I may be looking at this wrong... are we looking to build a team, where the parts fit and you view them together or just get as many good players as possible. Will drive my thinking from here on out. There are hall of famers on the board but I'm looking more at fit/role players if I was putting together a real team. Like instead of Kyrie Irving I'm looking for Khris Middleton's.

Fit matters. You’re constructing a team for ****’s sake.

That was my thought... first time I've done one of these.

But only his rookie year was in the 90's.... (and it was the lockout year, so not even a full season)

What? Kobe was drafted in 1996. He played 96/97, 97/98, and 87/99 that counts in this.

This was a decent pick. Vince Carter on the other hand was not so good. But not nearly as bad as Paul Pierce that early.

@Wes Could have/should have easily won this except for that pick, but maybe can still fix it or has enough to overcome it.

Kobe pick that early wasn’t good. In a draft like this, still wasn’t good. His name had star power but it wasn’t his coming out party just yet. He shouldn’t be starting in this.

He’s not starting. He’ll be my 6th man and I’ll start Carter and Worthy. I gambled when I picked them, but ended up having it mostly work out how I hoped it would.

A.) I wanted him, and assumed he’d get over drafted by someone like Spida, Zion and Doncic in other drafts based on that “name“ power.

B.) I believed that at least one (possibly two) legends would fall to my next set of picks (Worthy did) and I could slide Kobe to my 6th man role.

C.) I had a number of PGs that I liked still on the board, but thought that Moncrief would fall to me (he didn’t.) In hindsight, I should’ve just picked him.

D.) I usually have a hard time getting wings that I like in these things. Figured I’d reach on a couple to give myself some flexibility. I basically got 3/5 guys that I wanted at that point - Kobe, Carter, Worthy, Gervin and Moncrief.

E.) I got lucky. Honestly thought I could get Gervin and Moncrief (I’ve drafted both guys multiple times in the All Time draft.) If Worthy wouldn’t have fallen that far, my whole plan would’ve been screwed.

I didn't say it was a good pick but decent. He was pretty decent in his 3rd year including the playoffs.

Strange, when I saw your post it was the Kobe pick. I even thought it was strange but double checked. But now it's quoting the right post. My bad, lol.
