Modern NBA Draft Championship: DroppinDimes vs DerrickNoah 

Post#1 » by GeorgeMarcus » Sat Mar 18, 2017 11:55 pm

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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

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