Ugh I'm leaving a guy on the board that I think fits perfectly that won't be around next round but there's so many good players left on the board

Gimme Karl Malone.

Since this is only for one season I feel comfortable taking this guy as my second option. He gives me tremendous peak value with a reasonable 14.8 FGA, and he knows how to dovetail with a dominant post player.

Trying to build a team with fluid offense, dynamic ball movement, and overall balance and efficiency. Need passers and efficient shooters to do that. In that spirit, I select:

Manu Ginobili.

Pretty damn near perfect shooting guard: can handle the ball, defend the ball, create his own shot, and is an elite shooter at the position at fewer than 12 shots per game.

Yes please.

1994-95. 2nd team All-Defense. He can guard any forward. He shot .360 from three. He can can postup, he can put it on the floor, he can pass. He's a pretty handy guy

Like Hawk Eye I'm going on the route of building a team with some of your favorite players.

BARKLEY

one of the most underrated players of all time,

top 20 peak of all time

I will dominate with my trio, and suffer later with FGA's.

A lot of great players remaining but I have to go with my all-time favorite player. He can do everything and playing next to Kawhi and Davis gives my team great length 2-4 and another lock down defender. I select Grant Hill (96-97).

Risky pick I guess, but I'll go with Jason Kidd 08-09
low fga only 7.6, great defense, 40% threepoint shooter, 6.2 rebounds per game, 8.7 assists per game, 2 steals per game and a good leader that can play both pg and sg.

Wow I was sweating on that one, this is a guy I really almost took last round.

Give me Dwight Howard.

Ridiculous defensive impact and elite finishing ability for only 10.2 FGA.
