Both too pricey for this league. 47 / 5 is 9.4. If you spend more than 9.4M on a position, that means you have to spend less than 9.4M on a position, and that's not good.

if DH didn't yoink Mike Smith right ahead of me I would probably have taken XXX XXXXXX on that turn

I mean if you use XXX's salient stats as parameters you're only going to a handful of guys

and the other guy isn't that pricey

i thought about using one of his lower min seasons as a backup to shaq just because of the rare opportunity to use it

surprise! you can

Interestingly enough, XXX XXXXXX actually fits two different hall-of-fame big men who went undrafted (though one not getting drafted is more surprising than the other).

the one who went to St Bonaventure sometimes doesnt get drafted - the tarheel used to go at the top of the second round

Meh on Bob McAdoo. I would never draft him. Same with Hakeem. In my mind, the only major snub was Bradley Beal. A few other really good people but they were generally drafted super late when they were picked anyway.

Bob Lanier has only been drafted once in the last 11 seasons... at pick 109.

Marques Johnson went undrafted I think - that's the one I was lamenting when I was scrapping together my SF in the 6th round - I could have made it work but only if I went with second best wilt (which if you're drafting wilt kind of defeats the purpose).

I almost drafted Luka but sanity took over. His rebounds are so high - going to be a gem next year.

He's just so expensive.

interesting - he's a plus in most important categories - is it because he's a 50-50 guy?

1) He's too pricey
2) He doesn't rebound well enough
3) Not enough usage or eFG%
4) we only got 9.4M for 48 minutes, and B. Mac costs exactly that

Easier to just get Boozer. Timeless classic.

I was toying McGrady. His 35 usage% scared me off
he has a lot packed into one season. Anyone ever used
his 02-03?

4 pts usage 55% efg
def 70+
low TOs/TO%
low PF
I would call his rebounding position neutral or slightly plus - he's about as good if not better than what you're going with at you 4/5
can play 44+ minutes w/o significant fatigue
not sure what you're talking about minutes per $ wise but they could be worse spent

Boozer: defense is a factor I think - I think Bob's stats more closely align to Timmy's minus about 16 D rating points

One can win with McAdoo...hard to convince me otherwise based on those stats copernicus lists.

I think he's a solid second guy but totally understand that some think 9m+ is too much for a second guy

of course I just effectively paid 12m+ for a third guy but shrug...?
