where would lebrons 6-10 best seasons go? top 10? definitely still 1st round
2nd
Pretty sure I'd take Wilt over the Lebron 6-10 seasons. I could see arguments for MJ, Shaq, Kareem as well, though not sure I would agree with them. But yeah, Lebron #2 would definitely go top 5.
Here's the better question - where would you take Lebron 6-10 if the person who took him first wasn't required to declare their five seasons until the draft was over? In other words - you can pick Lebron again after he's already been picked, but you don't get to know for sure which five seasons you get until the draft is over so you have to build blind. I think he still goes top 5, because you basically know what you're getting no matter which seasons you have to use (give or take some question about how many 90 DEF seasons you'd get vs. 70 DEF seasons, and whether you'd have a couple more 2500-2800 min seasons vs 3000-3300).
Is that a way to make the second version of the league even more SAVAGE? Allow ANY players with more than five seasons to be picked a second time, but if you pick them the second time that means you don't know what you have until the first picker declares their intentions. I think the logistics of managing when and how the "declaration" of seasons would happen are probably too difficult to manage, but boy would it add some additional SAVAGERY.
