I'm curious, how are folks researching their picks?  How many are going by memory / personal knowledge, versus looking up stats from the 70s and 80s?

At this point I'm basing everything of of stats. I don't even know how my players fit each other.

Been like that since Round 5.

Most of it is by knowledge of the well-known names and looking up stats on the lesser names and going by feel for chemistry-sake.

The majority of these guys were shells of their former selves (if they were even still playing) by the time I started getting into the NBA as a kid in the late 80s.

I'm going to take another offensive player to keep the trend with my team
Purvis Short and his 84-85 season where he was 28 ppg, 5 rpg and 3ast and a decent 3pt percentage

looking everything up and have been the entire time.  I mean I know most of the players being drafted, but I'm trying to fit the team together I think it boils down a lot more to stats than anything else.  For example, I took Porter when I did because his 13.4 assist season was by far the most prolific season available to draft.  I wanted Hodges because his 49.1% from three was the best season of any player available (sad to have seen him drafted right before me).  That is especially true now that I have my main rotation in place.  I will be all about the specialty stats from now on.

Did Rondo give anyone a list? I know he said to skip him but I just want to check first.

Straight up Basketball-reference since I know no one from this era after the obvious ones!!

don't think so and he said to skip him.

Alright, no word from Rondo, so we'll pick.


With 9.12, Washington selects a combo(-ish) forward to round out the frontcourt rotation, Mickey Johnson. Season yet to be determined, but he's usually around 20-8-5.

With 10.1, Washington selects the 4x Defensive 2nd team PG, Quinn Buckner, to back up Sleepy. Season also yet to be determined.
