My vote:

Induction 1: Bobby Jones
Induction 2: Wes Unseld


I'm going to continue siding with Bobby here. I'm also moving Unseld into the second spot though my thoughts on Hagan are not settled. I like in the case of both Bobby & Unseld the way they really became institutions in the places they played.

I really don't mind Carter as a candidate here to be clear, and could certainly see the argument for him over the others.

Nomination 1: Rasheed Wallace
Nomination 2: Jayson Tatum


Very much in flux here, but I can get behind a Sheed candidacy. Yes he's got significant toxic tendencies, but he showed consistent signs of great impact across team, and embraced a lower primacy role to perfection when called to do so.

I'm going to put Tatum's name out here because I really think he deserves conversation. George is already nominated and Lillard & Gobert are starting to get love. I can see arguments for them over Tatum by longevity of course, but if you don't realize how much Tatum has accomplished with his consistent excellence, I think you should chew on what he's done some more.
