Pick your season: draft thread

[pelifan]

1991 Terry Porter



Kinda hard to believe how many times this guy was drafted and then not drafted. I'll gladly take him now, he's a late round 3/ early round 4 talent here at the top of the 6.

[Tony Snell]

I'll take 14/15 Kyle Korver.

This is kind of a crazy pick, it takes up a huge amount of my remianing FGAs and this guy doesn't always get the respect he deserves but I feel I need one more real offensive weapon to really take my team up a level and if I go 9/10 guys with a super-cheap big or two it should work out FGA wise. It's worth it cause this guy as a sixth-man bench weapon is just ridiculous.



Drazen Petrovic. 1993

Back to you.

[Snakebites]

1997 Ron Harper.



Nice perimeter defense. Low FGA. Can play either guard spot. Okay shooter. Just a solid option for a man without a plan on his bench.

Go

2000 Robert Horry.

With my first pick give me rapm legend Nick Collison 2010 - 11

Anyone have any insight into Collison??

I've been looking over the numbers at basketballvalue.com, and I'm just not seeing anything sketchy in the unit numbers or anything. It's a simple as: The Thunder are very, very good when Collison is in the lineup . . . and somewhere between mediocre and awful when he's on the bench.

Raw ratings (since some people are uncomfortable with the "adjusted" part of APM)
-The simple overall rating while he's on the court has been in double digits for the last two years:
+10.34 (2009-2010)
+14.56 (2010 playoffs)
+11.13 (2010-2011)
+10.64 (2011 playoffs)
Each of those values is among the best in the the league, and #1 in the 2010 playoffs. If we were to just add those four values up and compare with other top players: he's first by a LONG way.

-His simple net rating (the difference between the rating when he's on and when he's off) is absurd:
+9.45 (2009-2010)
+29.39 (2010 playoffs)
+11.05 (2010-2011)
+17.09 (2011 playoffs)

Unit analysis
-His units were successful with or without Westbrook, with or without Harden, and with or without Durant.
-His units were successful when the other big was: Perkins, Ibaka, Green, Krstic, Etan, Nazr, White, or Durant.
-ALL 12 OKC units from both the 2010 and 2011 playoffs that have a positive APM have Collison in the lineup (minimum 10 minutes).
-The top 6 APM units from the 2009-2010 season have Collison.
-11 of the top 14 APM units from the 2010-2011 season have Collison.
-2010-2011 12 of the 14 units that he was on that registered an APM score were positive.
-2009-2010 9 of the 12 units that he was on that registered an APM score were positive.

Is there something I'm missing in all this?

And with my second pick give me Russell Westbrook 2014 - 15

[Timmaytime]

2014 Nicolas Batum

[Snakebites]

Screw it. Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind.

Toni Kukoc. 95-96.

Will make the FGA tough, but I simply love this guy and he will play the role of my super sub in this matchup.

Go.

[damecurry]

Need to conserve some FGA here, this guy's pretty good and costs under 2 FGA so I'll take that all day.

Desagana Diop. 2006.
