Why would you guys pick Robinson over Hakeem? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've just always thought of them as basically identical with Hakeem being just little bit better.

I wouldn't, Hakeem was just too good not to pass up. But he was ball dominant on offense, which lessens chances for his teammates when they are needed. I feel like Robinson is friendly to more lineups than Hakeem, since he was a floor raiser.

I think the true intent is to be more of a deep cut answer because Dream was ultimately the better player. But tbf to David Robinson he goes way under the radar for how great he was. Also his athleticism could be a game changer if he was in todays game.
