i'm in a similar situation. very busy month for me with several overseas travel. i'll try to join the draft... will probably be late and a little unresponsive at times, but will check the thread when i can.
So who's in? 1. Yung-T 2. LCA 3. JMC 4. oelman 5. daywalker 6. RedRed 7. lwqbulb 8. Jontro @LCAhmed @RedNation @oelman44 @Horry33 @Jontro @RedRedemption @DonatasFanboy @Voice of Aus @Plowman @Jmcballer88 @BigMaloe @FTW Rockets FTW @Jmcballer88 @Von Rafer @VBG @don grahamleone @Jamers @kevC @Spooner @IzakDavid13 @fallenphoenix @daywalker02 @RocketsRed14 @Spooner @LonghornFan @thething @lwqbulb @da_juice @Pen15clubber
One question for the 3rd round, 4th and later rounds. What are no accolades whatsoever? Does a college championship count? Do McDonalds All American count? Does a La Liga title, foreign title count? Does an All NBA third team, Defensive third team still count? There are few players who have won absolutely nothing at all, I feel that is a huge gap between DPOY, 6MOY, ROY, MIP........and those smaller recognitions. Do you go for more established role players without a championship or just browse through Ex Development league players?
Accolades outside of NBA are okay, we always only judge based on NBA performance. Still think there are a lot of good players that have never been All-NBA or All-Defense, it shouldn't be an issue when the first three rounds consist of accomplished players, your team should look good.
that's a good point. i guess if we do go for no nba accolades, basically we'll be doing 3 good-great players with scrubs. hahah. maybe someone in the know can chime in. btw can jontro has #1 pick? if not then i might as well concede the 1st round.
Wait is this an All-Time draft? Historic role players is where I'm going to get absolutely buried. Shieeeet
So right now: 1. Yung-T 2. LCA 3. JMC 4. oelman 5. daywalker 6. RedRed 7. lwqbulb 8. Jontro 9. horry Will probably start tonight, 9 brehs would certainly be enough and we could also add one during first round.
Pretty sure no one knows sh** about 99% of D-League players and most barely watch any International leagues. Not sure why many think it'll be that tough to draft guys without NBA accolades. If you simply take a look at the current Rockets, you'd still have guys like Eric Gordon, Ariza, Nene, Capela. Make it All-Time and there'd be a sh**load of serviceable players.
Ok. I'll take the shet load of players. If we clear this up, Gordon's, Nene's NBA All Rookie Team selections do not count as 'Accolades' and Ariza's NBA title with the Lakers does not count as well. I'll gladly reserve a back court spot for one of them.
