Easiest pick I've ever made, although, well, goodbye FGAs. You won't really be missed though:

Image

Patrick Ewing. I'm not even a fan of this guy but, come on, CP3 and Ewing, two of the five best non-mvps ever + MJ, the GOAT. Who cares if it costs like two-thirds of my FGA, that just can't be passed up.

Not sure what version I'll use but I'm sort of punting again.

Oh god I'm running out of time. Have to make a call, let's stay with the good two-player route and will take advantage of irl chemistry. Will edit with a photo, gotta post before I run out of time!

Image

Horace Grant, 2-way stud and great fit with Ewing plus proven fit with MJ. He won't demand the ball but can be a solid 4th option offensively with his mid-range jumper to space things out and is a great defender who compliments Ewing well there too.

Well I can't complain about no options.

Wilt Chamberlain

Often a top five pick in deep drafts and very FGA friendly.

Might as well take my MVP now. There are a couple guys from the Lakers to choose from, but I think this one is the most obvious fit.

I'll choose the Mailman, Karl Malone.

OK, here we go with Day 2.

Timmay, your random player is Charles Oakley.

Good luck all and please keep staying in those windows. NO EARLY OR LATE PICKS.

Looks like Timmay's time has expired. Hooplah is on the clock. He is matching Charles Oakley.
