This is it folks- it's time to crown our champion. I don't have the luxury of copy&paste because Apple has my laptop for the next 3-5 days. That said, the same rules we have been using all along apply here. GM's must include:
- Roster (starting lineup + bench)
- Rotation (minutes played at each position)
- Write-up (however brief or lengthy you see fit)

Please wait until write-ups are posted to place your vote. 1st to 5 votes wins. Good luck to both teams!

I guess we are going with no writeups this time haha, I guess the teams are what they are at this point. I think this is a fairly one sided matchup. Clear advantages at most positions and I also am not a big fan of the Conley/Holiday backcourt. I'm not sure how well they would mesh as both are pretty ball dominant.

I'd agree Dimes has a pretty decent talent edge as well as a better fit.

Vote: Dimes

I agree that DD has the talent edge, but I'm not sold on the fit. "There's only one ball" I believe the saying goes. Unless Melo has the green light as a #1 option, I don't see him being a cohesive member of a productive offense. He would also have a much harder time stopping Butler than vice versa. DN's all-around defense keeps DD's offensive juggernauts at bay, just enough to get by in this series.

Vote - DerrickNoah

DD.

I think he's got more firepower to win 4 games first in the finals.

No arguments here. DD's team was stacked. He actually drafted right before me and throughout the entire game picked players that I had at the top of my list.
1st rd: He took AD so I settled for Butler.
PG: He took Lowry so I settled for Conley.
SG: He took Matthews so I settled for Hood.
C: I was super torn between Brook & Myles.
Beautiful minds think alike. Awesome job my man! Congratulations!!

And with a final tally of 5-1, DroppinDimes reigns supreme in the Modern NBA Draft. :clap: :bowdown:

To quote one of my favorite Game of Throne's characters: "Crown for a King" :king:

Well done to DD and all who participated. Thanks for letting me collect sample data for future variations of this game :)

Congrats, Dimes. This one must feel good. Not only won, but by a big margin, in my view. This wasn't very close.
