Did that affect any particular player to an extreme degree though?

“I think your team is really good, I think they would win with 2017 LeBron but not 2014 LeBron so I’m picking the other team.” Does that happen? It’s not like we’re picking their lowest and best years any year someone chooses will be some version of a ‘prime’ year. LeBron has more versions of himself as a player in his prime than probably anyone. But for this exercise I’ll still just be thinking, “yep, LeBron” which exact year specifically won’t really enter my head or affect my choice.




Aren’t you arguing against the point. We don’t have to think of a totality of a career when we are just picking a single year, right? I’m kind of more confused than ever now. Both Duncan and Russell have also both been picked already and had a year specified even though it seems even less relevant for those players since they were so consistent.

Mostly applies to players between the 80’s and 00’s. Some of those differences are massive and spacing matters.

Also, “peak” or “prime” is subjective. Is the MJ that dunked on everyone and scored 36 points a game or whatever better than the 90’s one?

People can choose whether or not they care, but I care. I think it has massive ramifications on fit. Thee doesn’t need to hammer people about it at this stage of the thing because choosing the year takes precious time that gets everyone real upset. I don’t see what’s wrong with figuring that out later (but prior to competition).

I’m with you I don’t think it matters all that much. There is a couple of guys where it might but not really unless you egregiously chose the wrong year.

Rules are that the top 5 picks can't be traded.

Doublechecked. It's actually that they can't be traded once they're picked. So, in theory, you can trade when it's still just a number.

Top five picks can be traded once you make a top 5 round pick the actual player is locked, but you can trade a pick in rounds 1-5.
