Rising Star Challenge Game
I figured this could be fun. So there is no Rookie/Sophomore game anymore, but instead there is going to be a draft of each rookie and sophomore that has made the cut by the two GMs Shaq and Barkley. As such, it could be cool if a few of us hold our own draft, with each of us going against one other person. Then, when each team is drafted, we have a vote which team is the best in that particular matchup (Vince vs. Me, Jeff vs. Evo, etc), as well as see how close all of our teams are to the actual teams drafted.
Who's in?
1) Jersey Generals vs. Vince
2) Jeff vs. Northern
3) Evo vs. Speedy
4) Kidd vs. 624
5) Dark vs. Shark
6) Shameer vs. Jose

Those are the available players.
Brooks
Cousins
Fields
George
Griffin
Hayward
Irving
Knight
Leonard
Monroe
Morris
Rubio
Splitter
Thompson
Turner
Wall
Walker
Williams

Re: Rising Star Challenge Game
Sounds pretty cool, but if we have more than two teams how are we going to divide up the players?
Does each team get a max number of players?

No, no. Since you're now playing Speedy, you both get the same 18 player pool, with each of you having 9 players per. So that would be one game, while Jeff versus whoever would get that same 18 pool, 9 players per. And then at the end, whoever wins the individual games, we can just have a small poll of which team would win the entire game, even if two winning teams have nearly identical lineups. Make sense?

I think you meant that since I am playing Speedy, that he and I would share the same player pool, correct?

Re: Rising Star Challenge Game
Yeah, there are a few snubs, I feel.
624, do you want to play? If not, I'm going to keep this open until Friday, and then I'll just pair up Jeff and Kidd if no one else wants to play.

Re: Rising Star Challenge Game
Sweet, so we have four games so far. If anyone else wants to partake, you have until Friday to get in.
Me vs. Vince
Evo vs. Speedy
Jeff vs. Northern
Kidd vs. 624
I'm still deciding on how the drafts will work. Right now I'm leaning towards a straight up snake, but I'm amendable to other ideas if you have any.

Re: Rising Star Challenge Game
There isn't such a great disparity in talent level like a regular draft. There are no LBJ's, Durant's, or Dwight's.
Therefore we don't need to snake.
