Ugh. Hate that some players don't start playing when they were drafted. AK was drafted in 1999 and I didn't bother checking to see if he actually played then.

Fade has my options

I'll frankly admit I should have taken Ewing or Moses. Point guard is deep in this pool and there was still a perfectly viable plan B to Billups on the board.

Ah well. To thine own self be true. Good luck guarding VC and MJ.

I thought I had a chance at Ewing (and to be fair he fell pretty far). I got too greedy- I should have taken Ewing or Moses in round 2.

I decided to pivot to just having an extremely potent perimeter group.

That's the combo I was hoping for when I landed at 10th. I figured D-Rob might go earlier though.

DB is up fade

Welp, definitely should have waited to take Payton lol. Absolute brutal run of 3&D there on the turn, tons of guys I was heavily considering with my pick. Posey, Christie, Horry...

I can go small which is what my original plan was, or go big and play more bully ball with Dumars on the bench. I think in honor of 90s style basketball.

PG: Magic / Dumars
SG: Mullin / Dumars
SF: Barkley / ??
PF: R. Wallace / ??
C: Ben Wallace / ??

Dumars is a hell of a 6th man for me.

I almost took a lower version of Mullin just so no one could have him.

I’d go: Magic, Dumars, Mullin, Barkley, Sheed. IMO.

Yeah a Magic-Mullin backcourt isn't staying in front of anyone.
