If SJF typed "2+2=5" and I said "No, that is 4" then FOJ would interject with "Yeah but we all know he meant to say 4 you are a dick for arguing with him".

Others could discuss his post without the clarification.
I understand that you are unable too. That must suck.
I'm sure you can and would talk about this misfortunate misuse of a word all day long but that sounds uninteresting to me and a big waste of time so I'm not responding to anymore of your posts on this subject.
Good day, Carry on.
Yeah, other can discuss his post without clarification. My post does not interrupt any of that. You are the one who chose to interject yourself into the exchange that I started between SJF and myself. So please, dont lecture me on arguing or what SJF meant to say. The only person I'm interested in hearing from on that matter is SJF himself.
If I posted a link to something and I completely misread the context of that link, then I would want someone to inform me of my error. If I'm wasting my time trying to help someone understand something correctly, then so be it. If he just mistyped and understood it just fine, then great. I'd rather offer him the correct information then just assume he just mistyped.
You may choose to live your life in ignorance but I do not and I think those who participate in the draft discussion like to have as much information regarding the draft as possible. Nothing I said to SJF was disrespectful in anyway. I didnt call him a name or insult his intelligence with my post.
Draft coverage can be considered entirely pointless in that case. What choices do we make that affect the draft? This is all for our amusement, so is it all pointless?

I mean for the same person to have two seperate lists doesn't make sense. GMs go with the best player 9/10 times, so if we keep things simple and just pick the best player at the spot, you'll probably also end up with the best "mock" draft.
Your logic makes no sense to me.
Big Boards are your opinion of who you think the best prospects are.
Mock drafts are you trying to predict the behavior of the 30 teams and what their individual big boards could be in the context of the draft.
Very important to have two separate list if you want to differentiate your skills of scouting and ability to predict team's decisions. If you just want to make one list and predict that 30 NBA teams are in complete alignment with your individual big board, then go ahead.

I'm saying you (and even the "expert" sites) would be more accurate just doing your best big board rather that trying to get inside the heads of a war room you have 0 outside information on. I don't want to spoil anyones fun though so if you enjoy it, go for it.

**** it. I want Justin Patton at 24. I think he can play the 4 and become a stretch 4, given his 3% last year (on 0.4 attempts but still) and background--he was 6'1" as a HS frosh and a guard.
Worst case, we will get 15 great minutes behind Gobert. But I really think he can play the 4 too. Dude is quick and very athletic and bouncy. I love the idea of having a twin towers ala Sampson and Akeem. Minus the career ending injury of course.
Our defense could be sick and this could be our counter-punch to Dubs small ball. Throw insane length out there to defend them and more importantly, on the offensive end, kill them inside to get their thin frontline into foul trouble. Patton's FT% is a concern but he has good form and shot well on minimal attempts from 3 and def can get to 70% I think. Maybe 75%.

You aren't counter punching the Dubs with twin towers. They put KD at the 4 and who guards him? Justin Patton?
Ehh, it's just his opinion. I agree with some of it. I think Bam sucks and he agrees with me. I enjoy when some of these draft guys have wildly dissenting opinions from the established norm. I think Tjarks is one of the 5 best NBA writers too.

just his opinion seems effed up.
ftr, i agree with some of it as well - for example, i too agree Fultz should be the top pick in the draft. similar to him, i think Jarrett Allen is worthy of #11 overall. but yeah, overall his BIG BOARD/just his opinion seems effed up.
Disagree completely once again. In my head I think Josh Jackson is the 2nd best player overall, doesnt mean I think the Lakers are taking him over Ball.
He really values the modern NBA archetypes.

Yep. Kid is long and quick.
Oh, **** out of here. You can't be that stupid.
