Which team do you think will be the strongest over the next 7 years?

Option 3: MyChumps

Option 4: Tbag
votes: 2
You are a GM, charged with the task of bringing as many champions as possible to your city in 5 years. Your strategy is up to you, just draft 5 starters and 5 guys to come off the bench to build a team that you think would have the biggest chance of bringing home as many titles as possible in the next 5 years.
When you draft a player, you are getting him right now, not in his prime. Meaning that injuries take affect for a guy like Rose but as this is a dynasty, not a single season, he is sure to contribute later down the track.
The draft will be a snake draft and the amount of teams participating depends on interest. I will randomize the draft order once the details have been decided.
The winner of this draft will be decided by us involved. Once the draft is completed, we will have a vote on who we think would win the title in each of the 5 seasons. In the event of a tie for first place, a vote will be conducted just between these two teams. You cannot vote for your own club.
Any questions or suggestions, please let me know. If you're interested just post down below :)

Do we think 7 years is too long? I'd he happy with 5, 6 or 7... Just depend on what you guys want! Also, Im unsure how we should do the voting at the end of the draft? Open to suggestions!
Alright I guess I can clobber you youngens again!
What about an NBL draft? :o

Maybe we would need to spread the NBL over 30 years or so
I watch the NBA twice a week now :P Still unsure how it's only on twice a week ::)
6 teams already :D I know Holzman and a couple of others will be keen so we'll give them another few days to join. Hoping for about 10 teams :)

Just a suggestion, take it or leave it, but for a bit of variety do we wanna scrap the dynasty and just go one season so blokes like TD, Garnett, Peirce etc have some value? Makes it easier to judge IMO, unlike trying to judge the improvement of players like Bennett.

Not a bad idea but I'd prefer to just cut down the years of the dynasty to 5 so a guy like TD would still hold decent value, like he should.

Alright, your choice man!
I hope I get something like my team last time:
Howard
Griffen
Deng
Wade
Kyrie
6th: Kemba Walker
A bit of trouble with spacing, but we'd manage ;)
I just think single season wont give a guy like Anthony Davis enough value wheread a 5 year dynasty seems pretty well.balanced?
5, 6 or 7... What do you prefer, Cump?
I think 5 is perfect, but even 3 would work alright.
Yeah, I'd go 5. Rookies should be good by then but oldies will still be kicking :P
1 day to go... I will be randomising the draft order this morning and the first pick can be taken at 7pm ACST but I will PM you when it is your turn. Hopefully this gives everyone enough time to do a bit of research before their pick
Out of interest, are we allowed to trade pick positions before the start of the draft?

I reckon we should keep it as allocated in fairness to everyone. But if you have a good reason then I guess it can happen :-\
I have had some requests to start the draft now and I have no reason to delay it any further...
THE DRAFT IS NOW OPEN
Caluuum can kick us off whenever he is ready. We have plenty of time to do this draft so don't feel rushed but don't drag it out too long ;)
Let's get it started with
pick 1: Durant of course
No surprises there, although it could have easily been the next guy to get picked.
Lebron!
YAY
Who would've thought, Durant and Lebron first 2 picks :P
So how many years are we doing?
Cool, then I've got 5 championships :P
This is a really difficult pick. First 2 set in stone but the 3 could be one of many!
I'll go with perhaps a bit of an outsider and take an MVP candidate in Paul George. Should be in his prime for the next 5 years of the dynasty.

How long did this take last time, just as an estimate
It's a bad time of year to start this sort of thing. With Christmas around the corner you are going to get days with only 1 pick
The last one went about a month but it started in Jan. It also had a 24 hour rule
It'll be fine guys, don't worry. Things will speed up once we get rolling. Could pump it out in a couple of weeks :)

not too much an outsider, its why I wanted pick 3 of you. I have 1 guy left I want out of my top 4, lets hope he doesnt go before my pick.
George goes at 3 this year, I had him at a steal last time in this. 8)
Ok all those superstars to pick right? Only one man for me ;D
Steve Curry
Over a certain other PG... you're mad TBag :P

True! But this boy has got all the goods ;D build a team around him and win trophies, like the Warriors ;)
Steph is a guy you can build a team around. Risky, but a good pick :)
this is an easy pick, there are soo many good young guards coming through that for me there is a clear top 4.
Durrant Lebron George and my guy.
I believe this guy would be an amazing player to build around. A great rebounder who provides offesnive and defensive rebounds.
Can score in high volumes from anywhere, basically a young dirk. Is one of the leagues bigger outside offensive threats and definately the biggest threat by a mile out of the big men.
Kevin Love
There is probably a better pick still left but good players at the SG position are hard to come by, so I'm going to lock up the best one right now. In his first season at the Rockets, he put up 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game :) those are some crazy numbers and for a guy that's just 24, he will be in his prime for the duration of this dynasty.
It is the bearded one, James Harden
Wow, I wish I had pick 7 :o
Would still take Curry :P
Er, Chris Paul.
Quote from: Windigo on December 05, 2013, 10:21:08 AM
Er, Chris Paul.
Steal.
I forgot about him, jay told me not to pick him (love is still good) than went to pick harden. Should have gone top 5 nice.
Yeah, very happy with that. Now I get another pick very shortly and the chance to land two premiums straight up. 8)
Love is the number one big man by a long way in terms of just what he does, and sooo easily.
I really wanted to pick CP3 but doesn't fit the strategy. I can't see much depth at the SG position, but now I have the best there is ;D
Really hoping my next guy slips...

Yeah Paul is a better player than love but in terms of value I just think love does what most don't. Has the rebounding power of a big man and the outside threat of a shooting guard.
Plenty of young guards it's the era of the guard. I'm sure I can find someone to compliment love. Given he can score on the outside it reduces my need for a sg like harden
I think there are 1-2 PF's that arent that far behind Love at all...
Quote from: Jayman on December 05, 2013, 11:35:51 AM

In terms of ability yes, but that outside shooting is very helpful. It means I can get a posting up centre if I want.
I'm going to start by building a great young front court
Firstly Anthony "The Brow" Davis
And then DeMarcus Cousins
Very good picks, FS.

I was hoping to pick up Cousins. Issue is his mentality, its a tough thing to change. Davis is great, but pretty injury prone.
like the picks but both boom bust.
Had a good think about this.
In the 5 year stretch, I still expect Carmelo Anthony to be lighting it up. Getting spoon fed by Paul.
DAMN IT! >:(
I was nearly not gunna get him. Thought everyone knew something I didn't. :P

Anxiously awaiting the next two picks
its a tough pick for me, i hope jay takes 1 of the 2 im thinking off.
Narrowed it down to 3, having a real tough time choosing. Gonna come down to who would work the best with James Harden.
Shouldnt be too much longer...
It aint gonna be Ray Allen :P

was decididng between 3 players, this whole time.
instead im going for a suprise pick and i have a plan around this.
IM going to pick a top 5 player (imo) who is horribly underated because people think he should play another role.
Russ Westbrook.

because you esenatially mirror my friends opinion on everything basketball related and the fact he thinks girffin is the most overatted player in the legue is just very weird.

I just cant see the argument of Griffin being overrated... This season he is averaging 21 points, 11 rebounds on 54% shooting and at only 24 years of age, he will be a gun the whole duration of this dynasty.
Harden and Griffin vs. Westbrook and Love... Holz and I seem quite tight early ???
Apart from Love>>>>>>>Blake
Harden and Westbrook would be tight

Convince him not me, you know I like griffin. Apparently he has no post plays and still can't shoot. Also says he is soft mentally and will fail in playoffs with atitude and game play. I kind of agree with the later point.
Harden griffin ceetaintly an interesting combo, will see how the rest of the team pans out.
I actually rate Westbrook above harden.

Who needs post plays when you can do this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbyOevVAYQI. But seriously, his shooting has improved dramatically this season :) Love isnt as far ahead of Blake as everyone thinks...
Harden and Griffin is certainly a great building block for me considering they are both only 24 :D
Westbrook may be a better player than Harden due to the defensive end of the court but he certainly doesnt hold more value in this draft where there are a plethora of quality point guards but not too many gun SGs.

Screw it, I'm done thinking :P
Picking the second best centre in the league right now (not counting the greatest PF of all time that is now playing as a C) and is still only 25. Boasting a massive PER of 26 this season, averaging 19 points, come on down Mr Brook Lopez
(http://www.whitecovermag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Brook-Lopez-Brooklyn-Nets-Confused-Face.jpg)
Has perhaps ruined any strategy I had for this draft but ah welll :P

Excellent pick there Chumpy. I almost took him instead of Blake.
Levis certainly has a good guy running the point now!

Curry would be a far better SG ;)
Traditional sg yes I still think Russ is the better player. Plus curry cost you pick 4.

Very effecient scorer, but can't rebound. For me I would rather have my points coming from other positions and my centre doing typical centre stuff. You will need a rebounding big guy to join.

I'll take
Wall (he's incosistant games of the previous seasons seems to be over with and he's one of the best pg defenders and dimers around at the moment and he's still yet to hit his prime) and Aldridge (for his boards,def,points and abillity to spread the d with that mid range)
Not going to lie it took my so long to decide on these guys from a list of around 5-6

And the season before lead the league in RPG with 15.2, had some 30-20 games and a 30-30 game, won the 3 point shoot out beating KD, shot 41.7% from 3 point range on the season, 20.2 ppg and a streak of 53 games with a double double, that was the longest streak since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976, surpassing Malone's 51-game streak from 1979 to 1980 and was two short of Elvin Hayes's streak of 55 consecutive double doubles set in the 1973-74 season.
With the 18th pick of the 2013-14 NBA Dynasty Draft. Team Levis select, the 28 year old center weighing 232 pounds and standing 6 foot 11 inches tall. Joakim Noah out of Florida University.
Please welcome Joakim Noah to Team Levis!
Team General Manager Levis43 had this to say. "Noah is a very valuable addition to this team. Due to the fact that we already have 2 MVP candidates in Lebron James and Tony Parker. Our team felt as if it needed to add a center inside that will help it's defence. It was certainly a difficult decision to take Noah because of many other options, but we feel Noah is just coming into his prime and has the energy levels needed to help Lebron and Parker get more rings."
I have a feeling MC will take my guy, tbag wont.

Great picks by caluum. I was hoping Aldridge would get back to me.
Pick up in a sec.
These next few picks will be very interesting and decide who I want with my third...
Actually screw it, I am going to take your guy Holz, or at least I think so.
Sure he's not having his best season by his standards yet he's still averaging 20 and 6 assists, and HE'S ONLY 21. People seem to forget how good he is for his age, instead judging him against the lofty heights he's set in his first and second season. I still back him to be better than Wall, better than Westbrook and eventually better than CP3. He's going to become the best point guard in the league.
Come on down, Kyrie Irving

if tbag took love over curry i would have picked up irving.

the reason i didnt pick irving is his lack of D and he isnt that good a passer (compared to elites) in a team of champions his scoring becomes less important.

I guess we'll assess this after the draft. But I'd say that we should vote for the best team but maybe a panel of judges is a good idea!
was contemplating taking this guy in the first round, would have taken him in the second but i thought he might slip.
Andre Drummond
leades the league is FG% with 64.8% for 12.8 points. with love more of a shooter, i wanted a guy who just works under the post and thats where all drummonds points come from. I have plenty of socring in the outside, so just want a tough guy inside the put up 15-20 points a game (soon).
Second best rebounder in the league and I have the best. The difference is drummond is more a offesnive rebounder, and with love workingo n the outside anything he misses (or anyone else) will get collected and scored by drummond.
not the greatest of blockers but not too shabby with 1.2, but still has great D, with his steals being amazingly good for a big man. He gets 2 a game.
In three December games, he's averaging an absurd 21.7 points, 18.7 rebounds 3.3 blocks and 2.0 steals while leading the Pistons to three consecutive wins
at only 20 people are already mounting a case as being the best centre in the league, imagine in a few years.

Have fun with Drummond's 37% FT shooting
Damian Lillard
The reason I didn't take Chris Paul with my first pick was because I could land a gun PG with my 3rd or 4th pick and thats exactly what has happened. He is having a terrific season averaging over 20ppg and shooting great splits. At only 23 years of age he fits perfectly with this dynasty and I think with Harden, Griffin and Lillard, 5 years from now I will still have 3 top 15 players.
PG: Lillard
SG: Harden
SF:
PF: Griffin
C:
Picked old mate Drummo in the ESPN fantasy league at an absolute steal. Knew what he was capable of doing. Is the next Shaq in terms of FT's however. :P
I take DPOY Marc Gasol.
One of the better passing big men and a real defensive anchor. With Gasol on the floor for Memphis, they scored 4.1 more points and allowed 6.8 fewer points per 100 possessions. Which means they were 10.9 points per 100 possessions better with Gasol on the court.
PG:Chris Paul
SG:
SF:Carmelo Anthony

C:Marc Gasol
There goes another one off my list >:(
I'll take Kawhi Leonard and Eric Bledsoe
PG. Eric Bledsoe
SG.
SF. Kawhi Leonard
PF. Anthony Davis
C. DeMarcus Cousins
Nooooo. I wanted Kawhi, I still think it may be a tad early for him but man, that kid can play D! :o
I'll PM Windi now, hopefully we can get close to caluum's double pick tonight!
Sorry, didn't realize I had another pick so soon.. :P
I did want Kahwi as well....
Serge Ibaka.
PG:Chris Paul
SG:
SF:Carmelo Anthony
PF: Serge Ibaka
C:Marc Gasol
I've got defense, offense and passing.
Extremely happy to pick this guy, Roy Hibbert. He is the best defensive player in the league and is almost unguardable with his back to the basket.
PG: Lillard
SG: Harden
SF:
PF: Griffin
C: Hibbert
The scoring backcourt of Lillard and Harden should work well with the rebounding of Griffin and the defense of Hibbert.
Jay will be shocked with this pick.
Rajan Rondo.
Only 27, I don't need him to score just defend and pass. We all know he can do that.
I wouldnt want him carrying my team but I do want him handling the ball.
Russ Westbrook moves to his true position in sg.

I need a SF and i cant risk this guy getitng taken.
he is already playing a role in a team with stars and he is doing it very well. Their is a clear top 4 SF but i think this guy is up the top of the 2nd tier and is only 25.
16.8 points 5 rpg 4 apg 1.2 spg 0.6 bpg
classified as a guy who is good at everything and thats what i want him to do, I have plenty of scoring options so if he can put up 15 a game thats good.
last year Houston Rockets allowed 13.4 fewer points per 100 possessions and scored 1.6 more when Parsons was playing.

Dammit, Holz you didnt take either of my guys. Parsons was my number 3 option though so nice pick.
I'll be taking Nicholas Batum
14 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block... Perfect guy for my team due to his outside shooting and lock down defense. Was the only guy last season that posted a 5x5 game which is very impressive.

Due to playing on a rubbish team, this guy is extremely underrated. Look at the stats however, he is an absolute beast. 15 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block with a PER of 19.67.

you have the best point guard in the league. If i had lebron i would have picked up another small forward and stuck him at point.

Still both only 25/26

Jeff Green and Jimmy Butler
NOOOOOOOOOO
I'm guessing that was because FS picked Jimmy Butler? ;D
Actually yes :o Butler was my next! JG woulda been alright too ;)
Wow. I must be missing something with Butler. Explain why he'd be a good pick? Average stat line. I've only watched Chi Town once this season though.

Can't remember having a draft like this where all the teams were so tight! Really could mount a case for any of the lineups... :o

Rubio has stunted slightly this season but I still maintain that he does have the qualities of Nash. Not saying he'll ever get to those heights though, or even close...
Haha :P anywho (Stupid saying) let's pick this guy
Nerlens Noel :o
Someone please pick my boy! He can not go undrafted!

I thought this kid would slip right near the end of the draft and someone would be getting a steal! Huge talent on the defensive end.
Tristan Thompson
Luol Deng
Gordon Hayward. :)
I'll decide whether to have him as a SF or SG later.
Ryan Anderson and Spencer Hawes.

I believe Anderson has been taken already

Like the Hawes pick, he is having a great season. But I cannot believe my boy hasnt gone yet...

Decent starting 5. Lillard is a steal with your third pick, as he's quickly becoming one of the best PG's in the league. Not sure how Griffin and Hibbert would work together hogging the paint, but it'd definitely make you a force on the defensive end, along with Batum playing perimeter D.
Solid bench, except Oladipo at SG is ???
Thoughts on my team chumps?
I'm a big fan of Westbrook at sg I think he will fit into the role perfectly as it suits his game and he can be the number 1 offesnsive option.
Love very versatile and my team will out rebound everyone.

Look, I'm probably not the best person to give a verdict but I'll give it a crack :P
Teaming up Rondo + Westbrook looks like a pretty deadly combination. I agree about Westbrook at SG; I think he'd be best when he doesn't have to try and orchestrate plays. Parsons adds some outside shooting and Drummond is fast becoming one of the best big men in the league. And of course Love, who's a superstar and offers easy floor spacing.
Your bench is a bit of a letdown though, when compared to everyone else's. Iggy is having a pretty poor season and isn't getting any younger. Harris was brilliant in the small amount of games he played last year but wasn't that playing at PF? I think that seems to be his preferred position. Tristain Thompson's pretty solid. Can score and rebounds hard, so he's a decent role player.
So far I think Levis would win the most championships. He's gone a bit older but I'd be backing him in with at least the first 2.

The big weakness is Kobe.
He is a big baby and won't handle having LeBron in his team. Has no back up sg and whoever he picks I will slot into his starting lineup.
Caluum for me .
Wall durrant. Killer combo.

Tbh Oladipo will be/already is a flowering beast! Should have been pick 1 and has already had a triple double. Lillard, MCW, Harden and Oladipo is a nice young set of guards ;)

disagree,
1 year younger and is showing signs why he went pick 4. similar effeciency numbers, your guy gets 2.6 more points a game but my guy gets more 2.8 boards a game. Ill take boards over points.
recentely changed from left handed to right handed ( which is his dominant hand)

You're wrong. My guy is one year younger than TT and would've gone top 5 if not for back injuries. Not sure where you get similar efficency numbers from... Mine has a 19.0 PER and TT is 14.8
My boy came off the bench at the start of the year so his stats are a little skewed. Per 36 he is averaging 18.9 points, 9.5 rebounds at 47% compared to Thompson's 12.8 points, 10.9 rebounds at 43%... The Big Boy from Ohio shoots 77% from the FT line compared to TT's 69%
Mine has better defensive win shares, offensive win shares, offensive rating and block percentage despite being younger. Keep in mind that my boy has made 21 threes this year compared to Thompson's 0 :o
I know who I'd take every single time...

im wrong on the age not the pick.
From a neutral stand point I think the best teams are caluuum, Levis and tbag.
Jay, Windigo and FS with the weakest teams.
I didn't think long about it though, just a quick skim.

I'll take Lance Stephenson please.
Doesn't just contribute with his outside shot but averages 5 assists and 7 boards a game too. Still only 23.

Cheers Jay :)
What do you think of my team?
Good lineup. The Irving/Gordon backcourt leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end but George and Stephenson might be able to take some of the load on that end. No question of the offensive ability though, Lopez is the best offensive big man in the game by a mile. David Lee is the one that doesn't really fit, he is getting on in age and a youngster from Ohio college would probably be a better fit ;) bit of injury concern from guys like Gordon, Rubio and Gallinari but fingers crossed they get their body's sorted.
Not sure you'd be able to get stops at the defensive end on a consistent basis but would be a fun team to watch :)
Haha, cheers man!
Yeah, defense is an issue. My original plan was to get a solid defensive centre and nab a lockdown guard, but when Lopez and Kyrie were available I just couldn't turn them both up :P
Danny Green completes my team!

I can either assemble a panel of judges or we can vote ourselves.

So do we want to do it a 3-2-1 voting or rank all the teams? And how about voting for your own team, allowed?
Need to sort this out guys.
I thought it would be easiest to just make a poll? Maybe make it you can vote for 2 teams or whatever. Anyone can vote that way which I think is a positive. And we should make it that voting for yourself is discouraged.

I would've thought Levis had this wrapped up but Kobe not recovering has put a big hole in that team.
Surely I win
Levis would have it for 1 or 2 years, but we are talking about 7 here...
Personally, I think Chumps has the best overall team starting 5 & bench eclipse Levis' over a 6 year period.

How about the 4 other guys that aren't competing for first place vote on the winner now? :)
God dammit why did I vote for Levis and Caluum and not myself :P
This shouldnt even be a disucussion lol. The LBJ team crushes.

2. CP3 team

Hahaha Chumps, if we all voted for ourselves it'd still be even! I voted Chumps and holz
You have Jefferson and Aldridge as your C and PF, none of whom can defend. Durant, who is sort of ok. John Wall who isn't that great of a ball defender. Then you have Brad Beal who is average at everything. Your team will just be statues. You have elite scorers but no good defender, let a lone elite defender, which is what you need to win championships.
LBJ team is by far the best. TBH, I think this team isn't even top 3 now that I look at it properly. It's prob the worst team imo. No idea how you managed to stuff it up. All the other teams have a really good mix with a defending PF and Off C or vice versa. Look at
Smith/Noah
Lee/Lopez
Howard/Bosh
Love/Drummond
Griffin/Hibbert
Ibaka/Gasol
Davis/Cousins
Like good luck defending that. While the other team at least have an average/good defender. But some like Davis/Howard/Hibbert have elite defenders paired with borderline elite scorers.
The LBJ team is old though, wont be dominant for the whole 7 years...
Tbag's is my personal favourite :)
Still going to win 3 out of the 7 years atleast.
I'll get a mod to start this poll up again (not working for me) and just leave the guys tying for first place. Hopefully we get a winner out of this :P
In an attempt to break the deadlock, the poll is again up and running... Round 2, ding ding ding ;D
P.S. Dont be a tool and vote for yourself ::)

Statistics say otherwise. The only player I agree who hasn't got defence is Jefferson which is why I got him. I didn't think I'd need any more.
Wall, Durant are only 23 and Beal is only 20. Seriously expecting them to be elite defenders at that age? They aren't specialists but they easily get the job done. Davis etc are exemptions
That was over 2-3 seasons about how efficient their opponent is around the basket. He ranked 5th in close range defence.
Do you actually watch any of their games?
Not saying statistics tell the whole story... but you can't ignore it
My team wouldn't win for at least 3-4 years but it will win a few no doubt about that.

Worst thing to do was come at me with stats. Because it isn't in your favour. At all..... LBJ was an elite defender @ 19 and Howard was an elite defender at rookie. Davis is an elite defender in his 1st/2nd year. So yes, you can expect a player to be elite @ 20 and 23.
Lets look at your team defensiuvly. Will be using NBA reference which is by far the best website for stats and comparisons. It uses raw numbers. What we want to focus on is DWS, WS/48, BLK, TRB, STL and PER. I will be just using players that are defensivly sound at that position to compare them to so you can get an idea at how low your defense rating actually is.
Lets first look at your PG
Defensively he isn't good. At all. Compare him to say, Rondo at the same age
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=walljo01&y1=2014&p2=rondora01&y2=2010
The gap is just so huge.
Rondo was just making it to the elite at that stage. Rondo isn't even the best defensive PG. So against the best ball handlers in the game, and lets face it, thats what you're going to be up against, Wall is going to crumble.
Now the SG.
Lets just put him against Iggy at the same point.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=bealbr01&y1=2014&p2=iguodan01&y2=2006
Again, the vast difference in the numbers.
SF
Durant vs James
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=duranke01&y1=2014&p2=jamesle01&y2=2010
Not as massive of a difference as the other 2, but that is a given since these 2 are elite. But you can see that in all aspects except for BLK and TRB, which are understandable given Durant is 2/3" taller, James is in favour.
Now this is where it gets real ugly, with your bigs.
PF
Aldridge vs Duncan at the same point.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=aldrila01&y1=2014&p2=duncati01&y2=2005
While it is a bit unfair to pin him against a top 10 player of all time, you can just see the huge gap between 2 bigs with 2 different mindsets.
C
Jeffereson vs Howard
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=jeffeal01&y1=2014&p2=howardw01&y2=2014
jefferson is close to the worst defensive C in the NBA.
IF you had someone else other than Jeffereson and a different SG, your team would in championships. No doubt.
Also one thing I think you aren't considering is the fact that this isnt the NBA. This is a stacked fantasy draft. There are no non-elite teams. If one of these teams was in the NBA, they would prob sweep the playoffs. So you have to think differently when showing stats because they won't be up against average defenders or offensive players. They would be up against elite players across the board.
nobody actually cares for your opinion mate
I do. I'm not going to take it as gospel but still find it interesting.
Not sure it's fair to compare each player to the best defender in each position though.

Rondo isn't the best, Iggy isn't the best ( even tho its close), compating KD to LBJ is fine imo, Duncan and Howard, like I said is a bit unfair but Just wanted to show the difference in the mindset between a offensive big man and a defensive big man.
Would like to announce Levis as our winner :)
Cheers boys!
Came in second 8)
Congrats Levis!

If you can think of an idea and run it... I'll be in :P
Theres one on another forum where tis an all time single season where you take a single season from any player in the NBA era and you get that season output from that player.
Thanks guys. Have faith in Lebron!
Thanks to everyone for joining/drafting/voting etc.

Jay, Jordan over sully looking pretty good right now.
What type of draft? Single season, or era single season. Dynasty or era dynasty?

Don't make me bring up Wall vs Irving again. We all know how that's played out...

TT is/will be better im still on that
TT 11.7 ppg on 47.7% FG with 9.2 rpg
Sully 13.2 ppg on 43.7% FG with 8.2 rpg
not sure where this big win is coming from.
Also Sully is injury prone 45 and 52 in his last 2 seasons while TT has gone 82 82. I know who I would rather have.

Sully vs TThttp://bkref.com/tiny/XPIOA
Sullinger has the greater PER, WS/48, Drtg, TOV%, Ast%, TRB%. And that's just the advanced stats.
Sully is shooting 77% from the FT line, compared to TT with 63%.
Per 36 minutes, Sully is averaging 15.4 points, 10.6 rebounds... Compared to TT with 13.2 points, 10.5 rebounds.
The stats you brought up are not entirely fair, as Sully spent his rookie season under Doc, who refuses to give the young guys many minutes at all. And then this season, Sully has been forced to play a lot of C, as we had no other option on our roster. Hopefully we pick up a C in the off-season and then Sully can show what he can do.
I think Sully hitting 57 threes this season, is another showing of how high his ceiling is compared to TT's...
We doing a draft or ?

Yep, but with year 12 I wont be able to assist running it. Happy to join in though.
Looking back calumm should have won.

I still think mine has a good mix of offense and defense. Very young too...

100% not. Levi wins easy.
Caluum has 0 defense.
I can run it, just want an idea of what draft.
