Dr Manhattan turns the ball into a kryptonite synthetic mix that renders superman useless....Holla.

Dr. Manhatten is always getting whistled for 3 second violations and 24 second shot clock violations, because he doesn't see time the way we do.

Extremely valid point haha

Also, he has serious focus issues right? Feel comfortable you can keep him centered and caring about the game?

Dang, I was hoping he would slip to the 6th round.

He´s not a second-rounder, imo. Not enough upside...
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Yeah, and his creepy friends hanging around after the game will scare off all the Ultimate Groupies (now that's a draft idea unto itself!)

At least you know you're team will eat well, and always have gas in the tank.

Yup

Dr. Manhatten is always getting whistled for 3 second violations and 24 second shot clock violations, because he doesn't see time the way we do.

It's 2009.  I am holding a round rubber ball.  Its atomic structure is pliant, spongy.  A sphere designed to compress and bounce.  It intrigues me, briefly.  A clock ticks on both sides of me.  In twenty-two seconds a buzzer will sound.

It's 1959.  Another clock is ticking.  It is Janey's pocket watch.  The door has locked behind me.  A loud humming begins, increases in intensity.  In twenty-two seconds I will change forever. 

It's a time without a date.  Trillions of years after humanity has disappeared.  Before me, the last star winks out of existence, with a tiny quantum whimper.  It makes a sound not unlike the slow final tick of a pocke****ch that needs to be wound.  I am alone.

It's 2009.  Again the clock ticks.  An opponent, a man of vast power, charges me.  Not for me.  He desires the sphere.  Absentmindedly, I turn myself and the sphere into gas.  In eleven seconds, a buzzer will sound. 

It's 1959.  The intrinsic field subtractor begins to take hold of me.  The hum has become an howl.  The ringing in my ears is unbearable.  In eleven seconds, there will be no ears to cause me pain.  I feel fear for the last time.

It's 2009.  A menagerie of teammates and spectators are shouting.  Shouting at me.  I think about human emotion, try to remember the experience of it.  It is slipping away.  There is a deeper purpose to their shouting, but it is meaningless.  Five seconds later, the buzzer sounds.  A man in a striped shirt is demanding the sphere.  I give it to him.  In twelve seconds, the other team will surrender the sphere after hurling it through a metal circle.  Six seconds after that, I will be holding it again.  All of this has happened before.  All of this will happen again in the second half.  Repeatedly. My teammates are ****ed.  They will be ****ed again later.

It's 2009, later that evening.  A group of badly dressed men with recording devices are shouting questions at me.  They want to know about a game, and failure.  I explain that failure and success are meaningless distinctions, outcomes viewed subjectively through a set of arbitrary criteria. They are not pleased with this response.

The press, the press is taking me apart...

I just gotta grab a lovely femme fatale to make him learn to love again. I was thinking Helen of Troy. That'll shut him and his blue.....skin tone up.

Exactly how I envisioned the Dr. Manhattan era. Perfectly done.
