PC Board All-Time Fantasy League Project - Discussion Thread

Goddamn I was going to take Hornacek! I didn't think people would remember him.

Ah well, four 40% three-point shooters is still decent And I do have some more in store so I could still eventually get my goal of a five-man unit where everyone is shooting 40% from three.

Not to nitpick, but it's so odd reading "all-time" fantasy team when it's 80+. lol

Just throwing this out there ... who's team do you want to face (match-ups, if you feel you have the better team, etc)? Who's team do you want to avoid?

Teams I want to avoid: notanoob with Hakeem and wing players, ardee's team has great offense, O_6 has size advantages, Bruh Man has great defense, ThunderDan9 has balance, and RSCD3 looks pretty good too.

Anyways, I went with Brand so he can split time with Nance. He started having a jumper in the mid-2000s and was an above average rebounder with some scoring ability. Brand can match with the bigger line-ups given his wing-span and reach (9'2") at 6'8" while Nance can match with small ball line-ups.

[Notanoob]

Well, it's hard to do matchups since I don't even have my starting PG yet, and our bench units will be meaningful, but some that have me edgy:

O_6 has a very stacked team. Even with Rodman, I don't think I can really cover Durant, and his shooting would really make things ugly. Penny is a matchup advantage no matter who I pick, and Sheed+Ewing would probably be an effective pair against Hakeem down low. DJ and JJ are excellent perimeter players too. It's a really solid team all the way around with little to exploit.

Even if I draft a ton of defensive stoppers, I don't think I could stop ardee's team from scoring. They have an absurd offense. Nash with all of those shooters... I could probably abuse them on the other end, but could I keep up with them? I don't know if the judges would say so.

You're team also looks extremely hard to stop. I hold Kareem in very high esteem, so even if you didn't have McGrady and Allen in particular spacing the floor, I'd fell uncomfortable, but add in excellent, low-profile guys like Nance and Porter, and that team has an incredible offense.

Bruh Man has the opposite thing going-absurdly good defense. Hibbert/KG/Pippen/Kidd? Wow, just wow.

Still, depending on how the rest of the draft shakes out, I'm still pretty confident in my team.

Any team the lacks great ball handlers would get exploited mercilessly by Moncrief and Payton

I'm not worried about the defensive teams. Nash will have us making it rain on anyone.

The team that frightens me matchup wise is john248. Kareem abused Parish when he was 38 and I know I have no way of handling all that beastly athleticism and shooting on the perimeter. Porter tends to have his way with PGs who make their biggest contribution offensively. I could probably outscore him but it's one shootout I'm not confident of.

O_6 is a worry but less so. It's a fantastic team no doubt but I'm happy with the big man matchup, can easily turn Rasheed and Ewing into jump shooters. Dumars on Penny is fine, still worried about Durant though. On the other end I'll habe Dirk ruin their interior set up and really, who's going to be able to make the correct rotation ebe time when I have Nash picking and choosing from 3 other 40% three point shooters?

The way to beat my team is by out scoring me and John's team is the one I think can do that.

I actually like the way I match up against your team. DJ on Nash and Dumars on Penny is a wash as far as I'm concerned, both PGs will get theirs but would have to work a lot harder on offense. And I like my interior vs. yours, Sheed is one of the few guys in this whole project who can give Dirk issues. Dirk can get his on anyone, but Sheed's length/quickness/strength make him more of a challenge than most. And Patrick Ewing's greatest moment in the NBA occurred when he ate Robert Parish alive in the '90 playoffs. And as of right now, Durant is a matchup nightmare against you.

You have a great team though, absolutely amazing team offensively with clutch defensive winners rounding the team out in Parish and Dumars. I'm just bringing you my perspective on a potential matchup. Would definitely be fun.

The draft has been cool but I can already tell that the fun part will be the matchups and all the **** talking involved.

You're on the clock

[john248]

Oh the **** talking.

I wonder how the playoffs will be sorted out assuming that's what it's going to be. I'm assuming the seeding will be the draft order given the advantages of drafting at certain positions.

[batmana]

Oh the **** talking.

I actually think it was mentioned in the rules that team 1 will play team 16 and so on in the first round. It will basically be a tournament bracket a lot like the NCAA March Madness tournament.

Spoiler:

I think everybody is doing a great job drafting, I like most of the teams and could see myself arguing for them if I had to... Let's see how everyone fills out their benches!

Ah, thanks for that info.

[Quotatious]

Ah, thanks for that info.

Looks like we're going to go head-to-head.

I think me vs MisterHibachi would be interesting. Our teams are pretty similar in the way they're built.

I feel like I'd have a really good chance against whitehops. I'm only taking teams with 6 players on the roster into consideration though.Otherwise, I could see my guys beating Narigo's team. Prime Jordan vs prime Kobe trading blows all game long? Sounds like fun. It really could've gone either way.

[Quotatious]

I like the Buck WIlliams pick he's a much better starter than Odom IMO.

Buck is obviously a much more traditional power forward than Odom, but Lamar has certain advantages, like passing, ballhandling and outside shooting. Buck was a better rebounder, defender and a tougher inside presence (he was really fearless and tough as nails).
Neither Zo or Buck are good passers and that's what I'm really concerned about, so I may consider starting Odom alongside Zo to remedy this problem.

"Unfortunately there is. Especially if it's self creative scoring. - See more at: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=1294562&start=150#sthash.8krsYfMj.dpuf"

I still think King might be a nice addition. He mostly operated as a "one-man-army", but there is no evidence he wouldn't work playing alongside other great players. He will mainly come off the bench to relieve Bird - and his - yes: "self creative", but VERY EFFICENT scoring could come in handy. In fact, he will have easier time because defenses will be split by multiple offensive threats.
And for some minutes, I will be playing him paired with Bird.

I still feel he was one of the best scorers left on the board, and his style differs from that of my other players, so he brings another color to boost my offense. He is not worse in that regard than the likes of Wilkins, Gervin etc.

Are you guys drafting coaches as well? I remember we did that on a different forum

No, we didn't even talk about that. I see john248 took Pop though.

Oh ok lol. In the one I did on another forum the final round was dedicated to coaches, and we flipped the drafting order so the 16th pick in the player draft, had the first pick in the coaches round to try and make it fair.

Well, maybe we'll think about drafting coaches, as 11th round? I don't know what Hibachi would think about it though. We're GM/head coach combined right now.

Yes, I also think the fun part is that we are the coaches, we are deciding what style the team plays, who plays at what position, how many minutes, who guards who, etc. On a side note, it would have been funny if we could draft coaches ALONG with the players how early someone would take a coach (3rd round, 4th round maybe???).

[whitehops]

i thought WE were the coaches?

Oh lol, I just started following this project, so I wasn't sure
