Surprised Laimbeer didn't make it, I really liked his team. I am glad I didn't shoot myself in the foot too much with Dipo pick, getting Livingston despite a small bench budget really helped

Thanks, I was hopeful but I'm the worst judge of my own teams.

Only ten ballots received. Doesn't augur well for a quick playoffs.

I don't recall McAdoo getting much traction in these and your backcourt was pretty mediocre tbh.

Peak Cheeks and peak Pierce? Really? Think they fit like a glove. Can’t deny the fact that McAdoo/Walton are both MVPs the following season. If you win MVP, your greatness in that period really isn’t up for debate

You were hating on Majerle before I even got started. Didn’t really plan on winning you over

Crazy I didn't make the playoffs, people have a bias against Cousins IMO.

I considered Majerle and Cheeks your backcourt. The fit is fine but from a talent standpoint it doesn't measure up for two starters, IMO. I've drafted Dan a lot but he and Cheeks are marginal starters / good bench pieces in this pool. McAdoo was a crazy talent, I just haven't seen him get much love in other games. Probably unfairly so.

I had you 4th, and woulda likely had you higher had you used a different season for Cousins. I appreciate his impact, but I was hesitant with him barely playing over 50% of the games this season.

Peak Cheeks. 15/9/great D. Doesn’t sound like a marginal starter to me

I had mcadoo shaq, got 0 votes. He was around equal to peak KAJ, and may have been the GOAT stretch PF - he's really overlooked in these

McAdoo is ridiculous offensive player but as far as I can tell played D like Gervin or Amare players, more so lacking the effort on that end than the tools.
