All-Time Draft: Rankings (DUE MONDAY AT 11 EASTERN) 

Post#1 » by Finger Roll » Sat Aug 15, 2009 5:04 pm

Rankings are due Monday night at 11:00 P.M. Eastern (provided we have a significant amount of them by then). All 14 participants should rank every team EXCEPT their own, in order from 1-13, and all other judges should rank every team, from 1-14. Explanations of rankings are strongly suggested.

Going to go in descending order.

Not excited to go first in case I foster ill will from participants, but here goes.


13. Booz-- No write-up, bad team construction.
12. Calderon-- Conflicting styles, only one good defender in the starting line-up.
11. BlackIce-- No write-ups, rarely made his own picks.
10. Bringbackhoffa-- Not a fan of the lack of defense or the personnel fit.
9. VCT-- No game changing defense, no write-up
8. Gremz-- Not his fault since he didn't do most of the drafting, but the Wilt/Elgin chemistry issue is huge here. There isn't enough ball and too much ego. No write-up.
7. Poopdamoop--I love West, I'm not a fan of Oscar, but it's hard to argue against that back-court. The reason they're so low is big man depth with Walton as their starter playing 28mpg, and Cooper isn't a starter.
6. MJallday-- Lebron and Kobe on the same team is a ton of talent, but they just don't have a proven ability to play off the ball at all. No write-up.
5. Snakebites--Solid team structure, he's got the goat and some amazing rebounding.
4. TMACFORMVP-- Only guy with three MVPs in all three years selected. Great team build.
3. Warspite--Great big three, shake perimeter defense.
2. Fingerroll--sick defense.
1. Bryant-- I have a feeling he's going to get underrated, but this is a very nice team.

1. bryant08 - Kareem is the arguable GOAT, Pippen was a steal where he was selected, and the rest of the team has well defined roles, which IMO, in an ATL where talent is loaded, roles and fits are more important than anything. T-Mac can get out of the first round!

2. Snakebites - I liked that he passed on greater talent for better fit, solid shooting, and terrific rebounding around MJ. I also hope Gilmore doesn't get underrated because this is not including the ABA, but in the NBA, especially his early years, he was just as effective.

3. Warspite - That trio of KG/Moses/Isiah is just insane, and while the wings aren't the greatest defenders, they spread the floor at an elite level, which nearly makes the team unstoppable offensively. Then with Thurmond off the bench, probably gives this team the best three man big rotation in the ATL.

4. Cellar Door - The best defense in the league, I think they're more built for head to head matchups, but ridiculous upfront and perimeter defense. The scoring is underrated as well, Moncrief and Payton were very capable, as well as guys like Zo and Buck scoring efficiently in the paint. Then add one of the greats at creating his own shot and scoring in Barry, the two way game is legit.

5. Finger Roll - Another amazing defense anchored by Russell. Frazier/Dumars is ridiculous in the backcourt both offensively and defensively. King was a bonafide scorer as well, though more range would have been potentially nice. Pettit and a strong bench makes this another team that would fare better in individual matchups IMO.

6. Gremz - Came into a rather tough situation, obviously not feeling the Baylor - Wilt combo, but I liked the Dirk move, and some of the other trades made. I think the talent was always there, and really like the fact you changed Wilt's years to his actual best years. Up there with Warspite in the best PF - C duo in the league. I'd like a minutes rotation from your writeup, but assuming DeBusschere is getting considerable minutes as well, I think everything could work out, and this is another team that could potentially win it all. Talent is most definitely there, the gameplan is much better than it was.

7. poopdamoop - I am in LOVE with West/Oscar, easily the most dominating backcourt in the league, but I do have questions towards Cooper being a starter (as he wasn't one with the Lakers) and the durability of Walton in a three year peak. But the backcourt makes this team a big threat.

8 - 9. MJallday59/vct33 - post your writeups, then I'll rank who makes the playoffs. Could have potentially been ranked higher, but lack of writeup brings me to this point. Sorry.

10. bringbackhoffa - This one hurt, I love Magic, but the perimeter defense with Gervin/Worthy is poor, and while McHale/Parish is proven, I'm not sure it ranks up there with some of the frontcourts in the ATL.

11. BlackIce - Would probably be ranked higher, but after the first two picks, didn't make any other picks, and no writeup obviously.

12. calderon13 - The talent is there, but I'm not buying into a running and flashy style of offense when Tim Duncan was the primary building point of the team. The defense is also suspect with the likes of Barkley and Nash being below average, and Carter/Hill being average at best.

13. Booz - I loved the first two picks, including the Paul pick later, but adding Nique, Melo, Marbury Iverson, Maravich, and Arenas became overkill. The Rodman deal was a good one, but not enough to really make it a cohesive team.

13. calderon13 - totally confused. Barkley is not a good defender (as claimed) and it's unsure how this team is going to run the fast break with Duncan (traditionally a half court player) as it's anchor. It's got enough talent to do at least some damage though. I can't see myself putting this squad ahead of another.

12. Booz - this team just has so many clashing egos (Marbury, Maravich, Arenas, Iverson) and styles it definitely won't work. The defense of the club is also very poor in many areas. He did improve after a few trades, but it's still a pretty weak team. (no write up)

11. bringbackhoffa - Poor perimeter defense, otherwise his club isn't too bad. Doesn't have the quality I think a lot of teams possess.

10. BlackIce - Squad isn't all that bad, I question the way it fits together. Maybe a write up would sell me on it, but he hasn't posted one so I'm judging it on how it looks. The depth of the squad doesn't look to good either.

9. Gremz - Wilt/Elgin is the problem as mentioned, as well as players who I don't think could adjust to limited minutes and/or shot attempts (Dirk and Cousy in particular). (no write up)

8. vct33 - Offensively, I think it's a fantastic team. Perhaps the best passing team in NBA history. But a weak bench and limited defensive talent put me off. Nonetheless, a Shaq/Webber/Dr. J frontcourt is something pretty special. (no write up)

7. Poopdamoop - Great backcourt, weak frontcourt. Really solid defense throughout though, but I can't see myself putting them higher than 7.

6. MJallday59 - LeBron/Kobe has the potential to be special, but the team lacks the depth to support that core. It's hard to see them co-existing, but a team that has two guys that require double teams at the 2/3 is quite an interesting concept, so it could do some damage.

5. Finger Roll - Fantastic defense, I had a hard time putting this team low. I'm not sold on Pettit against players from the modern era and I'm not too fond of Bernard King. Other than that, I could see this team up at #1 or right down here at #5. It's all about how you rate certain players.

4. Warspite - I had a really hard time putting this team so low as well, but once I'm into the top 5, it's all about the small things. Best bigs in the league IMO and a very well constructed team. The perimeter defense isn't elite like many of the clubs ranked higher. Full of scorers off the bench, which may not be a good thing with less touches available, although they do jump-start the offense.

3. CellarDoor - I had to stare at his team closely to find a flaw. At first glance, the best defensive backcourt in the history of the NBA. The only problem with the squad is spacing IMO. I got ripped apart in the ATL for using Barry as a spot up shooter. I believe Cellar's done a good job of using Rick as more of an all around offensive threat, but the squad lacks spacing if that's the case. Nonetheless, the best defensive team in the league, bar none. No seriously, Zo, Moncrief, Payton, Buck Williams and Bobby Jones. Beyond insane.

2. TMACFORMVP - I love the way this team comes together. A beastly frontcourt, teamed with an explosive backcourt (at both ends), with a very versatile bench. It has all key elements of a successful team and the Chuckwagon. A very high efficiency, solid rebounding, championship calibre team. If there's anything we've learned over the past couple of years in the playoffs, teams don't need PGs that are ball dominant. Defensive play and the ability to hit the occasional big shot are extremely important. The modern game with so many great wings allows creation from the 2/3 spots which is fantastic for a team with the contrasting styles of Wade/Bird.

1. Snakebites - Originally in my mind I had this team down at 5. Then I looked at the team closely and I think it's beyond top notch. Quite simply, solid outside shooting, the GOAT, a defensive anchor, great team defense and a bench full of players who seem extremely likely to fit into their roles. It's the stuff championship teams are made of.

Post#5 » by Snakebites » Mon Aug 17, 2009 12:44 am

1. bryant08: In all honestly, not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but I'll try to give my 2 cents just the same. He's got one of the GOAT go-to men in Kareem manning the middle, and surrounds him with a team that's got shooting, great ball movement, one of the better team defenses, and a bench that's got it where it counts. Well done.

2. TMACFORMVP: I wholeheartedly disagree with his absurd username, but he put together a real strong group. In Larry Bird he managed to acquire a 3 time MVP and one of history's best go to men while still retaining his own franchise big man, David Robinson. Together with Dwayne Wade they form a frightful threesome that is supplemented by role players who fit well into the overall scheme, both rounding out the starting lineup and coming off the bench.

3. Warspite: Perimeter defense is a worry, but this team can blow you over on offense in so many different ways that they still warrant high placement here. Great shooters and a lethal inside duo as well, capped off by the best little man ever to play the game. What separates this team so clearly from other teams with possible defensive issues is an awe-inspiring rebounding trio and terrific spacing.

4. Cellardoor: IMO this is most likely the best defense in the entire league. Outside of Rick Barry it doesn't really have the powered offensive players that some of its rivals do, but its got efficient scorers surrounding the granny-shooting small forward and an impressive and fundamentally sound bench.

5. Fingerroll: Loses the battle for the league's best defense to Cellar by a narrow margin, mostly because of the overall balance in Cellar's starting lineup. His go to scorers, King, Pettit, and Frazier, may not be of the same caliber in that department in some ways, but they still stack up reasonably well as a unit.

6. Poopdamoop: I REALLY like Jerry West. He's the number two shooting guard of all time in my book and was a terrific pickup at the end of the 1st. I also like Oscar Robertson, but feel there was another option that would have been somewhat better here that was not taken. The starting lineup is talented and well balanced, but the issue holding this team out of the top 5 is bigman depth behind Bill Walton, a must when assuming the risk of employing the Red Giant.

7. Gremz: I had prepared to rank this one lower because of the issues surrounding a Wilt/Baylor duo and the shot distribution issues, but Dirk and Price being in the fold does change the outlook for this team. Depending on how minutes are distributed and how everything is mapped out with this team, there is a lot of talent here and the potential for a fairly solid team.

8. Vctt: Really strong 1-4 with Shaq, Erving, Miller, and Stockton. I'm not absolutely sold on this team's ability to get defensive stops when it counts, or on its bench.

9. MJallday: An interesting team that I just had a hard time placing any higher. I’m not 100% sold on that wing combination, theres a lot of question as to which one of those becomes the “go to guy”. The supporting cast is well suited to that pairing and fairly well constructed, the issue is with that pairing itself.

10. bringbackhoffa: Like Warspite, this team has great offensive weapons at its disposal. Unfortunately, unlike Warspite, its rebounding isn’t a strong suite on this team either, and that is important for a team looking to run and create offense in transition.

11. Blackice: Ditto to what others are saying. The team itself isn’t bad per se, but it doesn’t jump out at you. Add to that the fact that he hardly made his own picks and hasn’t been around to defend his own team, and I’m afraid my hands are tied.

12. calderon13: Some talented players on this club, but a few issues strike me: 1) I feel the drafter really limited himself by not reaching back further into basketball history to find guys that fit well. 2) Defense, outside of Tim Duncan, is suspect.

13. Booz: No writeup, a very problematic backcourt and wing rotation (problematic in areas of chemistry, ball movement, and defense). No clear franchise player, either. Rodman helps but it just isn’t quite enough.

1. TMACFORMVP - Fantastic scoring, great defense down low, and just solid and talented throughout

2. bryant08 - Stole Pippen and got a terrific complement to Kareem, then put great shooters, defenders, and playmakers alongside them. The most well-rounded team in the league

3. Warspite - Perimeter defense is sketchy, but KG and Moses do make up for it. Great offense and spacing with enough rebounding and defense in the frontcourt to back them up.

4. Snakebites - I'm not totally sure how well the guys around MJ fit, but Lucas was a steal and the cast is talented enough to take you far.

5. CellarDoor - A surprising lack of offense outside Barry, and I'm not sure how good anyone else on the team will be as a main scoring option in this league besides Payton, but that defense is good enough to get you into my top 5

6. Finger Roll - Same comments and criticisms as Cellar, but the defense is slightly worse.

7. Gremz - Like others said, tough situation to walk into, but you did a pretty good job getting a better fit around Wilt and Elgin.

8. vctt - Solid team all around, but no writeup and slightly lacking defense cost you

9. MJallday - Another solid team, but it's hard to predict how that team would work (LeBron's team or Kobe's?) without a writeup

10. Blackice - Looked great after the first two picks, but the rest is meh. Putting your own stamp on the team might have helped

11. bringbackhoffa: More talented than many of the teams above them, but lack of defense and no real strong suit hurt

12. calderon13: I like Duncan, but like others said, you essentially used about 1/5th of the draft pool the rest of us were using, which limited you a lot

13. Booz - Tiny backcourt, no real first option, and just a general mishmash of talent knocks you down to the bottom

13. Booz: "As the Basketball Turns" "The Practices of our Lives" This is reality TV show that I could watch. I couldnt watch them on the court but I couldnt turn the channel if it was a reality TV show. Talking about Practice.... not the game... I could watch the practice but no not the game.

12.Vctt: No writeup means automatic fail.

11MJallday: No writeup automatic fail.

10.Calderon: If he and I sat down and he picked my brain Im sure he could have a better team but he chose to only take modern day players. My team would be no better had I only taken 1960s players and most likely much worse. Its a better team than I would do under his constraints but its an Alltime league not a today league.

9. BlackIce: I like this team but its wings are not great shooters and are slashers. Its major weakness is just overall talent. You want to have as many top 5-10 players at each postion as possible and he goes into too many games loseing 3 of 5 matchups.

8. BringbackHoffa: Its a team built around winners but Magic said this to me and I nevr forget it. "You cant run the break if you dont rebound" This team is maybe the worst rebounding team in this league. When your PG is 2nd best reding starter your in trouble.

7.Poopdamoop: Actualy this team is underrated with 3MVPs in the strting lineup but its playing 4on5. It might be a better playoff team than a regualr season team.

6. Gremz: The Interm GMOY award goes here. This is the most undderrated team in this league. A darkhorse you dont want to face. Useing 66-68 Wilt realy negates the Wilt/Baylor problems. Baylor wants his touches and Wilt wants the the APG title. I cant think of a PF that better compliments Wilt than Dirk and Dirk could avg 30ppg on this team. I atleast have KG to run at Dirk but the rest of the teams with slow bulky PFs are so screwed.

5. Fingerroll: A good solid team with 4 great defenders and good offense. It lacks an inside out game with its 2 main scorers at PF and SF and neither has range out past 18ft.

4. Snakebites: Great balance and has MJ. Lucas and Gilmore are a top rebounding duo and Lucas might be a better shooter than Dirk. Jerry Lucas is the smartest man to ever play in the NBA and this translates to respect that MJ would have for a guy that almost never makes a mental error. Gilmore is the best bigman MJ has ever played with in a ATL. It might be a better regular season team than in the postseason but Im very impressed with Snakebites.

3.Cellardoor: The best def team I have ever seen in a ATL. Its also maybe the most off challenged team I have seen. Barry can get you enough offense in the regualr season but Im not sold in the playoffs.

2. Bryant08: Yeah they have KAJ and Pippen but its weak outside shooting means its hard to come back when down and Reed played PF with Belamy and it was a disastor before. Just because your the quickest C doesnt mean your not the slowest PF. This team is good in regular season but could still go down in the 1st rd. I just think Kidd is a bad fit because this is a halfcourt team with a running PG. Trading Kidd for Stockton would have been huge.

1. TMCforMVP: Getting Bird for peanuts is the #1 reason I hate trades. Bird moves this team from avg to contender. Its another example of how 1 bad GM move can not only hurt his team but several others as well. Since DRob doesnt choke in the regular season i expect this team to win 55-60 games.

The reality is that any team in the top 6 can beat any other team and in the playoffs as usual its not about overall talent as it is about matchups. I most certainly could vote for a lower seeded team over a high seed if it has the right matchups.

I'm going to pose this question here because I think more GMs will be reading this topic than the general discussion:

Are we assuming that a player that misses a certain amount of games will be unavailable for parts of a series? In my case, will Walton playing fewer minutes in my rotation reduce the risk of him being injured and missing games, or are you guys assuming that he'll be missing games no matter how much he plays? I plan to adjust my rotation according to your answers, but I understand if thats something you don't want to disclose right now.

poop, in my situation, I'm gonna assume Walton will stay relatively healthy with the reduced minutes you've given him, but that's only in a playoff type scenario. I'd maybe be inclined to think otherwise, but I'm not sure any sort of standardized rule was set at the beginning of the competition, so I won't consider him missing games in a playoff ranking.

These are just regular season rankings, so I'll admit I took a bit off your team as a whole because of Walton's injury problems, thus maybe a lower ranking, but in a playoff scenario I'd rank you higher. This will be my thought process anyway.

I looked at it favorably in terms of games played since you've got his minutes down, but 20mpg of Eaton was a big detractor for me.

I treated Walton and others as playing as many games as they did on avg in those 3 yrs. Walton missed about 25 games a yr so yeah your team is taking some losses. Its also true taht these teams are all very deep but hes your best rebounder/defender.

again in a playoff matchup Im assuming hes 100% healthy and misses no games. Im not a Cooper fan at all and think if he wasnt a Laker and didnt play with Magic you would never had heard of him and he would be a CBA star. I do think other Gms underrated your team myself included talent wise but there is the question of fit and Walton/McAdoo is a wierd fit since both are high post jump shooting bigs. Its like Putting Dirk and Sheed on the same team.

Weak outside shooting? In the seasons selected:

Code: Select all

Jason Kidd
37% 3PT (0.9 makes)
34% 3PT (0.8 makes)
30% 3PT (0.9 makes)


Code: Select all

Scottie Pippen
32% 3PT (0.9 makes)
35% 3PT (1.4 makes)
37% 3PT (1.9 makes)


Code: Select all

Dale Ellis
36% 3PT (1.0 makes)
41% 3PT (1.4 makes)
48% 3PT (2.0 makes)
*3rd most 3pt FGs made all time, 40.3% career 3PT


Those are the starters, you can argue they aren't high efficiency guys from beyond the arc (minus Dale Ellis), but they all have the ability to can the open 3 and Ellis is a pure shooter. My bench is rammed with guys who can shoot the 3 though, so if I need them, they're right there.

Code: Select all

Mookie Blaylock
36% 3PT (2.5 makes)
37% 3PT (2.9 makes)
37% 3PT (2.8 makes)


Code: Select all

Tracy McGrady
36% 3PT (1.4 makes)
39% 3PT (2.3 makes)
34% 3PT (2.6 makes)


Code: Select all

Glen Rice
41% 3PT (2.3 makes)
42% 3PT (2.2 makes)
47% 3PT (2.6 makes)
*5th most 3pt FGs made all time, 40% career 3PT


And then deeper off the bench:

Code: Select all

Rashard Lewis
39% 3PT (2.5 makes)
41% 3PT (2.8 makes)
40% 3PT (2.8 makes)


I understand it was unneccessary at this point, but I wanted to clear up that misconception. I'm not looking for a ranking change or anything like that, I just wanted to be very clear on the fact that my team does have 3 pt shooting and lots of it, that's the direction I basically took for my team into the later rounds (3pt shooting and defense).

13. Booz- Too many headcases for me. Perhaps if we were using 5 balls this could change. Inefficiency is key here.

12. Calderon13- Limited roster. I found that some of the selections weren't made with Duncan's best interests in mind.

11. BlackIce- It's tough as I know you're away, and had you been here I can see a completely different outlook for this team.

10. bringbackhoffa- Really worried about the overall rebounding and defensive qualities, but I do believe this team has some major potential.

9. vct33- Quality frontline talent, but I'm not totally convinced on the overall depth. Defensive stops might be a slight hinderence here.

8. poopdamooop- Careful deployment of Walton could be key here. If he is utilized efficiently, this is an incredibly underrated team.

7. MJallDay59- I'm actually really intrigued and think this team could do some damage. I'm looking to be surprised.

6. FingerRoll- Quality defense and overall outlook. Perhaps range shooting could have been improved.

5. CellarDoor- Outstanding defense and chemistry. An upgrade at the 4 would have pushed this vote further up the board, but I'm still very impressed.

4. Snakebites- I've often found teams with the overall #1 selection in these leagues really suffer deeper in the draft pool, but this is a very talented team.

3. TMACFORMVP- Bird with DRob is deadly, and a great latter end of the draft secured some major depth options.

2. Bryant08- Quality pieces surround perhaps the GOAT here. Pippen was a steal. I do like the amount of options and the team philosophy.

1. Warspite- Amazing big trio, and fantastic big rotation. Outstanding rebounding and quality outside shooting from Allen and Mullin, I find the overall look of this team to be of the highest standard.

^^I agree with the part about the 4, but for my needs I like Williams there, especially as a freakishly good rebounder and the differing looks he and Mr. Jones give me. Totally understand though.

Sure sure, point out the mistakes. In my defense, this is the first ATL we've done on the games board, I wasn't sure how people would rate him.

Apparently you're the one I underrated :)

Hey, I'm not sure, but am I supposed to rank the teams? I'm not used to doing a straight up ranking rather than just deciding between two teams in a matchup.

In any case, if you need my input, I'm going to need until after Tuesday night because I have a presentation to work on.

btw, I've also got confirmation from ronnymac that he'd judge.
