Should I post my guess now?

I don't care. I think he's only available in two categories. All NBA and rookie.

well, that rules out who I thought it was. I assumed it was Julius Erving, slide right in as your starting SF, but he is not available for rookie, so must be Barkley.

My 5th starter will be announced with my pick after this one, as only ESAL can take him (doubt he will anyway). I think you guys can guess pretty much who it is.

For my 10th man, I will take Reggie Theus from the 85 Kansas City Kings. Theus is one of only two players in league history listed at 6 ft 6 or taller to tally more than 750 assists in an NBA season, the other player is NBA legend Magic Johnson (copied right from Wikipedia, lol). In 84-85 Theus averaged 16.4 ppg, 8.0 apg, and 3.3 rpg on 48% FG. It's always nice to have another creator with size.

Starting Five
PG: John Stockton (1992; Dream Team, 2nd team all NBA, 2nd team all Defense, 15.8 ppg, 13.7 apg, 3.0 spg, 50/40/84 %)
SG: Kobe Bryant (2008; NBA MVP, 1st team all NBA, 1st team all Defense, 28.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.8 spg)
SF:
PF: Kevin McHale (1984; All-Star, 6th MOTY 18.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.5 bpg. 55% FG)
C: Tim Duncan (1998; All-Star, 1st team all NBA, 2nd team all Defense, Rookie of the Year, 21.1 ppg, 11.9 rpg, 2.5 bpg, 2.9 apg, 55% FG)

Bench Rotation
PG: Mark Price (1993; All Star, All-NBA 1st Team, 18.2 ppg, 8.0 apg, 48% FG, 41% 3PT 94.8% FT
SG: Dell Curry (1989; 11.9 ppg, 50% FG, 34% 3PT, 87% FT)
SF: Reggie Theus (1985, 16.4 ppg, 8.0 apg, 3.3 rpg, 48%)
PF: Bill Laimbeer (1990; NBA Champion, 12.1 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 1 bpg, 51/36/85%)
C: Artis Gilmore (1978; All-Star, 2nd team all Defense, 22.9 ppg, 13.1 rpg, 2.2 bpg, and 3.2 apg)

Same City, Different Team: Any NBA player who played for 2 different teams in the same city (LAL/LAC, NYK/Nets, maybe some expansion teams)
Same State, Different Team: Any player who played for 2 different teams in the same State (or country if its Canada) (ex. Miami/Orlando, Spurs/Dallas/Rockets, GS/Sac/LAL/LAC, TOR/VAN)
Relocation: Any player to play for a relocated team the year it was relocated.
Renamed: Any NBA player to play for a team in a season before and after it changed its name (ex. Kemba, Bobcats to Hornets)
Jeremy Lin: Any player to play in Asia before playing in the NBA

Jesus Christ theus was my pick.

I'll go Rik Smits 93-94 Hack for my bench

LamarMatic: Any Player Lamar made a youtube video about.

@Coolio - I'm stumped on your starting small forward. I assume you are using the "Stop Shooting" category. It's gotta be Corey Maggette.

He's probably passed out drunk in a Latvian brothel somewhere

should we skip Lamar and keep it moving or wait until tomorrow morning?

I'd say give him until 1 AM EST. Then it can move. That's 12 hours from the last pick. With the lower tier categories left and picks even pretty slim in them, I'd think 12 hours is enough time to pick and still keep it moving.

I'm probs not going to be awake at 1, about to head to bed. I say we give him until the morning.
