Yeah I did try to change it up a bit. But I think it’s a strong top five. Depending on how the final ratings come in will be the deciding factor. Ownage will usually change a guy from B potential to A and that changes GM’s draft lists. I know when I was rebuilding, it didUOducksTK1 wrote: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!
So the tl;dr on this year's draft: Duncan, Kobe, TMac and Billups, and then everyone else, but even then, really deep draft!
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
Really like Dejan and Pollard as potential late lotto guys. Honestly can’t tell you how they’d sim.
But those would be guys, I’d look into as steals.
Honestly ended up another pretty solid draft. Could possibly be another unknown out there…
