You are drafting them in their 00-01 season, so that's how they will produce in their first season, however as next season starts, they're going to be producing more similarly to how they did in 01-02. Remember to draft with that in mind, if a player was out a full season with injuries in the third year of his career, the same thing will probably have to happen in this league. Remember to draft with a FULL CAREER in mind, not just a season or two.

Here are the teams an GM's we have:
Baltimore Bullets (KobesFinger)
Cleveland Cavaliers (Myself)
Miami Heat (Lebron23)
Orlando Magic (WillyJakk)
Philadelphia 76ers (Timmy D for MVP)
Portland Trailblazers (Toizumi)
San Diego Kings (IGotACoolStory)
San Francisco Warriors (MisterAmazing)
Seattle Supersonics (iamgine)
Toronto Raptors (Twiens)
Vancouver Grizzlies (Maniak)

KobesFinger, MisterAmazing, you guys are on sort of a no-tolerance policy being that you're new and low post counts and such. If you're slowing down the draft too much, I'll boot you guys at any time.

The draft will be a snake draft. The order was randomized using random.org. I gave myself last pick of the first round automatically since I am the commish and don't want any unfair advantages to start. Here is the draft order:

1 - Philadelphia 76ers
2 - San Diego Kings
3 - Seattle Supersonics
4 - Orlando Magic
5 - Miami Heat
6 - Vancouver Grizzlies
7 - Toronto Raptors
8 - Baltimore Bullets
9 - Portland Trailblazers
10 - San Francisco Warriors
11 - Cleveland Cavaliers

No time limit for first round, we'll implement one once everyone is aware. Let's get this going gentlemen!

Took the rosters of the original 16 teams I had planned on moving over to our league. Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Golden State, Indiana, Clippers, Sacramento, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Portland, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver.

Missing some of the big names from that time like Kobe/Shaq/Duncan/Garnett but there's a nice amount of talent to build from and there's going to be some superstars in the upcoming draft(s).

[LBJ 4 MVP]

And everybody feel free to PM me lists if you feel like you won't be able to make it to your pick in an efficient amount of time.

Sorry Boston, We already started the draft and everything. If you stay active and check back here every once in a while, I could get you in once this first season is done.

Nice Pick Lebron23, I really wanted Wallace to slip to me so I could pair him with a scoring guard or forward. Still a good amount of All-Stars left out there.

[Toizumi]

Boston C's, you can take my spot if you still want in.

[Maniak]

Sorry I knew I'd end up holding the draft up a few hours. 1 sec.

[Maniak]

I wish there was a search function on WIF that let you search for more than just 3 teams.

Also, this player pool is terrible.

I take Jermaine O'Neal. While 00-01 isn't his best campaign, he becomes one of the best bigs available in the coming seasons.

http://celticshub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Picture-6.png

Twiens selects Gary Payton via list.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wPkRdA3-5hA/R17EMLb5SeI/AAAAAAAAAdM/R3dop55QxYM/s320/Gary+Payton+Seattle.jpg

[Maniak]

KobesFinger is up.

[Maniak]

I think it was very pivotal for me to get a big in the first round. With a shallow talent pool and the best guard available (in my eyes that's Tracy McGrady) taken, a big is important.

While this season JO is only around 12/10/3/70def, he becomes much better in the coming seasons.

I've never done a seasonal WIF draft like this so I'm not sure how to equate defensive ratings into my selections. There are very few players with high defensive ratings.

[MisterAmazing]

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wPkRdA3-5hA/R17EMLb5SeI/AAAAAAAAAdM/R3dop55QxYM/s320/Gary+Payton+Seattle.jpg

dammit, was looking for him to fall to me :banghead:

[KobesFinger]

B-Diddy for me, he's a 20/7 player for a few years

[Maniak]

Toizumi is up.

[MisterAmazing]

Toizumi is up.

or Boston C's :confusedshrug:

[Maniak]

Why doesn't Toiz keep his spot then Boston just picks after LBJ.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

Tried to pm Toizumi to see if he still wants a part of this but his PM's are full. :confusedshrug:

That's true, defensive ratings seem to differentiate between players from year-to-year. I thought it would make a bit more of a different draft experience without a couple of the big names.

[Maniak]

if boston c's is on just let him pick .

[MisterAmazing]

bump :banana: :banana:

[Maniak]

It's def. different.

I'm still kind of annoyed I wasn't active enough on insidehoops when there would be a draft like this at the end of every regular season. Those always looked to be very enjoyable.

[Timmy D for MVP]

I actually enjoy this player pool because it forces you to really think about the type of team you want to build. You can't just throw a bunch of talent together, you have to put guys together who will work.

WIF doesn't really mimic real life. Since it's a computer simulation it can't take into account personalities. But they do the best job I've seen with their numbers. So it's fun to try to put together teams on that site. (Maybe the only thing more fun is doing it in 2K since they have their tendency ratings too).

With this pool we will have teams that will feature: 1 superstar if you had a high pick, then a couple good players, then role players. OR a few good players and some role players if you had a lower pick. Just like how it is. It's fun.

[MisterAmazing]

Next picK? Anyone? Bueller? :rolleyes:

[Boston C's]

im here what teams are available and who has been picked...plus where do i go to do this lol

With the 10th overall pick in the draft, the San Francisco Warriors select...

http://stacheketball.neswblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/jstackhouse_225_080408.jpg

Jerry Stackhouse (29.8 ppg/5.1 apg/3.9 rpg)

It came down to Stackhouse and one other player, but in the end Stackhouse's versatility and production during the 2000-01 season sold the front office on him.

yea and where are guys like pierce or nash...they arent even on the board

[iamgine]

Vince Carter was not in the pool.

LBJ 4 MVP need to repick

[MisterAmazing]

Im going to wait for LBJ to repick before I go

[LBJ 4 MVP]

He was supposed to be in the pool. He played for the Raptors in 00-01. Might have got deleted by accident at some point because I remember Twiens sent me a list with his name on it.

Boston C's, I only took players from Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Golden State, Indiana, Clippers, Sacramento, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Portland, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver. 16 teams to emulate an expansion league.

I'll make another pick here though and just throw Vince in next year's draft or something because he was a main guy I wanted in this league.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

Andre Miller I guess?

[Twiens]

I didn't really look at the list, just saw Toronto and checked out VC.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

I must have just missed him from the start, oh well, we'll get him in next year.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

01 Dre Miller - 16/8/4/1.5 with 45% shooting
01 Sheed Wallace - 19/8/3/1.8/1.2 with 50% shooting

Solid start. Was really looking for a big scorers but these guys are efficient as they come.

[MisterAmazing]

With the 13th overall pick, the San Francisco Warriors select:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3576/3430700447_5ef7b0894a.jpg
Dikembe Mutombo

With the abundance of scorers and passers available in this pool, we made it our priority to go after a defensive big man. Dikembe more than fulfills that purpose, and even puts up his share of points, averaging about 10 for his career. :rockon:

[LBJ 4 MVP]

Stackhouse and Mutombo is a good combo. Major scoring on one end, and a big defensive presence on the other.

Check the first page for players that are available Boston C's. KG isn't one of them. It's only about half the league.

Was with family earlier so I couldn't write up but we really wanted to get a point guard. It was a big need of ours. Bibby may have been a slight reach but the organization likes his style of play and great potential going forward. We welcome this fantastic player to Philly.

:oldlol:

Amazingly, every guy I wanted was available except Stackhouse who I hoped would fall though I coulda picked him with my 1st.

With that said it's slim pickin's now so hopefully my Big 3 of Reef, Big Dog, and Spree can carry the team.

It's a pretty sad pool in regards to bigs. Jeez, it has not been a deen era for the big men.

[WillyJakk]

It's a pretty sad pool in regards to bigs. Jeez, it has not been a deen era for the big men.

Agreed.

I had to go with Abdur-Rahim since T-Mac was taken cause of the lack of quality bigs and I was banking on Stackhouse flying under the radar.

The teams the pool of players were taken from was meh and :coleman: @ the omission of 2001 Raptors Vincent Carter being left off list since his fellow teammates are on here.

Anyway looking forward to seeing how the games go and I wonder if we can do trades.

the thing is i was looking for sprewell to fall too :banghead:

Reef + Stackhouse would be too good; coulda had him possibly, as I almost took Sheed over Stack. But in the end the 29.8 ppg was too tempting to pass up.

[KobesFinger]

I could've sworn i saw Ray Allen's name on the list?

[MisterAmazing]

I could've sworn i saw Ray Allen's name on the list?

Taken by Boston C's in the first round, one pick before me :mad:

And it seems the pool is thinning out in terms of talent already :confusedshrug:

[Lebron23]

LeBron23 selects Jalen Rose.

Yeah, I was looking at Stackhouse @29.8 ppg vs the lack of bigs and knew for a fact the higher quality bigs would be gone so Shareef turned into a no brainer cause honestly the wing depth is pretty good.

I figured I could make up for scoring by getting Spree & Big Dog.

[Maniak]

Ugh lebron23 thats who i was going to take. gimmie a min now.

I need another scorer with my next pick, but I figured Mutombo has one of the best defensive ratings, and that'll compensate for the scorer I could have taken with that pick.

[WillyJakk]

Well Stack and Deke are a good pairing, gonna be interesting to see who you pick next.

I'm interested in seeing how alot of guys starting fives turn out cause this 4th Rd seems to be the turning point where talent falls off a cliff if picks aren't selected very carefully.

[WillyJakk]

SON OF A BITCH!

My guy got picked!

[MisterAmazing]

kobesfinger is up

[KobesFinger]

Allan Houston

[MisterAmazing]

boston c's is up

[LBJ 4 MVP]

Still some very good players out there.

[iamgine]

We should do round based free picking after round 5. Give it 4 or 6 hours per round for everybody to pick and then move on to the next round. Will speed up the draft on the non important players aka the bench players.

I'm thinking after Round 6 we can do that. Sixth man can be very important IMO.

[MisterAmazing]

sounds good to me.

[iamgine]

Hmm good point. After round 6 would be good too.

[Maniak]

yep.

[IGotACoolStory]

Wait, so how would that work?

[Maniak]

It's just First come first serve i think is whats being implied

or we could make it so people pick like 3 or 4 players at the same time in the same order.

[MisterAmazing]

like i said, thats fine by me.

now where boston c's at? :kobe:

[LBJ 4 MVP]

It's been near 9 hours on the clock for Boston C's. Fair to skip him you guys think?

[MisterAmazing]

yeah im tired of waiting. Should we just let him pick when he comes and skip him for now?

[iamgine]

6-8 hours is usually the skipped time

[LBJ 4 MVP]

yeah im tired of waiting. Should we just let him pick when he comes and skip him for now?
Yup. Go ahead.

[MisterAmazing]

Alrighty. With our 3rd round pick the San Francisco Warriors select

http://oncourtonslaught.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jamal-Mashburn.jpg
Jamal Mashburn

Despite being fairly injury prone, we feel Jamal is a perfect fit for our team. He can pick up the slack scoring with Stackhouse, and can help the big men on the boards.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

I select P.J. Brown & Reggie Miller

Hey iamgine could you post your roster, I wanna check out your team, thx.

[iamgine]

^So far I have Tmac, Kurt Thomas, Raef Lafrentz and Bo outlaw

Igotacoolstory's up, followed by Timmy D

[WillyJakk]

Nice, I like the Bo Outlaw pickup.

If you aren't a Magic fan you must be a diehard NBA fan (or remember Bo from his very early Clipper days), very underrated hustle player. Nice.

And real quick I gotta do a word play on your name,

iamgine, IAMPISSED you picked T-Mac right before it was my pick. lol

I just look up stats really and he seems to fit my team's need.

With back to back selections the 76'ers will take:

Al Harrington
00-01 stats: 7/5/2

We love this guy's drive and feel he has great potential going forward.

http://www.lebasketbawl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Tyrone-Hill.jpg

Tyrone Hill
00-01 stats: 9/9

Possibly the ugliest prospect we've ever seen. But he uses that frightening look to scare off other players, making him a very effective rebounder.

[IGotACoolStory]

And Boston C's still has a skipped pick to make as he showed up 12 hours past his pick time to try and take a player that has already been picked.

Bump.

His defensive rating was the best of available SF's. It also stays consistently high throughout his career.

Clarence Weatherspoon

Bump.

[iamgine]

Usually if someone's skipped in the last turn and hasn't make a pick when their next turn comes then they're automatically skipped again.

I'm too nice to skip people right away, lol. Plus with my pick so close, I didn't want anyone saying that I'm skipping him just to get to my pick or anything.

Go ahead whenever you're ready MisterAmazing.

[MisterAmazing]

Give me Vlade Divac.

What I could do, since the talent is pretty much equal for the bench with a couple exceptions is after this 6th round, I could simply randomize the benches for each team on random.org.

I would make sure each team has at least 2 guards, 2 forwards & a Center off the bench.

Or we could stick with how we were doing it before, which is kind of a free for all system for each round, to give you guys more control. Just a suggestion on speeding things up, so we can get some actual simming done. Let me know what you guys think.

Brent Barry
00-01 stats: 9/3/3 .476% 3P

This man shoots the ball, very quickly, and very well. He has supreme ability, some see a bit of his father in him. Whether or not he reaches this potential we love to have him. At worst he'll be a great role player.

http://www.rankopedia.com/CandidatePix/43179.gif

Desmond Mason
oo-01 stats: 6/3/1
This youngster is really a tantalizing prospect. We may need to wait a bit to develop him a bit but when his time comes he will be able to fill it up coming off the bench.

Sorry CoolStory and Timmy D. We are only doing 6 rounds of the actual draft, and I don't wanna give you guys any unfair advantages over anyone else.

You guys gotta pick one player of your last two picks to keep each.

[LBJ 4 MVP]

Oh, and anyone against this idea?

[IGotACoolStory]

Well I would prefer to pick my own team at this stage in the draft because it's not same level players left... Some of the guys are in their last season or played 13 games and averaged 2.1 ppg over the next 3 years. And there are a lot of those types of players in this pool. There are a shockingly bad amount of players to choose from. If there weren't such terrible scrubs mixed with legit role players left, then sure. But right now there are actual good players left on the board. Some teams will get completly screwed over.

If that part of the draft which takes forever would just pay attention... Imo, start by replacing the guy who has been skipped like 3 times already.

However, which ever way majority rules I suppose. I would like one more round (so the remaining nine or ten picks this round), at least. There are still multi-seasons double-digit scorers left.
