- 2014 NBA offseason thread, v3: Draft Part B- Why me, man? -

Well unless you want to dig up some game film for us, stats and subjective memories are pretty much gonna dominate the discussion.

Well like I said you claim he is efficient.

I pointed out he has regressed his 3pt shooting 3 years In a row

How effective or efficient is that?

 

[Palpatine]

So anyone who hasn't been an All-Star is a can. Got it, why can't NBA GMs figure this out? Why do they insist on filling their rosters with players who aren't All-Stars?

I believe I listed some more criteria.

Isiah Thomas, for a PG, put up a pretty efficient 20+ ppg and 6+ apg last season. And it was within the flow of the Kings' "offense", I know because I paid attention to him since he was on The 2013 World Champion Razor Faust. He would pick his spots letting Cousins and Gay try to establish themselves and then only start amping up the FGAs when it was time to attempt bringing the team back from a double digit deficit.

Fuss making the mistake of thinking fantasy standouts are great players.

His TS% has been a solid .574 every year in the league as his FGAs have increased every year in the league

For reference:

The highest career TS% of the "real" Detroit Pistons Isiah Thomas: .554 in 1986

Kooby's career TS%: .555

At least I can identify fantasy standouts

Like Derelict?

 

[faustian]

Derelict was a risk

It's not worth the risks I take, it's like risk vs reward baby.

My spreadsheet after the draft actually had Faust drafting the roster with the most value based on their season projections but by the same token, his picks of both Rose and Westbrook would not have been possible if it weren't for their injuries. He would've gotten only one of them if they were presumed 100% healthy prior to the season because they would've been ranked higher.

Plus my draft flexibility was pretty restricted because of the 5-cat strategy I was adhering to

This is not a real grown-up relationship with adults and living our lives and stuff *tards out*

ESPN was way off on their projections for most of the players I drafted.

I still don't know how Sullinger was ranked in the 300's in the pre-draft rankings.

You ever notice that in the scene where Neil besmirches Charlene, the amount of clothes hangers changes every time they switch camera angles?

I made the mistake of going in to wing it. I had planned on making a draft list the night before, but end up having 2 really long days. Was too busy, and then my draft showed for it, but free agency/trades turned it around a bit. My team actually did pretty well to start the season, and tailed off after about the first month.

Probably because ESPN's standard setting is 8-cat. No Turnovers. I agree though. Sullinger smashed his ADP and he shouldn't have been ranked that low. I didn't even have him on my radar. No one probably did but you.

 

[Palpatine]

Laker level pathetic.

 

[echohead]

overpaid isnt a fact, its an opinion. you can say anybody is overpaid. fact is the reason NBA "role" players are paid more is the reason i gave him.

perhaps i need to dumb it down for you too??

well if you aren't going to debate my opinion you should take your can logic elsewhere instead of just responding with hyperbole.

 

[faustian]

lol never noticed that. My guess is they had to do so many re-takes of the part where Neil pwnts the hangers that it got impossible to keep track of how many were supposed to be there.

Legit laugh

After seeing how much Gortat got i'm scared to see how much Lowry going to get. Before the start of free agency I was thinking he was getting 4Y/48M now i'm thinking his agent will somehow get a fifth year in the 13-15 million range.

12 mil a year is what Toronto offered him. I think that's as high as it goes

 

[metal]

Dammit Chicago. Why do that
