that's not the right Scottie - I'm either going all in (94-95) or using one of his more 3pt friendly/economical Swiss-army knife seasons (like 95-96) really depends on what's waiting for me at the next turn

I’m just going to delete that list because everyone seems to be confused about what it is supposed to represent. I didn' think you would use the Scottie listed in that list or use it in my evaluation. It is just selected by gamescore/82. It’s a custom table filter.

I kind of got what you were doing but I just didn't think that was the optimal Scottie - his most expensive season has slightly better usage, efg, defense, rebounding and takes and makes treys at a respectable rate (24% perimeter/38% 3pt%)

I would generally assume the 94-95 season for anyone using Scottie unless their team demanded a different version. There just isn't a very good automated way to have a table automatically select the best version of every player in the sim. And it is too much manual effort to manually annotate it for each one. I've tried different selection criteria like Gamescore, PER, WARP, etc. and none are a totally perfect approximation for every theme/draft.

I'm not expecting positive reviews of my draft, tbh... I know 2nd & 3rd round pick were 'reaches' and play the same position (and they will for my team. I'll be using the 16-17 version of each, which means Lowry plays 8 mins/game at SG) But I'm not drafting for positive reviews, I'm looking to win :-)

Lowry wouldn’t have made it past the turn, milest. I’d planned to use 15/16.

The truth is, robusk gets to pick before me in every round. You could argue that I shouldn't have made the deal, but I wanted Rodman there so badly, I didn't care what else I had.

this is gonna be fun. I'll get somebody good this round, and (fingers crossed) somebody good next round.

EDIT: Not complaining, not regretting, don't feel like he took advantage of me. I could've looked a little more closely, but I'm happy with the deal.

Well, that's good to know.. Ha.16-17 Lowry/Conley are pretty unique players, and fit well with Shaq. I have a plan to address what needs to be addressed.

Both of those seasons are good! I'm excited to see how this team turns out.

Rodman was a steal at that spot and the price was reasonably low.

Great job robusk! Thanks for the insight. Always an entertaining read.

Sanders is 97% at SF..so, hes not defending 'just 1position'. Shaq can't guard the PF, so drafting a quality defender/rebounder at that position is a must. There aren't very many guys in the 4th who fit that description - and even fewer that can play/defend the SF as well- which is also a priority of mine... with Sanders, i can now draft a lesser defender to play the SF- which wouldnt be wise wothout him....There' no player in the database with sanders D, reb, and efficiency at all 3 front court positions- at an affordable price & available in the 4th.... I have certainly gathered that the other owners think Sanders is a bum.. and that's great!!! I think I've made 3 conference finals with him on my roster in this league, including a championship and a finals loss.... I'l keep drafting him and winning every single season of u guys let me..... thanks for thinking he's not good enough.
