2016 Scavenger Hunt Draft - ESAL/Gatz wins

[Flip Murray]

I know who I want for expansion player. Nobody better snipe

[LamarMatic7]

if anyone needs links to the players eligible for any of the categories, let me know.

I think everything should be pretty easy to find except for championship bench which might require some work.

Tall white stiff could require a little work. Don't think bball reference lets you filter out black guys

I've encountered this a few times during my basketball research life. Despite the complete political incorrectness that such an email would contain, I've been very close to sending bk-ref a letter and suggesting a "white/black" filter in the play index.

I mean, honestly.. We all know that this could come in handy.

Does bball-ref have a filter for left hand? I was not able to find one in the play index, just in the player bios. Luckily you can find some solid lists on the net. Would be neat to have a filter to find most points by a left handed player etc...

BTW, the hack category is absolutely brutal. I found exactly one player who I would be OK with getting minutes on my team.

There is one for the season finder, yes. They don't have it for game finders though.

I think there's one other hack who could do stuff on the court, even if I find him to be an empty numbers guy. That's assuming I know which exact hack you're talking about (and unless one of us made some mistake, it should be obvious who's the best player in the category).

I'm taking the hack category as literally as possible. I'm going to draft the biggest hack amongst all the hacks. He's going to ride the pine anyway

From an NBA preview book I had in the early 90s - I'll always remember this quote about him

"7'4" but rebounds like he's 4'7"

Haha, great quote.

Not to spoil all the fun, but I do believe that there's a certain point at which talls aren't good at rebounding anymore. As if when you're over 7'3, you will probably be too gangly, uncoordinated and too close to the ball bouncing off the rim to be a good rebounder. It's not like someone who is 7'0, would be even better if he were 7'3.

This post is exactly why I love drafts like this. So much useless knowledge

Are you going to jump in?

[SWedd523]

Unfortunately not enough time and too much going on man. Either at the range, the gym, or at home painting or putting floors in. I'm booked solid for at least a month

[Diop]

i think i will be taking the same player first that i took the last 2 times

[Flip Murray]

Yeah we just signed one of these guys.

I actually made like four or five Yinka Dare videos back in the day. There's certainly something wrong with me..
