Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
Literally have no idea what to do. 6 is the literal worst possible scenario for me.

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
Even my Mavs 1st should get me a good piece. Big time draft.

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
Could get interesting after 3.
Also, after my third sim of simming prospects, my PC crashed. Took pulling the hard drive out to get draft file. Will be one of the most unknown files in recent years.

Any chance at getting some notes today to start considering picks and potential trades?

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
Thanks for getting notes up, Jabba!
So the tl;dr on this year's draft: Duncan, Kobe, TMac and Billups, and then everyone else, but even then, really deep draft!

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
I need to review the notes ratings as they may be slightly different from the draft file. Will update tonight

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
IDK, don't feel like it's as deep as some drafts recently. I feel like everyone outside of the top 4 (maybe 5) won't be more than role players at best.pistolpetejr wrote:Thanks for getting notes up, Jabba!

Where other drafts, you have some late lotto or mid draft picks end up being solid starters.
But drafts have been strong lately, so makes sense.

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
Different kinds of deep, I'd say this draft looks like it might have a lot of guys who can be low end starter to high end bench guys. So maybe less lotto depth (guys who can become good starters) but good depth post-lotto in terms of contributors (vs drafts that have a lot of busts or guys who take most/all of their rookie deal to become useful).UOducksTK1 wrote:IDK, don't feel like it's as deep as some drafts recently.

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
^ I’d be elated with a top 3 pick in this draft. Probably best 3rd pick ever by far IMO
If I was like 5-8, I’d say it’s the worst draft in a while for that range

Re: 1997 Draft Discussion
I'm getting some massive offers for #1 (Kobe) but the bias in me might be too strong
After a year of watching Westbrook in the current Lakers it makes me miss the glory days
