* NEW * 2019 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[gandalfe]

I would do this but my wife left an hour ago for Boston and I’m solo with three little ones.

So, just small shots for them?

Rather than a few more pages of everyone whining about it, how about I take over the voting threads/whatnot?

Is the front page updated?

Go for it. Or if you don't want to, I'll do it; I've done it before.

One of you just do it.

 

[gandalfe]

I'll do it.

I'm going to randomize the seeds alphabetically by last name of each person's 3rd pick. I'll work that out and post the matchups in a little bit. NOT redrawing after each round, just standard brackets. By 3rd pick, I am just going to go down the list on the front page, and the 3rd person who you have on your team is who I'm doing it by.

Writeups will be due Monday, 7/29/18, by, say, 20:00 Mountain time.That gives everyone 24 hours. I will post them some time tomorrow night, and leave them up for voting for 72 hours. Ties will be broken first by only counting the votes of the participants, then by an arcane measurement which I'll devise if I have to. Possibly involving chickens.

Any problems with this?

 

[Keefe]

Sounds good to me.

 

[gandalfe]

OK, the seeds are (and I'm including the player who I used for the alphabetirandomizing):

1 @Thee jazz fan - Carter, Vince
2 @tfivas - Drexler, Clyde
3 @White Chocolate - Ewing, Patrick
4 @NPC D4617 - George, Paul
5 @LogGrad98 - Gobert, Rudy
6 @Rgiss - Green, Draymond
7 @gandalfe - Harden, James
8 @LoPo - Havlicek, John
9 @UB - Kidd, Jason
10 @elan_prodigy - McGrady, Tracy
11 @Wes Mantooth - Miller, Reggie
12 @spycam1 - Mourning, Alonzo
13 @ONE LOVE - Payton, Gary
14 @addictionary - Walton, Bill
15 @Hornacekamania - West, Jerry
16 @Ellis269 - Worthy, James

 

[gandalfe]

Which makes the first round:

1 - Thee Jazz Fan vs Ellis269
2 - tfivas vs Hornacekamania
3 - White Chocolate vs addictionary
4 - NPC D4617 vs One Love
5 - LogGrad98 vs Spycam1
6 - rgiss vs Wes Mantooth

Now, who was it that did the simulations last year? I can do them if you'll just send me the site, if you want.

This is how we should do it. Voting is dumb.

 

[Keefe]

Let’s do simulations!

 

[gandalfe]

OK, I think I found the simulator - https://whatifsports.com/nba But, unfortunately, it's blocked at my work, and I would hate to try to do it on my phone, so simulations will have to wait until I'm at home.

It was @elan_prodigy that did the simulations.

 

[The Midnight]

So simulation means no voting?

Damn,... that's where I make my money...

Muahahahaha...

 

[silesian]

@silesian?

Wasn’t me, sorry

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Wasn’t me, sorry

Yes we established this when I said it was 100% @elan_prodigy that conducted the simulations.

No need to be rude. I’m not following this thread. I was just responding to the question directed to me.

It’s Thee. Take him with a grain of salt. Dude was born a dolt.

 

[UB]

If we're using this site for simulation that Gandalf posted, we need to establish some ground rules.

It appears you need to select 12 players per team in order to save a team and thus create matchups. Who will be the 2 additional players that get added to each of our rosters (since we only drafted 10 here)? If there's a way to save a team with only 10 players, then this commentary is irrelevant.

In addition, are we simulating only one time for each matchup? If this is meant to be an accurate guess of theorized matchups, repeated simulations will give a better chance that the results of the simulation are not due to error. Therefore, I submit each matchup be simulated 3 times, with the winner taking best of 3 matchups.

 

[silesian]

The difference between TJF and I in a nut shell lol

Thank goodness most people here are courteous and respectful.
