If you pick a Chicago player, does the season you use have to be a Chicago season?

Yes, it's how the category is phrased

Definitely considered a comeback guy, there are a couple of slightly off peak greats available for that category.

Ultimately opted for FGA and category flexibility.

The concern I have with this category is that many of the players who fit it also play for one of those teams.


I didn't consider that. Since it's such a small pool, maybe it'd be worth implementing a rule that they can only be used for the 7th category

Completely missed Magic in my research. Guess that others did too otherwise he wouldn't have fallen

I almost took him in round one over Walton but Walton was a guy I wanted to build with and he fits multiple categories, which I figured would be fun to play around with.

I was shocked to see I’d been quoted and he hadn’t been picked yet. Even more surprised to see that after waiting my full clock for LR and Stan to show up that he still hadn’t been.
