I would take Tony Parker. I think none of these guys will be your preferred player at their position for long, but I think he has the greatest longevity, aside from Ben Wallace. And he actually has greater chance of being your starting PG than Wallace has being your starting C.

I mainly chose Wallace over TP because I know that, at some point, I'm going to have a Curry or an Oscar, at least, whom I prefer over TP.

Interesting. What would you do with Mikan given you have Sabonis? Backup Center?

I have Diamond Shaq, Sampson who are more of my style inside, so I didn't really need Mikan. But if I was just finishing dom / blacktop, didn't have a deep bench, and needed the best player available, i'd do Mikan in a heartbeat. He is incredible all around center and is one of the few that isn't hurt by his height. Whenever I go up against him in MTO i am impressed. He can score via a variety of moves or hit jumpers, and his defense is really nice. I just like my guys more because I want to get the standing dunk. Mikan can get some of those, but not at the same frequency.

Goodrich is really nice. Look at his intangible badges - he has all the ones you want. Sure, he's small, but he can be a legitimate PG if needed or just be a lurking SG. His defense is reasonable. His dribble moves/stepback are really good.

That makes sense. He definitely makes immediate impact. And I also have a roughly favorable impression from times I've faced him.

My issue with him is long-term...I cannot imagine playing a Center who is 6'10" and who has 48 Acceleration and 40 Lat Quickness...and 61 Shot Contest.

I've never played him, so I have no idea on animations and dribbles. I get what you're saying w/r/t him playing PG and very nice personality badging.

84/84 Spd/Acc could be fixed with a shoe. I like that he has 64 Strength. And that he has great Contested/Off-Dribble from 3. From the numbers, I'd prefer TP still, but I haven't played either.

All of these guys are, no matter what, Diamonds. So they're all very good in a general sense. All, I think, much more useful than last year's Amethyst Pippen.

Parker a beast, his dribble animations not the best but all you have to do is momentum crossover and then his speed boast dribble and he's fine, slap gold limitless range and he's basically curry, his shot release one of the easiest in the game.
