2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

Bernard King would be my first choice in the previous round.

But then I have read about his tendency to commit violence against women.

No place for a guy like that in my book. So I skipped.

Joel Embiid is a great pick.

I have thought about picking him if he fell to me but then I got Parish in a trade.

I don't think his injury history will affect the votes all that much. People saw what he can do as a rookie so they will vote for how good he is, not how many games he can play.

But what he can't do... is play basketball often.

I mean, you might as well pick Bobby Hurley or Greg Oden.

In real life that matters, sure. But in fantasy basketball, people will just remember how good he is and vote.

I dunno though, he was good but for a very brief period of time, maybe just a handful of games? Not sure everyone took note of that last season.


Sometimes it's also what people remember last about a player. For example, a PG who has had a pretty good career for an East coast team is never gonna get picked in this thing cos he had a very unfavourable stint with the Jazz.

A handful of games? He played just 38 games or so and was still in strong running for ROY. He's an elite basketball player and I hate to break it to this board, a much better overall player than Rudy.

But Embiid never underperformed whenever he could play. I don't think it is a good anology to give a PG example that has one good season. This is like saying Joel sucks normally but played well just last season.


Let me put it this way: Anyone who votes on a team considering injury history instead of talent/winning potential does not know what All Time Draft is about and is voting out of context.

It depends what the definition is when voting. If you say 'pick the player's best YEAR', then strictly speaking you've gotta take the performance of that whole year, correct? How he played, how he scored, how he rebounded, his consistent plays averaged out for that year, etc, ... but don't you also have to take his 'durability' during that year into account?


Like Embiid played 38 games last season, that's 46% of the possible 82 games. If we're gonna say he's playing a 7 game series as part of this competition - shouldn't we also 'project' that he'll only play 46% of the games in that series, i.e., 3.24 games out of the possible 7 games?


I mean we're not going by the player's best 'month' or best 'day', are we? Or even best 'game'? If you're gonna take a player's best day/game then Devon Booker would go top 10 cos he scored 70 points in a game last year. And how many players has ever scored 70 points in the history of the NBA?

1. Don't mention players undrafted.

2. You are simply talking in your head on this. Have you ever heard of something called Eye-test? How about watching the player instead of checking the stats? Watching enough to know that he can dominate the other team?
