Team Draft Board
Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 7:08 am
I'm not sure how useful everyone will find this tool but I put it together over the last few weeks for fellow draft nerds and didn't want this to get lost somewhere on page 546 or something of the current draft thread on the Suns board.
At this site (http://www.arizonatribe.com/suns) you can create a draft board (presumably for the Suns) of the players you like and if you were GM what your draft-day board would be for which players to target when picks 46 and 60 (whoo-hoo) roll around. Also, if you want to go really deep with it you can make a full mock draft.
Mainly though, this page is a utility to getting all the information you need about the 80+ prospects that could realistically hear their name called on draft day. Links to draftexpress and nbadraft.net scouting profiles, a link to the ESPN stat page, an embedded youtube clip and general stats about each player with several sort filters to figure out quickly who's tallest, smallest, longest, etc.
Your team draft board prints its code into a textbox in the corner as standard html code, but there is a checkbox below to change that to BBCode so you can post it in this message board. Also, there's a checkbox to include youtube links so that if you post your draft board here, the links to the youtube clips will be preserved.
To keep in line with what the mods probably want you might want to throw your draft-related discussions or a draft board you create into the draft thread they've stickied.
Optionally, for your draft board you can checkmark player qualities checkboxes to abbreviate qualities that you see in the players on your list as that may help others see why you chose that player(s). Here's a legend for those abbreviations:
I tested this in firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and the Droid, but if you find any bugs please send me a message and I'll try to fix them. One minor note is that a little less than 20% of the players have their youtube clips restricted from playback on an embedded page, so for those you just have to click the link to take you to view the clip on youtube.
