Re: 1999 Draft Discussion
I know I complained my heart out, but this is probably the best draft to have a #6 pick vs a #1/#2 pick in a while. Crapshoot from 1-9 imo.
Frankly, I might have taken Manu at #2. That elite potential makes me think it's 100. Which sounds juicy.

Why would starting at the draft files not be helpful?

I tried to retool last off season. Couldn’t get the point guard I wanted.
But yeah we I saw Baron, Terry, Andre and Francis in the 99 draft. I figured I could get my point guard.
Last point guard I had was Mookie which I drafted. I also passed on Kevin Johnson for Gilliam I think. I also drafted Rodman, a bust. And traded Charles Smith for Pippen. And look at Smith.
So just because I do the files, it doesn’t mean I know everything. If so I would of drafted Oscar, Lane, Charles Smith and Kevin Johnson

Re: 1999 Draft Discussion
it would be helpful to inflation overall but does the thing we want to prevent... that is to create a competitive advantage for competing teams (who reap benefit of regularly-rated draftees) over rebuilding teams (at disadvantage because of worse draftees).

Because the RL drafts are starting to get worse, it was a good time to build more difficult drafts I think.dd10snoop28 wrote:it would be helpful to inflation overall but does the thing we want to prevent... that is to create a competitive advantage for competing teams (who reap benefit of regularly-rated draftees) over rebuilding teams (at disadvantage because of worse draftees).

Re: 1999 Draft Discussion
If you adjust draft files, you won't see even a slight impact for at least 4-5 seasons where there's a solid 20% of newly adjusted player ratings in the league. Probably a solid 8 seasons or so before it makes a big difference.Craig wrote:Spoken like someone planning to pick at the top of the draft for a whileUOducksTK1 wrote:I don't think rating inflation is going to be fixed in the drafts.

Additionally, it'll have a negative effect on drafting and trading. No one will want to trade for picks, which will significantly hurt draft picks. Additionally, it gives unfair advantage to teams with good players currently and no future picks. That would be a bigger problem than the inflation problem we have.

I had Wally #2 on my list. I’d be a hypocrite to not get him for a mid teen pick
