CB Historical Draft - 1990's 2000's version - Discussion Thread

[Who]

How many substitutes are these rosters going to have?

A 10 man roster? Or a 12 man roster? Or a full 15 man roster?

I was just reviewing Larry's '89-'90 game log.  Very impressive stuff by #33.

My first ever basketball game at the Boston Garden was that April 1st game against ORL.  Larry only dropped 36 points.

Pretty good first game for a 9 year old kid, huh?

Man - If i can just get these players I have in Mind, lol...

I think the next 4-5 players will round out my starting five and a Really Good bench. I think they will be Sleepers, too.

Don't Sleep on Jersey!

Like Nick mentioned - pay attention to each player's Years...I am already formulating a good write-up for my end game justification.

Ex - 3pt percentages, FG%, etc...just sayin'.

I can't get over that theft on Joe Dumars! Steal of all steals! 6th and an 8th?!

[Who]

What are the rules on hand-checking and zone defenses?

Are we using 1990's rules or 2005 onwards rules?

That will play a big rule in deciding how effective certain players are both offensively and defensively.

At this time, given that people have already drafted, this is not something that I can make a ruling on. I'll just have to leave it to the panelists to judge based on the quality of the players not how the game will be called to a specific set of rules.

I have Kobe and Artest, I may have to rename my team Team Unlikeable.

wait till you see who goes in the 6th and 8th before judging that one.  There are going to be a lot of very good players on the board at that time.

True.  I didn't love the value Drucci got based upon past drafts, but really, he should land two all-stars with picks in the 6th and the 8th.

4 rounds in and I still can't figure out the value here.

Its definitely unlike the CB draft in that regard.

Completely different because in the CB Draft there is a definitive drop in talent at certain points making say a 2nd round pick be worth a 3rd and 4th and so on. But here, and I think some of it is we have half as many teams, the talent drop off between rounds isn't so great.

So say in the CB draft you trade mid 2nd and mid third for a a mid 1st and you are basically trading say a current level Stephen Jackson and current level Anthony Randolph for a current level Pau Gasol or Brandon Roy. But here would you really trade a mid 2nd and mid 3rd for a mid first knowing that that could equate into a best year ever Patrick Ewing and a best year ever Shawn Kemp for Magic in his best season after 1989? I wouldn't do that trade. Kemp and Ewing at their best is way to much value for Magic in his best season after 1988-89, IMO.

I think the drop off in talent in a CB draft is smore significant adding extra value to higher picks where here the drop off isn't nearly as precipitous hence making higher picks less valuable than that at the CB Draft.

But, that's just my opinion.

I tend to agree with that.

Many quality players left.
