I was thinking the same thing...although I can see it from Numberica's perspective as well...you could take 90's Alonzo Mourning and 2000's Tim Duncan, or take 90's Tim Duncan (still a 22-12-3 all-star PF playing next to Robinson) and take a wing (Kobe or LeBron) #1 overall next. 90's Duncan was still a champion who came through in the Finals, so I can see it both ways, but picking 7th or 8th requires a fair amount of strategy.

But isn't the point (which is why I changed my pick) total stats in fantasy? Not just building a great team?

'Zo makes SOME sense, but Duncan is just better IMO. Duncan gets into the HOF as soon as he's eligible, I'm not sure that 'Zo ever does, even though he was awesome. Besides that, I can't pass up Lebron in the 2000's, so it's down to 'Zo and Duncan (an actual thought I'd had). So why not choose the player that just impacts the game more, wins more, and can play two positions equally well? If the worst-case scenario for me at C is Duncan, then I'm good. And if I can get him at the end of a round, that's great value as Bilas would say.

As far as the Barkley pick, great pick. It wouldn't make sense for me already having Malone.

Hmm I don't know. I was approaching it by trying to build the best team because if it was just stats, we wouldn't have to vote, we could just add up the pts, rebs, ast, ect. Probably a little bit of both.

Going with what prodigy said, it is the stats. Right?

No the Voting will most likely be based on a couple factors - (team chemistry/overall make-up/build-up/talent level-championships)

It is about building the best team you possibly can, not just going by stats

Well isn't a decade too large of time span then? I mean the difference between 02-03 Shaq and 07-08, for example is pretty drastic. So you take his entire career or just an average of that decade? If that is the case Duncan is the better pick than Barkley.
 
No matter the criteria, it always ends up being more of a 'wow' factor/popularity contest.
