Roy Tarpley - only player available in this draft to average 10 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block per game for his entire career to not be in the HoF. A career destroyed by drugs and alcohol, I truly wonder what would have been said of him had he not allowed himself to be suspended for more years than he played.

Which is why I am so glad you didn't draft beer!!!! So, I assume he'll be sober for this!

Always hated seeing talent destroyed by drugs and or alcohol.Marinovich was a pretty big example for me.Remeber the Robo QB days? All the talent in the world.But Aside from just the drugs.I think he may have been pushed too hard since childhood.And just eventually snapped

I agree. Look at Josh Gordon as another example.

I like my line up. I have the luxury to have at least 2 players who achieved at least 20 ppg in a season at least once on the court at all times (5 in all, with 2 more who had 18 ppg or higher). I have 4 DPOY players totally 11 awards (including both 4 time winners in NBA history) and 40 all defense teams with 7 players (which doesn't include underrated defenders like Hersey Hawkins and Roy Tarpley). My sharp shooting/end of game rotation has 4 guys who averaged 40% from 3 at least once in their career (and that doesn't include Bowen; who did it multiple times, and Free; who did it once), and 90% in FT% at least once. I can beat you inside and outside, offensively and defensively, and I don't think there is any question as to whether my line up could function as a line up. Overall, this may be my best NBA draft to date.

Do we have to set a lineup for this? I thought everyone plays the same minutes, so there is no point putting one together.
