Bill Laimbeer

Unbelievable!

I wanted Laimbeer next ever since my last pick. He made it through 22 picks and you were the only one left who needed a center. I figured maybe I'd get lucky and you'd take another position, but of course not. Back to the drawing board.

Okay, I am taking the poor man's Laimbeer, Swen Nater.

His defense is ****, but he's a great rebounder and has a high eFG.

Laimbeer is not a plus on D. The right season for Nater and it's basically a tossup. Edge to Laimbeer doing more offensive things and edge to Nater on rebounds.

Wes Unseld

I don’t think he’s the BPA but I can’t resist the Houston super friends lineup.

Charles Barkley

via proxy Amerk selects: James Worthy

My PC needed to update and restart so I couldn't post that pick. I'll say that the Worthy pick was made sheepishily. Rift and I were texting yesterday and he texted that he wanted Worthy but doubted he would fall to him at three. I feel ****** about being the one to take him now. I really think I would have taken him with this pick even if rigt didn't say that, and I'm willing to bet that him team will finish above BOTH of mine, so my guilt has some solace. Sorry ROA!

No, he's not a plus, but he's like 37 and Nater is 23.
