2023 CS Historic Draft Thread - Results in OP!

Oof, I wanted Grant Hill so **** badly. While T-Mac may have the offensive numbers, I think peak Hill is an all-around better player imo. Was my 1a for the draft.

Make him an offer he cannot resist

Gonna be real tough.    He was the man at the high school when I was in middle school.

Can I pick if I am up next?

Yep. You don't have to wait until your allotted time rolls around if the people before you have made their picks

I thought McGrady and Hill were clear top 3 guys, so no major surprises so far for me. Could get interesting now.

Griz take Vince Carter (2006-07 season)

I was gonna start fishing for some offers, if he fell into the 4-6 range. Ah well, I think these drafts are more fun when you have to go to plan B.

Griz take Vince Carter (2006-07 season)

I'd probably go 01- but I like the pick.

Nice, another great offensive peak. Pretty good consolation prize to not getting T-Mac.

The 90s/00s wings are flying off the board!

I'd probably go 01- but I like the pick.

Seasons don't have to be finalised just yet anyway, so no need to commit there.

[RPGenerate]

I like Carter. Maybe a bit of an reach, but I think his overall game is more conductive to team building than someone like T-Mac.

2 less points averaged but better numbers in rebounding and assists. It was a close call between those years

[RPGenerate]

This may be presumptuous of me, but I think there's a clear top pick left that would easily be my choice at this point.

So it doesn’t get lost:

Tracy McGrady

32-6.5-5.5 with 2.5 “stocks” on 46-38-80% efficiency, .564 TS%.

Led the league in fun/loony metrics like PER, OWS, WS/48, VORP, BPM, OBPM, didn’t see any eligible season with close to half that.

Looking at the # of players since 1960 with higher metrics in one season, TMac is 11th in VORP and BMP, 22nd in WS, 27th WS/48.

This is one of the top 25 scoring seasons up to 2010, with multiple seasons by the same player counting. Think top 15 all time scorer, but with a 30%+ assist rate.

Bleacher report, bible of bball info, lists is at the 5th best season to not win MVP, behind Wilt’s best season, MJs best season, DRob’s best season, and just ahead of Lebron and Chris Paul.

Look who’s on the article cover: https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2699535-nba-metrics-101-best-seasons-that-didnt-result-in-mvp.amp.html

Simply put, his peers don’t exist in this league. 2002-03 TMac is MJ.

IMO, of course.

I have 2 guys.
