Modern NBA Draft Championship: DroppinDimes vs DerrickNoah

[GeorgeMarcus]

This is it folks- it's time to crown our champion. I don't have the luxury of copy&paste because Apple has my laptop for the next 3-5 days. That said, the same rules we have been using all along apply here. GM's must include:
- Roster (starting lineup + bench)
- Rotation (minutes played at each position)
- Write-up (however brief or lengthy you see fit)

Please wait until write-ups are posted to place your vote. 1st to 5 votes wins. Good luck to both teams!

[DroppinDimes]

PG: Kyle Lowry (38) / Cory Joseph (10)
SG: Wesley Matthews (36) / Wilson Chandler (12)
SF: Carmelo Anthony (36) / Wilson Chandler (12)
PF: Anthony Davis (30) / Tristan Thompson (18)
Cc: Brook Lopez (30) / Tristan Thompson (10) / Anthony Davis (8)

Congrats on getting here DN.

I'm not going to say much. Just vote for who you believe has the better team which is my team of course

Good luck DN

I guess we are going with no writeups this time haha, I guess the teams are what they are at this point. I think this is a fairly one sided matchup. Clear advantages at most positions and I also am not a big fan of the Conley/Holiday backcourt. I'm not sure how well they would mesh as both are pretty ball dominant.

I'd agree Dimes has a pretty decent talent edge as well as a better fit.

Vote: Dimes

I agree that DD has the talent edge, but I'm not sold on the fit. "There's only one ball" I believe the saying goes. Unless Melo has the green light as a #1 option, I don't see him being a cohesive member of a productive offense. He would also have a much harder time stopping Butler than vice versa. DN's all-around defense keeps DD's offensive juggernauts at bay, just enough to get by in this series.

Vote - DerrickNoah

DD.

I think he's got more firepower to win 4 games first in the finals.

FTW......

vote: DD

No arguments here. DD's team was stacked. He actually drafted right before me and throughout the entire game picked players that I had at the top of my list.
1st rd: He took AD so I settled for Butler.
PG: He took Lowry so I settled for Conley.
SG: He took Matthews so I settled for Hood.
C: I was super torn between Brook & Myles.
Beautiful minds think alike. Awesome job my man! Congratulations!!

[GeorgeMarcus]

And with a final tally of 5-1, DroppinDimes reigns supreme in the Modern NBA Draft.

To quote one of my favorite Game of Throne's characters: "Crown for a King"

Well done to DD and all who participated. Thanks for letting me collect sample data for future variations of this game

Congrats, Dimes. This one must feel good. Not only won, but by a big margin, in my view. This wasn't very close.
