2023 CS Historic Draft Thread - Results in OP!

[action781]

Ballot submitted, great work everyone I hope you all had fun and good luck to all!

[Kernewek]

This was really, really fun. Thanks for putting this on, all. And if anyone is on the fence about doing one of these, I'd highly recommend it

[Moranis]

I am working on my ballot.  May not finish tonight. I'm tired.

EDIT: I was closer to finishing then I thought.  Putting together my pm ballot.

[Moranis]

If I had more time, I would actually input every team into the whatifsports.com simulator and play it out.

Didn't even plug the positions in and just like I'm going they actually went with Amar'e at center and Pau at power forward.  I found it interesting that almost all of the seasons I chose were not the highest valued eligible seasons for my team.  I guess the simulator values things a bit differently then I did.

Still pursuing the final ballot, I have not forgotten about this!

[gouki88]

I haven't been able to make contact with wdleehi unfortunately. I have discussed this with another poster, and I think I might have a go at releasing a leaderboard minus wdleehi's team & votes received, because currently he has an advantage.

This will take a bit more counting from me, so it might not happen for a day or two, but just flagging that this is not dead!

Yeah...  Teams that don't vote essentially save themselves a last place vote in the calculations, as they would appear on every ballot. 

I don't think that's anything strategic with wdleehi here, though.  He's just swamped at the beginning of the school year.  Too bad he couldn't participate more, because I really liked his team.

[gouki88]

Time to take some limelight off the Dame bombshell, and get stated on announcing these results.

Given either I'm not smart enough or CS doesn't have the function, rather than one big posts with spoiler marks, I will sequence individual posts from last place to first. Hope that suits all!

[gouki88]

In last (but not least) place, due to a failure to submit votes on time, is...

The Utah Jazz, GM'd by wdleehi!

[gouki88]

In 11th place is...

The Memphis Grizzlies, GM'd by celticinorlando

[gouki88]

In 10th place is...

The Brooklyn Nets, GM'd by Moranis!

[gouki88]

In 9th place are...

The Washington Generals, GM'd by Kernewek!

[gouki88]

In 8th place are...

The Sacramento Kings, GM'd by Donoghus!

[gouki88]

In 7th place come...

The LA Clippers, GM'd by RPGenerate!
