Wiggins is learning and playing in the blowouts over UK...

Without writing a novel on every player..... the 50 greatest players list was voted on in 1996. You've said around 100 times that you have 5 guys on that list....well I have 4, Archibald, Havlicek, Cowens and Olajuwon. Considering ''jump shooter'' Dirk is a top 5 scorer in NBA HISTORY, you can bet your ass he would be there on a current vote, as would Gary Payton(If Fraizer is in, Payton is in, they are clones). With 10 teams in this Mock, and 50 players on that list, every team in this has 5-6 guys either on the list or headed that way.

For sure, all the teams have great players. All my starting could be in the top 25-30 of all-time

Point is, people look at the starters FIRST, putting in Artest over Pete even if the minutes would be 32 - 16 may have cost you some votes. You put your best players in the starting lineup period!
