupid. props to play for naming his prospects 'mike smith' and 'daniel johnson', at least it somewhat balanced things out.
i also agree about the amount of gimmicky prospects... too much.

Why isn't it? Many people have had Devereux in their name. Many people have had St. Cloud in their name. Is it impossible for their to be a Devereux St. Cloud? Is Dirk Nowitzki a dumb name? Nene? Kelenna Azubuike? Javaris Crittenton? Yakhouba Diawara? Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Luc Richard Mbah a Moute? Should they all have to change their names to something like Mike Smith before being permitted to play professional basketball? A name is a name. There are millions and millions of different names in our very fine world. give me a call when you meet someone with the last name St. Cloud. I had never heard of anyone with the last name Basone before I joined this league. Is your name ridiculous?

Your argument wasnt about real or fake players, you said when was the last time there was a dominant big man. yeah my point is exactly that, when was the last time we had dominate big men in this league being created, as fake players. Only two of them, the rest have glaring weaknesses. You cant bring in real players into this argument when i am complaining about fake players, that proves nothing. They are real. The point is we never see great big men anymore.

Dan's point makes sense, he just didn't word it right. 2 of those 4 are real people, and they're the ones who became complete players, superstars. Since we went to fake players, we've had stars but no dominant across-the-board guys. Bueno is not. Bigelow is not. Neither are Dwight-type anchoring defenders. Should they be? I don't know, but his point was that we're not seeing the A/A/A-ish stud big in creation drafts and he's right. The Bueno/Bigelow/Blair/Favors examples actually prove that.
