Rounds 11 and 12 are up in the OP

The 90s Hakeem, Duncan, Admiral, Ewing, Morning.

Not sure there was a shift to great bigs in the 00s.

I think with them and Shaq, so many teams felt they needed some any big center to compete, and in reality they got stuck with a ton of Jim McIlvaines, Osterrags and Bryant Reeves types.

Yeah, I may have painted with too broad of a brush there. I'm not saying Shaq's presence was the "advent" of importance of having good bigs. But I feel like he was the driver of the "when in doubt, go big" draft mantra in the 2000's where teams just knew that if you didn't have a big athletic body to compete with him come playoff time, you didn't stand a chance.

Outside of the Spurs with Duncan, and the Pistons series, nobody really stood a chance anyways. It was so fun watching him in the Finals vs. the East teams. Felt like an automatic 35-15. Poor Sixers / Nets / Pacers just didn't stand a chance.

That mantra was in place after Wilt and Kareem. Bigs were always the #1 pick. It was the most important position long before Shaq. Now Shaq did cause GM’s to sign bigs that wouldn’t have gotten contracts because teams needed guys to eat fouls.

@The Fresh Prince

Oh c’mon man!! He was going to be my next pick

Sorry, dude. He's all-time underrated. #48 in all time win shares. Very flexible would be valuable in a complementary role for this type of imaginary game

I screwed up my draft so bad by thinking about the 20’s pick too much.
I ended up taking Franz Wagner with: Mourning, Mutombo, and quite a few others available. I’m sure I’ll lose because of that pick, though I’m trying to make up for it. Every guy on my list is getting taken though. I’m frustrated with myself.
