Up

This will be tough to make work, but no reason that a triangle offense with jordan, gasol and one of the all time greats who can give me 20/8.5/7.5/1.8/1 and is one of the greatest shooters od all time.

Arvydas Sabonis

Talent-wise, Sabas is hands down the best big man in the draft in my book.

- 7'3'' with a massive wingspan
- strong as an ox
- BBIQ out of this world
- terrific rim protector
- great rebounder
- endless repertoire of post moves, he could score pretty much at will in the paint
- reliable 3pt shooter even though nobody expected from Centers to shoot 3s in the 80s/90s. The guy was 30 years ahead of his time.

Long story short, he could do it all! Obviously, he was way past his prime when he arrived in the US, but he was still good enough to hold his own against prime Shaq. If it weren't for the injuries, I fully believe Sabas would have been in the same convo with Kareem, Wilt, Russ, Shaq and Dream.

Dennis Rodman

Need a great defender who doesn't require a lot of shots and can defend 1-4.
Monster Defender in Jordan, DPOY monster in Gasol, a very sound, intelligent team defender in Bird...I need to add to that...

I wanted Rodman, but I will instead take the equally volatile and equally monster defender in...

Metta World Peace.

Fourth pick, I'm taking Serge Ibaka

In 2012-2013, he led the NBA in blocked shots while shooting 59% from the midrange, 48% on long twos and 36% from three. Shot 74% at the rim and he was incredibly mobile early in his career. Perfect support Karl-Anthony Towns while bringing his own dynamic offensive game.
