Manny on the clock
I actually see Barkley as a great piece if you already have enough shooting & defense. Maybe a bench piece, Instant offense.
Yes I'm picking Barkley as I think him and Jokic compliment each other very well offensively and instead of running a traditional point guard im going to run Manu Ginobli as my point guard
PG - Manu
SG - Allen
SF - Pippen
PF - Barkley
C - Jokic

Manny has a double pick no?
But yea Barkley is a great player. I see the issue of fit and him being a defensive liability but it depends on the roster as well.

He picked Manu as well.
I will take VINCE CARTER.
My starting 5 is:
Nash
Vince
Tmac
Dirk
Shaq

Manny saying **** interior defense and spacing for Jokic. :lol interesting strategy

I have enough spacing on my team and I'm aware my interior defense is lacking but I still have 3 picks remaining to solve that
Barkley clearly proved on the Olympic team that it doesn't matter how many stars you put around him he will do his thing. It probably amplifies his game if anything because he's not ball dominant in the half court and he's an ATG fast break player in his peak.

It proves he could feast on horrible competition in games with zero pressure for sure.
Most teams in here have multiple all-time great defenders in the paint. Plus the defensive side is where the concerns are, because again you have all-time greats on the interior to deal with. Plenty of great scorers to go around.
Barkley is the best offensive power forward ever IMO. His defensive shortcomings are completely overblown in this setting - it's not a requirement to have an All NBA defender at PF to beat another great team.
.
Dwight is still available right? Pat Ewing? Pairing them mitigates a lot of defensive concerns. I'm not even a fan of the guy he's a bitch but Embiid + Barkley combo is as deadly as you're going to get on offense and Embiid in his peak was a monster on defense.

Post defense matters quite a bit in this context.. it is literally the best players of all time at every position so any interior defensive weakness is magnified. Barkley also doesn't provide spacing on offense, so I can understand not wanting to pair him with a traditional big like most teams on here have.
Having the greatest scorer at every position isn't really the goal. Its about optimizing fit.
Also Giannis averaged 35/13/5 on 66% in the finals en route to a dominant fmvp run. I would say he peaked higher than chuck offensively.

Your perimeter defense is awful and you have probably the least talented team so far
