KAT has to be Dallas's sixth man, right? I can not see trying to convince people he will play PF.

By the way, grabbing great 6th men before rounding out your starters with your fifth pick, if your last starter is more role player than superstar and can be gotten later, isn't a bad strategy.
That's what I'd do with him. His offensive arsenal is wildly good, and you can surround him with a defensive stud wing and centre who have limited offensive games with little punishment

Middleton's shooting numbers this season are fantastic.

I was hoping to get him next to Durant. I loved the idea of the two of them together.

not really a fan of either pick given team makeups and available talent.

Thibs played Towns at PF at times to try and get the defense to work better. Didn't really work. The IRL league has changed too much. It could work out better in this fantasy league because so many teams have two legit bigs.

G: Ray Allen
F: Doncic
F: LeBron
C: Towns
C: Mutombo

That is one interesting lineup. Lots of size & unusual combinations to have to matchup against.

Let’s see if you guys can guess who my draftee is!   ;D

This player’s team won the most Finals games against Shaq’s Lakers that any team was able to in that 3 year stretch (2). 
He scored 20+ points in 5/6 of those Finals games in that 1999-2000 season.  30+ in two of them.
Over the 22 game playoff stretch that season, he averaged 24ppg at 59.6 TS%.
2020 CelticsStrong All-2000s Draft -- Utah Jazz
 
Finals Starters:  Jason Kidd - Reggie Miller - PJ Tucker - Al Horford - Shaq
Bench:  Rajon Rondo - Trae Young - Marcus Smart - Jaylen Brown -  Peja Stojakovic - Jamal Mashburn - Carlos Boozer - Tristan Thompson - Mehmet Okur

If you guessed that Utah Jazz selected...



Reggie Miller with the 5(3) pick then you'd be correct!
