Let me know if changes are needed.


Some positions I might have messed up.

[tkb]

Nate Thurmond was a center and not a SF.

I'll more than likely play David Robinson at center instead of PF btw (but no biggie).

[BadBaronRudigor]

Barry is a SF who swung to PF a lot during his NBA championship year with Wilkes doing the same based on matchups, never heard of him playing guard.

He actually played guard quite a bit during his brief stint with the Rockets, both to get him on the floor with Tomjanovich and to take better advantage of his passing skills. But he really was one of the emblematic small forwards of the '70s. (I have a box of old comic books with cartoon advertisements of him and Dr. J going one-on-one on some playground court--hawking Twinkies or something like that.)

[IceMan23and3]

I have Havlicek at SF, and on my Knicks, McAdoo switched with Hayes as center and PF. Wasnt Pistol Pete Maravich a PG?

[MicCheck12]

I can say that the central division is looking to be the hardest so far

Well, Pete Maravich had pretty good height (6-4 to 6-6, or something around that I think), so he could slot into the SG position, expecially since back then, the roles weren't defined as clearly. It'll be upto to the GM, and who he picks later.

Not necessarily, I think it has the potential to be the hardest, but a lot of those duos look al ittle awkward. Only two of them look like they could work really well as they are, it really depends on who else they draft.As it stands, I'd say people are building the team as whole quite well in the Southeast.By the way, if you're going to have the play Reggie at the 3, you may really want to look into moving Robertson or Monroe.

He was. He could be played at SG, but then we'd be missing out on his madcap ballhandling and passing.

Yea I was thinking of trading him but I just dont know who would want Monroe

[IceMan23and3]

The Raps are a scary team IMO. Hill and Jordan.... that may be even better than Jordan and Pippen imo.

[TiMVP2]

Pippens defense>Grant's defense.

Yea Pippen is a great running mate, but I never thought Grant was a horrible defender, he's not a lockdown defender but he's not going to give up points easily. Also, Mutumbo's defence > Cartwrights & Longley's so hopefully that can make up for it.

I really want to see what benches look like. I mean, in a legends draft there are so many options for the bench that I don't think depth is going to be too big a factor...
