I know Moncrief fairly well (I wanted him..), i've had some experience with Jones and McAdoo but I had literally never heard of Fred Brown lol

keeps us on our toes I guess

Writeups? I guess I don't even know how this game is played

We will be comparing teams in certain matchups and you seem as a rather learned person on the history of the NBA. It might be harder for a younger person such as myself to accurately analyze a team with older era players such as yours if we were to face each other as opposed to a person like yourself.

Well I didn't just want a shooter I wanted a scorer. Korver - for all of his shooting - is still a role player that's not hard to stop (in 2015 he averaged 11 ppg, shot 43% from deep, and had a 111 ORTG vs top 10 defenses and he averaged 11 ppg on 35% shooting from deep in the playoffs). Great pick when you just need shooting but he's a less dynamic player for sure.


Do you really need a scorer though? You have Nash and then Walton. You pretty much need to stock up on finishers now. Allen is obviously pretty great at that, but Korver had a better season on less shots.

Well Walton isn't really a scorer like that. If say he's easily the worst scorer I have taken so far. Korver can finish 3s better but Ray is better in every other way. That marginal 3 point increase would come at the cost of me losing the ability to score at a high level without Nash on the floor.

Yes, but how we know who wins, etc.?

We write some stuff about how our team is going to play, what match ups we're looking to exploit, how our strengths and weaknesses overlap, and then people vote on who they think would win (playoff format)

2002-03 version for now. I might change it to 2005-06, though.

What's better than one Manu? Two Manus!

Obviously a player can't be picked twice, but one can get the closest alternative..

I take James Harden (2012)

2012 6MOY, an elite playmaker, who averaged over 1.00ppp in all playtypes, 1.03 ppp in ISOs good for 7th in league, efficient as hell (66.0% TS, 125 ORTG) is a great shooter, monster foul-drawer, for only 10.1 FGAs, sold! Meshed well with KD + WB in OKC as well

I get a lot of line-up versatility with either Manu or Harden coming from the bench, or lineups with both starting, all 3 of my backcourt guys are exceptional foul drawers, great playmakers and good/great shooters..

...you're killing me, man. First ginobili, now OKC harden?! Really thought he was gonna drop after the trend of the last several picks, and he's a great fit just about anywhere. Not to mention now I can't complete the "remember when people actually liked dwight and harden?" duo :-?

Mutombo/Malone/Bowen might be the dirtiest frontcourt ever. I think it'll be an underrated thing about my team. There's definitely an intimidation factor about my team, especially if you add Michael freakin' Jordan to that mix (MJ just intimidates people in a slightly different way than those guys...). I didn't plan on that, but I really like that.

Christ dude. Between Malone and Bowen the rest of us are gonna have to invest in private team hospitals. I feel bad for the guy who drafted Curry if you put Bowen on him, the dude has really big feet.

We're playing in 2016 right? Bruce Bowen rule makes Bruce Bowen ( 8-) ) just a bit less effective than he was then.

Don't forget about Mutombo, possessor of quite possibly the sharpest elbows in NBA history, and one of the guys who had least conscience about throwing them around. :wink:

My team is gonna beat everybody...One way or another.

Hey, you got Lebron and Dwight for the low, low price of 27.8 FGA, now that's a good deal..

The Long Beach Longshoremen, with their 4th pick, select:

Joe Dumars

In many ways the quintessential 2 guard. Used to playing 2nd fiddle in the back court but still being a frightening scoring threat and solid playmaker, and as we'd see later, he was made to be an off-ball 3-point shooter who would only do that job better today.

But of course, Dumars is known more than anything else being the top man defender of the best playoff defense since Russell's Celtics, and THE guy who guarded Jordan toughest.
