All-Time NBA Draft Round 1: Saint Cy of JFC vs. rare144

[Deleted member 5000]

Are you a troll account? I cringed after one sentence.

Hmm, maybe you're the troll account. I'm my own man.

 

[Ron Mexico]

That first sentence should you make cringe, that's an average of 75 points a game from 3 bench players
[MENTION=181]Ron Mexico[/MENTION] What is it you don't like about Porzingis, he is the most highly prized power forward in the game behind Draymond and Blake Griffin


Anyway, vote away.

I think you are overrating these young guys by a lot. Everyone thinks they will be stars one day, but they are not right now. They put up big stats numbers offensively but on really bad teams that let them do whatever. Statistically neither helped their team win games, they hurt their teams. I am sure both of them will be people that should be picked in this competition in the future but not this year. They cant hold their own and if they games are close and physical these guys are not good enough yet to score. Their points are all garbage time type points in blow outs. Look at how Minny did when it was close this season, they sucked.

I will vote but I am still thinking about it. I am not sure I can vote for a team with such a glaring hole at that spot. Other than that its a good team that I like.

 

[Ron Mexico]

This. Zingy? Rofl.

That is a bad starter. KAT is terrible on the bench as well, almost as bad as Embiid on a bench...

That is the reason I couldnt vote for Rare and had to go with Cy.

Hmm go back and watch Jazz vs Knicks this season and then tell me about Porzingis getting garbage time points, he hit three 3 in a row in the 1st quarter.

Such a huge gap in Bball IQ between these squads. Chess vs checkers.

And then he died. Rip.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This one is closer than I thought it would be for me. I dont love KAT or Porzingis. They are too young and not that good yet. They did not help their teams win. That might end up being the difference for me.

Wilt would eat everyone alive which keeps Rare alive in this for me.

There is also the fact that Malone chocked in the Finals, T-Mac has chocked in every playoff series and Steph has not played well in the Finals in his career yet, this year was okay but more pedestrian shooting from 3. Curry also really sucks on defense. Manu is a really solid role player but still just that. Curry and Malone combo would be pretty good. Not nearly as good as Stockton and Malone but pretty good.

Has anyone on Cy's team lead a team to a championship? Steph got his team to the finals but had to be carried both finals they won. Malone ran into Jordan but I guess he is the star that could carry a team.

I just really hate Rare's PF spot. I would probably vote for him if he had someone decent there.

Gasol and Ben Wallace could guard Wilt, cmon.

Lol, yes he had some great moments. That is why almost everyone including me think he will be a star in the future. How did his team do in the East?

Remember when any player ever in the NBA had that great moment... Probably should pick him as well. John Lucas hit three threes in a row in a game once, you should get him as your PG.


The sad part is there were good PFs still available when these guys got picked.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ben Wallace went toe-to-toe with Shaq in his prime and beat him.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Gasol and Ben Wallace could guard Wilt, cmon.

Nope, they could slow him a bit with some help.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Nope, they could slow him a bit with some help.

Isn't that the case with all these players? No one is getting stopped.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Isn't that the case with all these players? No one is getting stopped.

Yes to some extent but Wilt is the most dominate player ever in the NBA.

All 5 of my starters are in the top 40 all-time for career box plus minus.

 

[Miggs]

right or wrong that is how I do these.

So you admit your approach is wrong and continue to use it?

Crybaby is 20th. How much could that mean?

 

[RandyForRubio]

head to head for me. this is how i vote. starter 2 pts for winning head to head 1 point for bench

steph vs penny - split
Manu vs Pete - pete all the way
mcgrady vs wilkins - wilkins easily
Malone vs Porz - Malone in a laugher
Gasol vs Wilt - Wilt would destroy gasol

Rondo vs Williams - Rondo Easily
Roy vs Butler - close but i like Butler better
Ellis vs Derozen - Ellis easily
Mason vs KAT - Kat is better
Wallace vs Eaton - even if i give this to Wallace rare wins but I am a homer and would pick Eaton

It wasnt even close. I like Rares team much better

Are you retarded?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Cy's team would torch rare's team on the offensive side of the ball. They would get bucket after bucket and this wouldn't be very close. His two best defenders are at PF/C as well which would help at stopping Wilt. I think going forward in this tournament though Cy might struggle a bit on the defensive end.

Well I will reference this thread in the future to prove this is truly a butt buddy popularity contest instead of about basketball. I suspected but this is proof.
