2013 CB Historical Draft Thread

[Yoki_IsTheName]

I feel like I am out of my league.

I barely know any of the players left.... Part of the reason is the 1982-1983 season took place before I was born....

Anyway, I'm in it to learn something and have fun so the expectations of my team being a standout are minimal.

Ask advice of panelists

or someone not playing the game like bdm860 who has been following along.

Don't worry dude, I liked the Mark Eaton pick for your team 

While it can be tough if you've never seen or read about the players from the era, stats are stats, but don't overlook the W/L column and playoff success either.  If I didn't know who to go with, I'd look at what teams were good in this era (say early 70's to late 80's), who made the Finals, who won it all, who won 50-60 games? And look at who they had on their team.  Also, I find wikipedia usually has good write ups on teams various era's.  Like the New York Knicks have a section "Post-Championship years (1975–1985)", the Kings have a section "1976-1985: Bad Luck settles in" and I'm sure all the teams have similar sections.  They can be good to read (especially for good teams) to get an idea of who was good at what, and who was a big part of the team's success (or failures).  Just an idea.

Is it too selfish to ask for a feedback as well?

[nickagneta]

Absolutely ask for feedback. I am waiting to see how the starting lineups shake out before giving my opinions publicly on where the teams stand in my eyes. I will give anyone feedback via PM and my guess is the other panelist will as well.

Also, here are a couple of good sites

http://www.basketball-reference.com/

Basketball-reference is great for looking up All-Star teams, All-NBA teams, All-Defense teams for any year and also checking out stats of every player. In the player index area they have fabulous tools for comparing players, how players fared against each other and how players shoot from specific areas of the floor.

http://www.nba.com/history/players/
http://www.nba.com/encyclopedia/

These sites at nba.com are awesome as they give you write ups about the greatest players in NBA history, the greatest teams and tons of other info you won't find in many places.

I know there are lots of others.

did Kane pick yet?

[nickagneta]

did Kane pick yet?

No.

If he doesn't some time tonight, I will poll the panelists for best available player and if we don't hear from Kane by tomorrow morning, that BPA will be assigned to his team, regardless of position or fit.

Kane is a regular. He will be here later.

[RebusRankin]

Oh and BDM, feel free to send feedback to AB and I on Washington.

[nickagneta]

Yoki chose Dan Roundfield. I just haven't gotten around to updating the board or roster thread yet.

Bunch of tough guys that is for sure. And I mean that mentally as well as physically. Just a bunch of MEN!!

[RebusRankin]

Does this league have reinforced backboards for Dawkins?

Dawkins better worry about reinforcing the back of his own head.
