What's the criteria on oversized/undersized?

I'm going with Paul Millsap as my non-allstar. His efficiency rating is too good to pass up.

PG: Darren Collison
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Kevin Garnett / Paul Millsap

either smaller or taller than the normal height for the position, if I understood correctly. Like Bogues for a PG or Magic for PG, or Barkley as a PF and so on.

How much smaller/taller? is 6'10" undersized for a center?

As I mentioned earlier, pick here was going to be Battier but Stun scooped him up already. :(

Hmm, I'm going to go with Marcus Camby (35+ years old).

So where is coolio plugging Millsap? NBA.com lists him at 6'8, so he's not an undersized PF, he'd have to be 6'7 for that to be the case..

Okay, for my first selection and filler of the "European" category (someone fix the first page, Scola is Argentine not Euro): Andrei Kirilenko. One of the best defenders in the league, flexible to the 3/4, and brings some shot blocking. Then to bring a little offensive flexibility, Luol Deng (no tattoos).

My next pick is the knucklehead of all knuckleheads: Allen Iverson.

Walt, I plugged him at non-allstar.

With my beast of the least I'm taking Devin Harris, clearly the best player of both teams and I'm not sure why he still on the board. Gotta love my team so far:

PG : Devin Harris / Darren Collison
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Kevin Garnett / Paul Milsap

You would be correct; he's my next pick for the All-Star category unless someone else takes him first. If they do, I have three alternatives that are all eligible for the NBA retirement club.

I wasn't sure if I should use this player as my never been to the playoffs player or the college senior, so I'll use David Lee as the best player to have never been to the playoffs in 4 plus years in the league. And because of his experience he automatically becomes my starter at the PF spot.

Knucklehead (Been arrested) Earl (J.R) Smith III
European (No NCAA ball)
Non-European International (No NCAA ball)
Former College Senior

Journeyman (Played in games for 4+ teams) [
No known/visible tattoos b]Blake Griffin[/b]
Beast of the Least (New Jersey or Minnesota player)
Never Been to Playoffs (Minimum 4 years pro) David Lee
Over/Undersized (position determined by committee, I don't imagine there will actually be much trouble) Rodney Stuckey

Then I'll take Rodney Stuckey who at 6'5 is taller than the average point guard.

Question from a problemtic player:
Can I pick BDiddy under journeyman,Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets,then GSW and LAC.

Edit:No even me myself can't give in on this,so ignore it,I thought Baron Davis is 6-5 though.
