This is tough, very tough

Femur didn't seem to think so, he seemed pretty confident in his vote, didn't even feel the need to elaborate...

This is another close one with two great teams. I love Femur’s back court. But I also really like the combo of Barkley and Hakeem down last w. Both teams are very balanced. I got sushi in a coin toss

 

[CitySushi]

I have it as a really close matchup. I think our first halves are very similar. I think Westphal is a bit misplaced as a PG in this lineup, since he was primarily a SG. I also think I have the edge on the Bigs with the first half to pound the ball and slow the pace.

Second half, I think this is just a matchup issue. I just think I have an overall fire power advantage over Femur's second half. Olajuwon there to protect the paint and being able to hedge off of two guys on offense in Robertson and Williams would help me keep West and Bird at least from going completely off. Then I could pound the ball down low to two of the best post bigs ever and have good shooting to surround them.

I got me.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got Sushi in a close one after looking after this one for awhile. Two great teams.

Putting 3 of my HOFers together in the 2nd half paid off!

Grabbing Kemp early was a huge get imo

True... I might not have been able to get away with putting the 3 HOFers together with a lesser PF.

 

[CitySushi]

I feel like Barkley doesn't get enough love in these drafts. Dude is legitimately a top 15 player in NBA history and he never seems to get the respect. Probably due to his size and not being a lock down defender. But he dominated guys in an era dominated by big men. I don't see how that wouldn't translate during these all-time drafts.

True... I might not have been able to get away with putting the 3 HOFers together with a lesser PF.

I was considering it too with Havlicek in the second half for me, but I didn't think it gave me a significant enough edge. Yours worked out perfectly with the fits.

its good I didn't vote... because I disagree with all of you with basketball.... really Not VOTING makes these mocks so much better...


You all should try it...
