True. 2 players in their prime. 2 players over the hill. 3 retired. Everyone I picked played in the 90s or later. I didn't notice that. My team is the opposite of RimRocker who went for pretty much all legends
i like his front court though. similar to my plan of having hakeem and elvin hayes as my front court. too bad it didnt work out...
Agreed. Karl Malone and Abdul-Jabbar are gonna lead to crazy post baskets. And Durant taking advantage of any double teaming. If we do the WhatIfSports thing, we can just fill in the last 4 spots with absolute fodder (Sashi Vujacic types) who won't get any minutes and shouldn't effect the game at all. Is that fair?
i think that would be fair. im not totally sure if you can duplicate players. and if we cant we would all have to pick a bunch of scrubs that has at least played a year in the nba.
Oh, I checked out the simulator. You have to give a year for each of your players. You can also create your depth chart and give each player a certain amount of minutes. That solves the scrubs problem as we can just give them all 0 minutes

fadeaway... Good pick. Solid scorer, savvy baller, original Dream Teamer, probably underrated a bit. If Connie Hawkins wasn't available, I would have taken him.
probably more than a bit underrated... at least if you consider his prime. The dude had a 5 year stretched where he absolutely balled. The problem was outside of that 5 year stretch was an above average player.

My team: C- Moses Malone PF- Wes Unseld SF- Scottie Pippen SG- Alex English PG- Jerry West SG- Earl Monroe PG- Calvin Murphy C- Darryl Dawkins Totally defensive oriented team. Can go small or big with these guys. Very versatile line-up. They present matchup problems for almost anyone. I'm liking my team.

I considered Robert Horry, but ultimately decided that it was too early at this point to be drafting role players when there are still some very good, more complete players available. Still, a very dangerous player to have on the floor in a high-pressure end of game situation.
I was surprised about that, too. There are some very good centers left that haven't been drafted, though. Yao is about 4th on my list of available centers. I would take Yao over several of the centers that some people here have drafted.
