I can go along with that. Salley was definitely an impact player defensively during his career. He’d bolster this bench.

I can see why you want to start Nick Anderson. It’s generally hard to defend consistently when you start 2 small guards. I can even see why you want to include McCloud. He had some solid scoring seasons, and he’ll help this team by spreading the floor.
But Najee… Chucky Brown? Did you put him on your team just to see if I was paying attention? Was this a test? You’re always talking about “fraudulent numbers” and looking at the entirety of someone’s career. Chucky only played over 1500 minutes one season in his whole career. The esteemed Walter Berry accomplished that goal twice. I understand needing experienced role players on your bench, but this is a bit excessive. At Chucky’s absolute apex in the league, he was a scrub. I’d take Danny Ferry, Pervis Ellison, Dino Radja, or even Blue Edwards from that draft class long before I considered Chucky Brown. Wait… you’re joking, right? Are you just messing around?
