Oh - I absolutely would’ve taken him under normal circumstances. Probably before this point even, but I’m doing something different this year. There’s one other guy that I love still on the board, but I’m worried he’ll go undrafted. If that looks like it might happen, I’m going to need to jump my board and take him.
Lol you put Gilmore at PF. Gotta swap Gasol and Gilmore's slots.
It is really just anyone before recent memory is disrespected. Recency bias is a real thing. The Gilmore pick is a great example. If anyone had seen him play they would have a different opinion. He was a force. He was another in a long list of dominant players that just never had the right team around them. On a team like they are building here he would be the perfect power player to clog the middle and get every damn rebound. Even at an older age he went toe to toe with some we feel are true greats, like Moses Malone and as was stated in the post, a young Hakeem. It makes it tough to make picks from the older eras outside of the requirement.
