Must have played 50% of their games that season for that team

I wanted Battier but had Battier/Kidd in the same tier.

Was hoping for Green or Kidd. Oh well.

Possibly but I don't think it's a huge problem for you with the players you've picked so far.

2020 Marc Gasol is an interesting pick.

Not 100% sure if I should... The second guy on his list would make sense as a separate pick, but he didn't say he wanted both.

I’d say just go with his list.

Had slight hopes iggy would fall. That’s a good pick for Roddy.

Drexler always falls. And whichever team gets him always looks really stacked.

Yeah, that team is very solid. Having off peak versions of Nash and Drexler takes a little bite out of it, but honestly not much. Those versions fit well with Barkley/Pippen where you don’t necessarily NEED their peaks. Drexler works great as a third option and Nash gets help from Pippen as a distributor. Barkley is a perfectly good number one option on that crew.

Side bar: slightly weird that New Jersey Nets aren’t available here. The place in New Jersey where they played is the Meadowlands, which is definitely part of the NYC metro area and is only a few miles away from Midtown Manhattan.

Was torn between Deke or going bench. There are some other low cost defenders out there but I feel like he gets more respect. Still all-D and all-NBA in 2002 and stats were close to his 2001 DPOY season. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Kobe/Simmons/TMac is a really interesting perimeter. Nightmare matchup for small point guards.
