[QUOTE=dankok8;14936909]I was gonna draft Sheed but he's actually not that great of a 3pt shooter. 35-36% from 3pt range on what were mostly open threes for him doesn't really move the needle for a great offense.[/QUOTE]All those times teams would double Ben Wallace on the block and leave Sheed right? Foh

Opposing PF/C didn't defend Sheed at the 3pt line. He was mostly open.

Yes they did, Big Ben was one of the biggest offensively liabilities ever; very few teams played 4 on 5 like those Pistons did. You're not going to leave Sheed in that situation.

If you look at Sheeds splits and highlights he was mostly a post game turn around midrange jumpshot shooter. Teams weren't crowding him from 3. That wasnt even his game back then.

Ball don't lie. And neither does the tape.
If you want a clutch stretch 4 who can play defense and bang timely 3s know who yall are discounting?
Robert Horry.

I wasn't looking for a 3 and D stretch 4, I wanted someone who can create on the block, run the floor, is a good defender with length ~7foot, good feet defensively, money from mid range and is respectable from 3. Would I prefer he was an elite 40%'er from there? of course I would, but Horry doesn't check enough boxes. Maybe as like a last pick to round out my team.

Acting like that's the standard is wild.

You've already got that in Tim Duncan and Wemby in the post and around the paint. Why would you need to crowd that out more?
Horry is the perfect role player in all of NBA history especially as it pertains to the modern game. He was athletic, tall and big, had great shooting skills, and most importantly when your stars are getting doubled in crunch time he has the cajones to never be scared and drill clutch shots.
Malone. Him and Ewing are both guys who can fit with Giannis offensively due to their midrange shooting bringing centers out of the paint. Plus just another big athletic freak and great defender. Would split his minutes with Ewing pretty evenly.

I’m guessing this is Karl and not Moses?

Lol, yes.
Let's be real though; imagine almost certainly has the best team and will get the most votes.
Can't believe we let this dude surround curry with PG, KG, and D-Rob.. :lol

Manny dropped the ball on every pick after Jokic lol.
But anyways, I do think my team has an argument for best. Giannis brings an element that no team really has in terms of a guy who can attack the paint from anywhere on the floor and finish with all-time great efficiency while being a great passer. He has seasons more efficient than Shaq in terms of post scoring so him being surrounded by all-time great shooters is pretty nasty. 3pt shooting, midrange, transition, and post scoring my team doesn't have a weakness.
Although I do forsee imagine winning this thing
