All I gotta say is that was pretty badass- (the Kobe game)

i really think it's a matter of usage. is Brandon better overall? in some regards, sure.

what i'm saying is that 27 is a lot. if you need 27, take Brandon. if you don't want 27, take Harper.

for example, Brandon would not fit into the team i have now over, say, Harden. Harper, however, would fit nicely in that slot.

We pretty much agree to an extent.. But when comparing Brandon & Harper to Harden- Brandon is a much closer player/comparison to Harden than Harper. From EFG, Usage, FT%, FTM (both are much lower than Harden, but Brandon makes a lot more than Harper), 3pt%, Dreb%.. When comparing the 3 based on those stats- Harden & Brandon are the closest 2.. So I don't understand that part of your point at all.. And I agree. It's all about fit.. I drafted Brandon in the last DH league., Mainly bc he was the best PG left, but I also thought I was going to need the usage. Mel Daniels ended up in my lap in the 6th and long story short- I no longer needed the usage.. I still won my division and Brandon performed very well.. I lot of my experience in the SIM is in Hoosiers banned leagues.. In those leagues, I typically did well with Brandon- bc that allowed me to draft lower usage high CREB high EFG guys in the front court.. Again.. you have valid points and we only disagree slightly. Sometimes I get taken as being a jerk or argumentative, and I'm not trying to be that way. LOL!

who cares. everything's all about fit. no offense taken, but i do love a good discussion.

carry on like Kansas

did Kobe just score 60. are you serious. seriously.

He also set an NBA record for FGA in a game. 2nd in 3PA in a game. Still impressive send off.

My team sucks.

PG:

Avery Johnson 15.9 USG 50.2 eFG% 33.2 Ast% @ 26 MPG
Muggsy Bogues 13.6 USG 40.5 Ast% @ 22 MPG

SF:

Shawn Marion 19.5 USG 56.1 eFG% 27.7 Creb% @ 37 MPG
Ed Davis 18.0 USG 53.4 eFG% 30.1 Creb% @ 11 MPG

PF:

Hakeem Olajuwon 28.8 USG 52.5 eFG% 34.8 Creb% 11 Ast% @ 40 MPG
Chris Kaman 26.8 USG 50.9 eFG% 31.5 Creb% 9.9 Ast% @ 8 MPG

C:

Wilt Chamberlain 26.5 USG 54 eFG% 43.0 Creb% 11.7 Ast%

Looking at the 15-16 rosters, I'm really interested to see what the next draft looks like...

Definitely going to impact the 2nd and 3rd rounds. 1st round probably won't change much except for Steph moving up into the top 5 I'm guessing.

Kawhi Leonard will go high.

Draymond, Steph obviously. Lots of guys are high usage, high turnovers and not good at multiple things.

Drummond is going to go super high.

Does this count as mentioning undrafted players? Albeit for a draft 3 months away. Prob best to let it play out.
