Non-Dynastic Vintage Champions - Discussion

[Laimbeer]

Times are hard when Jon Barry getting picked is so painful.

I got scooped on Prig.

[JimmyPlopper]

Assuming it's who I'm thinking of, not at all. However, I've always had other questions about him and almost never draft him.

My opinion of him is he is uber-talented offensively and natural enough defensively where he was a high impact player for a few years. His Peak offense didn't overlap with his peak defense but he was still a Top 10-ish player early in his career and then became an MVP candidate. Always had health concerns, seemingly under-performed consistently which were tied to injuries (mostly) but is still better than Non-MVP Centers.

I like him better than the Knicks ATG Center.

I prefer him to Ewing as an overall talent, but I prefer Ewing's defense and that's generally my primary consideration at that position. Although if he had more of a track record of replicating his regular season offensive dominance under playoff conditions, that would be a different matter entirely.

With that said, he's obviously absurd value at the start of the third round.

I feel like I know which PG Dr. Positivity is about to pick...

[ReggiesKnicks]

My original plan was PG13/Ray Allen on the first turn and then Westbrook.

[Laimbeer]

I feel like Westbrook loses value in a game with so many high level players.

[JimmyPlopper]

I feel okay about my team - not great.

[MadNESS]

Snakebites has my options

You have .3 FGA left, use peak Ben Wallace at 6.0 FGA’s

Sounds good. I need to dig for a cheap guy

[Snakebites]

Like my team but candidly it's been a while since I've built a team I genuinely thought should win a championship.

How many FGAs do you have left?

I really liked your SGA Kawhi Porzingis team from last draft but missing the writeup deadline may have been a factor in voting. It was one of my personal favorites in the draft if not THE favorite

I'd be surprised to learn if that impacted things. There was only one vote at the time when I submitted. I did personally think I should have beaten Ness, but life just got in the way for that writeup.

A lot of people clearly liked Ness's team, as it also beat yours, which I had as the favorite.
