Oh, my bad. :oops: It's just hard to keep this rule in mind all the time. :lol:

Again, sorry for that.

Well, 3D guy was still able to get away with similar stuff in the 2000s, and such things being done on the perimeter are more visible than inside. I'm sure he'd still bother his opponents quite a few times with cheap shots without being called for a foul.


The guy u mentioned had been established prior to. If u really feel guys who relied heavily on hand checking would translate, that's on whoever drafts them. If they r athletic, a case can b made. It's not so much different than avoiding ISO hogs.

Yeah, he was established as a good/very good defender prior to handehecking being banned, but ironically, he became a fixture for the all-defensive first team after that rule change was made.

BTW. HeartBreakKid just drafted Bowen. :lol: Seems that we can talk about him now. Beginning of the eighth round is earlier than I predicted Bowen would go (thought he would get drafted in the 9th or 10th round).

Handcheck disappeared completely in 05 where Bowen was already a defensive fixture prior to.

I was considering drafting bowen (with one of my last picks) but I feel his negative imact on offense just negated what he did on defense. I was thinking about a lesser (still good) defender but more useful offensive player

Hibachi - prime Deron looks like a pretty big steal right now, although assuming he'd your sixth man, I don't think that's a role that he would enjoy. If I were you, I'd consider starting Williams and moving Wade to your two guard, while having Iggy off the bench. Defense would be worse (Williams was never really a very good defender, although he was above average in Utah, particularly man-to-man), but they'd fit better this way, and a three man game on the perimeter between Melo, Wade and D-Will would be deadly.

BTW. Does your username have any connotations with a certain player who hasn't been drafted yet? :lol:

Oh yeah Deron is definitely starting. I'm surprised he lasted this long. I would've taken him earlier but point guard wasn't really one of my priorities.

And yes, one of the best nicknames ever. That guy.

Since this draft is 80's onward, what rules are you guys assuming for the matchups?

Handchecking
Zone rules
3 seconds
Ext

Just curious

Cause I assume that would have an impact on the team strategys

I feel Payton was good enough defensively that he could still lock down players without the hand check and just fundamental D. But again, it's up to the judges.

Not sure how I feel about my Battier pick. He was a bit of a need pick. But I feel he brings a lot to the table as a role player. Limited offensively, but he could knock down the 3 and was a smart player. Defensively he was an absolute stud. Good locker room guy too, a career in politics post-NBA feels like a safe bet lol.

This tourney may be won in these final rounds. With such stacked starting lineups, a bench that is strong and fits well with the team's starters could be the deciding factor.

Pretty happy with my team but I have a couple of areas I need to address before going to war. Interested to see who is left for me by the time my final 2 picks come up.

I was really close to selecting Laimbeer but I went with Noah. With Sheed already being a great outside shooter, I feel like Noah's passing was a more valuable piece to my team than Laimbeer's shooting. And defensively I think Laimbeer would be great for the 15-20 mins of backup action he'd get on my team, but Noah gives me a little more versatility since he can guard some PFs and is a better rim protector. That was a tough decision.

Laimbeer was on my list of questionable guys. If he played the same way as he did in the 80s, I doubt he lasts long in a game. If he plays differently, he's not as effective and really turns into a decent rebounder with some range. I had Alvin Robertson the same way to some degree as he really used the hand check, but in his defense, he did stay in front of his man pretty well due to his athleticism. His offense wasn't impressive for me to put him on any list I had as I think I'd rather have Battier.

Then again, I had a few guys I wanted to avoid like Isiah, a few small forwards, Webber, Nique, a still undrafted DPOY, etc.

So shocked TP was still up for grabs. How often do you get a chance to bring a slasher who can shoot 66% at the rim on 6.2 attempts there a game, off your bench?

I know exactly which two players I want to round out my team, if they're both available I'm PRETTY confident about how I match up against just about anybody.

Deron and Parker going definitely hurts since I had Deron at 12 and Parker at 14. Rather sharp drop after these 2.
