WhatIfSports Draft - complete

[Y2K]

Kobe, Nash, D-Rose, A.I., Dr. J, Dirk and Bill Walton are still on the board.

I'm new to this simulation system. If we draft two centers (we'll use Hakeem/Robinson as an example so I don't name-drop a player) can we shift one of the centers to the PF so we could have a Hakeem/Robinson starting froncourt? Or is it like fantasy basketball where they're set in their positions?

Bush did this last time and kicked my ass in the playoffs. He had Shaq and DRob, I think.

You deserved it for letting him draft Shaq and Robinson on the same team lol

Yeah, but not all players have 100% efficiency at multiple positions:

Link didn't open anything specific. So not every player's position is interchangable? Idk....I'm tired and going to bed now.

We had less teams last time (I think 11) and he had one of the last pics. He picked Shaq the first round and then Robinson in the 2nd round (snake format).

Oh, maybe you have to log in first.

Peace out.

You could play Steve Nash at center if you want. However, his production in the simulation would not be nearly as good. It's best to play players at their true position. However, it wouldn't hurt you much to move a center to a PF or a SG to a SF.

Sweet. My hopes of an All Lakers starting 5 is still available!

[l3bron]

Are we doing the same time tomorrow for Round 2?

[AlaskaHawks]

Are we doing the same time tomorrow for Round 2?

Yes, but draft order is opposite (Snake) SO times will adjust.

[Ghostown42]

Are we doing the same time tomorrow for Round 2?

Yes. And by the way, we have to change round 2. We are not doing defensive players of the year. We are doing all-defensive 1st or 2nd teams. RobCeltsFan noticed that there are only 14 possible players to choose from the DPOY pool (thanks btw, Rob).

So, you don't have to pick a DPOY. You can pick a player from the all-defensive teams (1st or 2nd team) instead from the years 1977 up until 2013. And you cannot pick a player who has already been chosen, even if it's a different year. Remember that.

Study up!

I get to pick before you tomorrow.

[Ghostown42]

Why aren't all the picks posted next to each name? I just got home and would have to go through every page to see who was already chosen.

They are posted in the 2nd post on the first page in this thread.

Here's the guys picked so far: Jordan, Moses Malone, Duncan, Garnett, Shaq, Robinson, Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Bird, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, and Barkley.

[Ghostown42]

Dwcmwa, finish us off for the night. You have until 10:30pm.

[dwcmwa]

Easy choice here.

D-Rose 2011 MVP

[l3bron]

lol

[AlaskaHawks]

LMAO

[FPL]

Called it.

[Ghostown42]

Alright, thanks for doing a great job tonight, everyone.

Tomorrow, same time, same place, different draft order. Remember, it's a snake format, so to start round 2, DWCMWA will have the first pick, then jjstalker, then Grizz, etc. etc. etc.

***IMPORTANT***
Round 2 will NOT be DPOY award winners. It will be all-defensive 1st or 2nd team members from 1977 until 2013.

RobCeltsFan realized that only 14 DPOY players were available, so we switched it to all-defensive 1st or 2nd team members. The reason I included 2nd team as well is because some DPOY's made the 2nd team all-defense. I still wanted to include the DPOY, so, there ya go.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or just ask them in this thread.

I am going to update the 1st post right now. You'll see the new draft order and time slots for tomorrow.
