Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread

Embiid hasn't played enough games or enough to get an allstar nod.

There are other players that have played more games/minutes and have better stats, but I would love it if Embiid made it and it would be well deserved to me. The ASG is ultimately a popularity contest and an exhibition that caters to the fans, and Embiid is a huge fan favorite. Him, along with others like KP, Jokic and Giannis, are bringing a high level of excitement to the league - outside of Cavs vs. Warriors - and hope for the next era of greatness. They're all easy guys to personally root for, too...unlike LeBron or Warriors.

I am getting bored and potentially want to move up depending on how much it would cost me.

0 Reason why Wiggins should have fallen to me this late in the draft. Ill take it. Young core building up. Kyrie borderline MVP finals candidate.

You'll be great on the fast-break.

At the end of the day, this is a message board, not one of yall will catch me in my feelings. 99% of the **** I say will be sarcasm and jokes. A lot of yall take online to heart.

Seems like a Spree call out if I ever saw one.

I'm four picks away, but probably won't be near a computer until 7 after 4:15...so if there's a run to me between 4-7...there's gonna be a gap. Mecca might be able to catch me though, anyone with twitter really. My phone alerts me, so I could try to look things over but no promises.

PM a list to bish.

My squad last time had Griffin Jokic and someone someone on the same team and we lost to a team with klay Thompson and scrubs I don't care about what judges think and rather we sim or just do a peer vote cause them judges are ass

id prefer a sim, rather than a peer vote

For sure!

We need a SIM portion at the end of this.. Said that last BAT too. It's more unbiased and fair to everyone.

--Mags

I'm down for whatever makes my team look the best...so I'm cool with a SIM

Drafting has been pretty good, only reaches were Jabari, Booker and maybe Wiggins so far.

Jabari's not a reach, lmao. Only to people that aren't tuned into the Bucks or not following the small market teams closely. Jabari is outplaying Melo/KP this year, one went 37/the other 21.

21 PPG / .50 from the floor / .417 from 3 without iso'ing with elite skill sets. I'll sip my tea to that. Now I know how ibraheim g

Lets be honest here, I like Jabari's game, but he was a bit of reach at the top of Round 2. He's only NOW broken out.

Also, didn't you say you were scrambling on YT vids of Jabari and another dude BEFORE making your pick? Guess, it was all those Bucks' games you watch!

Finally, like I said I like Jabari, but you if you think anyone (at this point in time) would take Jabari over a healthy KP. He's also NOT outplaying KP either.

I was watching videos to see how the Bucks run their offense to analyze him with Kemba.

And I'm definitely not alone in saying Jabari has been a better player than KP THIS YEAR. I believe illmatic said that Jabari>KP right now about 3 weeks ago. Zach Lowe's most recent podcast also said he put Jabari in over KP/Melo, so I'm not alone on that at all.

Jabari actually broke out the 2nd half of last season and added his 3 ball/improved his D this year. It's actually amazing that he gets 20 a game without any plays being called for him. He can score 25 a game on an offense that utilized him properly.

Definitely not a reach. Jabari>Melo and Melo went at 37 and was deemed a value pick. Hes slept on because A. He plays in Milwaukee and b. He's in Giannas' shadows. I can't believe how many people have an opinion of Pick #32

[El Poochio]

He doesn't play next to them now. Asik and Ajinca racking up DNPs. Also Turner in the same sentence as Asick and Ajinca.

AD should play the 4 dude. He plays center right now. In his best season in the league he spent the majority of his time at pf.

Deluded pelifan, as clueless as his front office who wants Dwight Howard, dont mind me please I am just pissed I never get the chance to build a small ball team around AD

Fast and loose

Unlike the pace of the drafting

NBA gets faster and faster while BATs get slower and slower each passing day funny

I think in the future of NBA, this increase in pace gonna halt at some point, could be now, which is super fast considering what we are used to, or in some point of future where the game is much faster than we could have ever imagined, we dont know that yet, but that super fast game would be played by all 7+ footers who are as quick and skilled as guards

And we are gonna need their every inch full of skill when AI challenges humanity with their Robot All-Stars

On who is gonna represent the Milky Way Galaxy against Aliens in the Galactic Championships

Its because you make it seem like he is the best player at his position in the NBA...when clearly he is not even top 10

If you don't think Jabari is a top 10 small or power forward you don't know basketball. Then again you still don't have a go to scorer and it's the 3rd round lmaoooo a whole team of complimentary pieces haha
