WhatIfSports Draft - complete

[vcsgrizzfan]

1) We know you don't hate to say it.

2) There were several players available better than Richmond at your pick.

Richmond's defensive rating - 46. Ouch!

That's way too low in my opinion. Maybe he had a bad defensive year in '97, but I always saw him as a good defender.

His best rating is 47 and he has a bunch of years in the 30s. Ole, ole, ole, ole...

When you pick #14, all that research is wasted.

I haven't done any research.

Max is like the girlfriend who does better than her man in a March Madness bracket.

Maybe. A win is a win though.

[Bush4Ever]

KEVIN LOVE is out there!!!

Next round too. It's coming. It's coming!!!

I know you are excited at getting another white player, but try to not talk about your penile activities around dudes. kthnxbye

Anyone know if Winning is taken into account? What I mean is, are players that don't pad their stats but win, just as effective in these simulations as a stat padding loser?

Not only does that sound incredibly stupid but it also sounds incredibly difficult to measure.

Of course it sounds stupid to you, you worship LeStatPadder. It's not difficult to measure winning and losing with relatively close stats, LeTot.

Since LeBron has 2 Finals MVPs, he'd be ranked pretty damn high.

Where the hell are these Defensive Ratings / criteria listed...?

Steve Alford is still on the board.

Just looked up Andre Iguodala. He gets screwed in defensive rating. Penny Hardaway was better than him?

No. No...

u mad?

That's why he spent his 1st round pick on Derrick Rose, to anchor his defense.

@Robceltsfan is at the 2 minute warning.

[Ghostown42]

Abe PMed me his pick. He wants James Harden. I'm presuming 12-13.

Yeah, me too. Let's give Rob a few more minutes though before we move on to y2ktors.

[AbeVigodaLive]

Harden - 12

[Ghostown42]

Last, but not least, @y2ktors, finish us off!

[Bush4Ever]

That's what she said! LMAO

@robceltsfan - Don't forget to post your pick whenever you have a chance.

[Ghostown42]

Okay, we are still waiting for @Robceltsfan to make his round 3 pick, but I have updated the draft order for round 4 (which is just the opposite of what we did for round 3).

Round 4 is Most Improved NBA players. You may only choose players who have won the "Most Improved" award (I believe every one of them is available). And you may only choose the year in which they won the award.

Ugh. You're going to make me have to look shit up.

My favorite team so far is Malone, CP3 and Marion with KG/Glove/Durant in second.

Stalker had the chance to get a Kobe/Wade/Durant lineup but blew it.
