Wondering whether a certain all-time great Center will be left on the board. Not the biggest fan of his game, but he's widely considered a top 10 Center of all time, to say the least.

In any given game there's only going to be a certain number of drafters who set aside a large portion of their available FGA for a center, and in a pool that is relatively deep those few spots are going to go to different centers.

The guy you refer to is quite costly, and not elite offensively relative to other all time great centers. Given the heavy FGA usage on perimeter talent, most people would rather get a guy like Dwight (who I know is yet another of your absolute favorites) for much cheaper.

In this game I see 4 drafters spending 15+ FGA on a center, and all of those guys are more skilled than he is- Shaq, Hakeem, Jokic, Embiid.

I dont think I have ever been successful building around Nash or Giannis


So cant see how this works out for me in this one...lol

.

Vince is nice in the last round.

For me I almost went Vince when I draft McGrady.

I was kind of torn between 2001 Vince, 2003 McGrady, and 2025 Anthony Edwards.

Settled on TMac as I thought I needed more offense.

Agreed, although his 89 season isn't overly expensive at 16 FGA. Ranked 4th in MVP voting that season and 6th in DPOY voting. Had I picked Bridges, I would have likely used this guy as my starting Center.

Not sure which team is stronger. The first one clicks better, the second one has superior top-end talent.

I believe db is fairly high on this guy and drafts him frequently. Wonder whether he would have still drafted Dream in round 1 had he known the other guy would have been available in the 8th round.

You can already say Ewing lol. Only one guy finished 4th in MVP votes in 1989 lol.

As for me, interesting question, but I usually don't try to plan this ahead. Maybe I should've gotten Luka KD and then draft Ewing, but as a central team piece, I would've probably grabbed him third round instead of waiting for a late fall.

I won a game with Ewing once. He works great as a mid-round steal if you can save enough FGA.

It has to be the right situation though.

Please finish your teams and roster pages by end of day tomorrow

I thought I had a really solid team but looking at these rosters, damn.

I don't know if they're the best, but Giannis/Nash/TMac and Jokic/Penny/Reggie are fun.
