Pretty happy to end up with Ewing there, the top-end talent at that position got hit hard by these restrictions.

An odd switch for him- usually he prioritizes defense.

I love Nash/Ray as a backcourt, but I got killed for it on defense even with a conventional stopper at the 3, which Pierce is not. That offense is perfect though.

TBH I probably should have taken Pierce. I made the pick in a rush this morning and assumed he'd have been taken already given how early Allen and Klay went.

Oh well. I prefer Reggie in a vacuum and both are great fits with Shaq, and it's not like the Celtics aren't a fairly deep category too.

I'm not sure if AD is available since he played less than 50% of the season for the Mavs. Was it for the Mavs category?

The LAL category is only for players that were also once a Celtic. We don't have a pure LAL category in this one

By far the best C after Shaq, but decided to go for a different strategy at my 5
