Welcome to the 2023 Jazzfanz annual vintage nba draft.

[gandalfe]

Just reading up on Bill Walton. He didn't lose a game between the middle of his Jr year in HS thru the middle of his Sr year in college, when UCLA lost by a single point in a game he played while wearing a back brace. Why was he wearing a back brace? BECAUSE HIS SPINE WAS BROKEN!

What an absolute badass.

We're not doing any sort of simulation, are we?

I mean we could, but the last couple times we asked the fresh Prince to do it he just didn’t have time. Unless anyone here wants to do it?

Sorry guys, had a busy night and it slipped my mind. Only doing a little work today will have matches out probably by 2pm utah time at the latest I think

I'll laugh if y'all finish this thing before the other draft competition finishes

@Jason @infection can one of you pin the three draft polls?

All second round matches are up.

You messed it up. You have the same team in both semi-finals, the team with Shaq.

 

[gandalfe]

Interesting how 2 of the matchups got screwed up, and both of them were mine. If I was slightly more paranoid...

Ya, sorry. The last one I was rushing to do it during a break at work because I forgot to set the votes the night before

 

[gandalfe]

So, no finals matchup?

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

It’s up

 

[gandalfe]

Here's an idea for next year: A vintage or all-time draft, but we remove basically those who would go in the first round. So, if it's 16 teams, we remove the top 16 players (based maybe on basketballbraference or something). That prevents the way that MJ is ALWAYS in the finals. He's a cheat code in the thing.

Or just eliminate Jordan would be easier
