I’m not sure what a chewey score is but I’m excited to find out

ill second that

i like the marion pairing with wilt 20ks...both have higher and lower usg seasons that can mixed and matched nicely...wilts work on the boards also opens up the door to possibly play some marion seasons at pf too

i see you midge...such a beautiful pairing

15. dbkc - James Harden, Tyson Chandler, Horace Grant

This is TROUBLE. Pretty sure I finished 2nd with Harden-Wallace-Horace as my first three picks and 3rd as Harden-Tyson as my first two. Not to mention what dbkc did with Harden in the very first Savage. TROUBLE, I say! Lord, don't let him grab who I think he might grab this round!

If anyone wants some entertainment, I tried to explain WIS rankings to Reddit and it kinda blew up. It’s pretty funny to see people’s reactions to DeAndre Jordan > Kobe. I tried explaining that we’re in a draft economy and that there were way more high-usage all-star wings throughout history than elite rebounders who were all-D, but you know. Might get some fresh faces on the site though fyi

You might have to tell me who that guy is because I’m struggling to find anyone I want lol.

Fantastic stuff. I’m shocked this got so many views but who knows maybe it’ll convince people to come play.

Lol great stuff dB. Glad r/nba could enjoy some of the hilarity this sim provides, and who knows, maybe that will spur a few extra people to sign up and give it a shot.

Great write up. Reading through some of the comments is fun. It is funny to take a step back and hear people presumably without experience in WIS make points about DJ and Gobert rated higher than Hakeem. It starts me wondering if the sim could ever evolve to something else.

I've been traveling all over the place with no access to my prep/analysis except in my head and a cheat-sheet of the last draft. Starting to put my numbers in and they're not as bad as I thought, but definitely some work to do. That draft must be breaking some serious pace records.

My math has a pick every 56 minutes. Considering overnight that's impressive

this is amazing

replies are hilarious

holy **** i just got to the part where you are arguing with the guy who cant understand why deandre is more valuable then other role players

"show me the algorithm!"

yea somehow i think thats gonna be wasted on a guy that cant understand that higher mins and higher dreb is important
