We're using their best season, so Yao is more than just fine.

Yao or Rudy were who I was targeting with my next pick.

Ya. I worded that wrong. There wasn’t anyone I could think of. I thought Yao was drafted in 99 for some reason. So I was considering drafting another position then drafting a center later. But then I googled best centers drafted between 00-09 and Yao was listed as third best. I was so relieved lol

Everyone check lineups in op in case I have players out of position. If they are pm me how you want it to look like.

Also double check picks in op in case I screwed that up. I had to do a lot of looking up stuff.

Anyone wish they went a different direction earlier with how the board ended up falling?
Not necessarily but you have a huge advantage if you take Magic or Bird imo...taking a useful pre 79 player sets you up for success later.

I have the whitest team in the history of this competition. Lol you have to wear sunglasses just to play my team.
Yao
McHale
Bird
Doncic
Payton
Other than Doncic all my guys are good to great defenders. Even Bird was on 3 all defensive teams, McHale and Yao were good rim protectors and Payton… nuff said there. All my guys are willing passers and elite playmakers and smart savvy players. This would be a fun team to watch with some shades. Lol. It’s not the greatest shooting team but also not a bad shooting team. Both Yao and McHale could shoot outside just didn’t have 3pt range. Bird, Doncic and Payto all capable of getting hot from 3. Yao would be soooo much better and lethal inside with Bird and Doncic feeding him.

More than just them.

They were probably the most satisfying to watch though. The two together saved the nba before MJ came to be who he was.
That is kind of my thinking as well. If I could do it over again I probably would have gone with Magic since the 80's was such a loaded decade.
