I've always used 99-00 , but I'm actually considering trying 93-94 this time... Of course, if I get desperate for cash/minutes, all bets are off and I go 00-01 :)
98-99 is pretty underrated.

Wow. robusk trades out of the top 10 and a top 10 player drops all the way to him at 17.

I didn't pick up too much value in the trade but it turned out to be free value. I am pretty staggered he was still there.

You like the better defense, better passing, higher mid% version or the late 80s lower mid% version?

I like 97. The defense swings it for me pretty easily.

Yeah. I was leaning there for the 94 at SF and the two percentage points lower on TO%.

who do we take the Mailman before? Artis went early, so did McHale. Larry?

The only people who should be taken ahead of Karl Malone:

Definitely:
LeBron
Wilt
Curry
Shaq
Jordan
Howard

Maybe:
Kareem

You could kind of make a case, but I wouldn't:
Chris Paul
Moses
Durant
Barkley
D Robinson

My list is pretty much exactly the same.

LeBron
Wilt
Curry

Jordan
Shaq
Howard

Kareem
Karl
CP3

Durant
Barkley
DRob
Bird
Moses

Rodman (hardest guy to rank by far but I would probably slot him here)

Getting a top 9 guy at 17 is awesome.

Rodman is so tricky for this format and I don't think I'd ever draft him unless he fell to something like 15-20 range. You need such specific players to put around him and you aren't likely to get enough of them in a draft. Obviously a killer in open leagues though...

I was hoping closer to 24 would yield me a better player, but really only one pick was ahead of me was a mistake. Never tried Magic so will be fun to see if i can make it work.

I tried my best to overthink my picks, but two 100 D guys with position flexibility and other elite skills was too much to pass up. Now I need to figure out how to pay for it.

no one is surprised at Kevin McHale as a first rounder. I don't think I am, either.

going before Karl Malone is surprising, though.

I think most everyone is surprised at McHale in the 1st. Without looking, I would guess it is the first time.

I would think so, too. I would also think someone would have said as much, which is why I said what I said.
