2015 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[LogGrad98]

I dont do these things because the voting is retarded. Pretty sure I clearly had the best team last year and I lost to a terrible team. Probably because Jazz fans voted based off of emotions rather than clear basketball reasoning.

And you wonder why we picked those guys ahead of d will.

I love how everyone is under the impression that they're masterminds at manipulating the voters. Almost as funny as everyone making the statement "I always make the best team, but I never win".

Pretty sure we did a "Current Players draft" last year and I had Deron Williams - Gordon Hayward- Kahwi Leonard - Anthony Davis - Roy Hibbert (Nicola Vucevic as his backup) and I lost to a team that started Derrick Rose and Kobe as their best players.

Rose and Kobe have hardly even played basketball the last 2 years. It was suppose to be a "at the moment" thing, not based on careers.

Dude could probably gain a half second on his 40 time just by shaving.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Bob Pettit was the original power forward. Would have loved to grab him, but he doesn't fit my vision for my team. . .

I agree with most of your complaints in this thread. Andrew ****ing Wiggins?? What a joke. Lillard before D-Will?? Ridiculous.

Kobe is an all-time great, and Rose was a great player however. Regardless, pretty much everyone thinks their team was best! That's what I was getting at. It's like religion. Everyone is super-duper sure theirs is the right one, but by their nature, at most, only one can be right!

 

[Jazz and Utes]

I'm not trying to start anything but if you traded Russell Westbrook for Isiah Thomas straight up than you really have no room to talk lol

The sixth game was sweet vindication for Bob Pettit, and that's an understatement. Before a cheering, stomping crowd of 10,218 at St. Louis, Pettit put on a show perhaps unmatched by any individual in NBA playoff history.

Pettit scored 19 points as the Hawks took a 57-52 lead into the halftime intermission. Six straight points by Pettit pushed the Hawks' margin to 10 in the third quarter before the Celtics sparked by Bob Cousy's brilliant playmaking, cut the margin back to six, 83-77. A Boston spurt in the opening moments of the final period gave the Celts an 86-84 lead, and the gloom was so thick in the arena one could practically cut it with a knife.

That's when Pettit took charge. Despite double and triple-teaming by the Celtics, the Hawk star sank basket after basket, free throw after free throw, singlehandedly keeping St. Louis in a game they otherwise would have lost, and preventing a dreaded return trip to Boston for a seventh game.

With a little more than 20 seconds to play, Pettit drove on Russell, stopped and arched a shot over the clawing grasp of the Celtic captain for the basket that gave the Hawks a 108-105 lead. But Tom Heinsohn made two foul shots with 16 second left to cut it to 108-107. With the Boston defense converging on Pettit, Slater Martin tried a set shot that missed, but Pettit somehow fought his way through the mob of Celtics around him to tap the ball in and make a final Celtic field goal meaningless. Pettit had scored 50 points, including 18 of the Hawks' final 21 points and gained sweet revenge from the Hawks' 1957 NBA Finals loss.

The only dude to beat Russell in the finals.

It wasn't straight up. Multiple picks and players were involved.

Westbrook was injured and I had one of the best teams in the league. Thomas was putting up crazy stats in Sacramento at the time (continued to put up better stats during teh fantasy playoffs). I basically sold some of my future to "win now". Shortly after a few more of my players got injured also and I couldn't go far in the playoffs. Had my team stayed healthy after the trade, I could have easily won.

It's not as black and white as 'HOLY CRAP YOU TRADED WESTBROOK FOR THOMAS!!!".

Ok, that's why I wanted to state I wasn't starting **** without knowing the facts.

I beat your *** in Fantasy Football.

Wiggins is a terrible pick. Wiggins from his rookie year is getting dominated by all these All-Stars and HOF players.

I already stated earlier in the thread that I don't expect to win, and I was just building a team for fun.

I know Wiggins shouldn't get picked. But I've also learned that voters will vote based off liability of a player.

It's true. And there weren't as much side pieces as he makes it sound. Those were the two main pieces.

The worst part of the trade is its a keeper league.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Pick #97 - Deron Williams

[video=youtube_share;jcK_X8UyyXw]https://youtu.be/jcK_X8UyyXw

3× NBA All-Star (2010–2012)
2× All-NBA Second Team (2008, 2010)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (2006)
NBA Skills Challenge champion (2008)
Consensus second-team All-American (2005)

He has the length, shooting and scoring that I need to help stretch a defense, plus he's just enough of a facilitator to get the ball to my other athletes and let them do something with it. Good fit for my team off the bench behind Payton with an emphasis on offense.

Westy is untradable is keeper lgs imo, never get fair value for a guy like that

^^ Under-selling D-Will. At one point, which is what is relevant to this draft, he was the best PG in a PG-heavy league. He was better than Paul, who was picked in 3rd round.

Steal of the draft.

And how did that work our for you? Did you win? No.

Here are the facts.

Over the 3 years the league has been around, I have won $550 dollars, and Cy has lost $150.

I've taken 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Cy has never placed and has never won any money. Basically I'm taking money out of his wallet and putting it mine based off knowing math and a little bit a basketball.

But yet, Cy is always telling me how stupid I am. Well Cy, if stupid keeps paying me with your money, then fine by me.

There was also Kendall Marshall who was putting up 9+ assist per game.

There was somebody else who I can't remember.

It's fantasy basketball, it's about accumulating stats.

Isiah Thomas had nearly the same production as healthy Westbrook that year, so I basically traded 0 production from an injured Westbrook for somebody who puts up slightly worse stats, an assist specialist, and another player I cant remember.
