THE $52 Million Draft LXIX Commentary/Complaints Topic

If your defensive rating is a 21, can you really be 100% at 3 positions? Feel like players under 40 or maybe 35 should be maxed at 1 position. If you can't really guard at the 2, chances are your worse at the 1 and 3.

some underwhelming evals on the NBA JAM page through RD3.
Still working through the NBA JAM rosters, but some are posted.

I am interested to see how this goes. Been drafting my teams around a certain theme and so far it has yielded good results, at least the last two seasons it has. Let's see how this iteration pans out

I really like 77 Kareem for reasons I won't share because they're contrarian, but I might also switch back to 71. Depends on the 6th round

A whopping 16 players drafted in the first 5 rounds last season are still on the board. Three or four of them were reaches, arguably, but still...methinks some of the 19-20 players are being overvalued. We'll see. I'm wrong quite often.

I see you guys are halfway through the final round. It looks like my dad had a “mini-stroke” this morning. He fell and has some memory loss. He is only 57 so we are trying to figure out what is going on now.

I’ll finish my nba jam rosters and evals before you get started.
10/15/2020 4:17 PM
Take all the time you need, that’s more important than evals. Hoping for the best.

Damn, jh. My wife had a stroke at 26. It's not easy, but she had a full recovery. Hoping for the same for your dad.

Screw the evals, be with your family man. Besides your analysis of my team so far is way more positive than I expected so I'd rather just leave what you have so far in place.
10/15/2020 4:55 PM
Seriously, jh, don’t worry about this. Wishing your father good health. My mom had a TIA a few years ago. Thankfully she hasn’t had to deal with that since, but I was absolutely frightened so I know why you’re feeling
10/15/2020 5:04 PM
yeah dont sweat it, that's seriously ****** - take care of you and yours - be well - ben can wind up the evals
10/15/2020 5:05 PM
Take care of your father. Don't give the evals another thought.

OK here's what I'm working with so far:
Name Team Pos Usage% Def eFG% OReb% DReb% Ast% Stl% Blk%
Dwight Howard 10-11 Magic C 27.4 90 59.3 12.1 28.8 4.9 1.7 3.8
Nikola Jokic 18-19 Nuggets C 27.4 39 54.5 9.1 26.2 26.6 1.9 1.2
Ben Simmons 17-18 76ers PG 22.3 84 54.5 5.6 18.3 28.6 2.2 1.4
Wesley Person 97-98 Cavaliers SG 16.5 83 56.0 2.4 10.5 8.3 1.9 1.0
Brandon Rush 11-12 Warriors SG 15.4 76 60.7 2.1 13.6 6.6 0.9 2.0
OG Anunoby 19-20 Raptors SF 14.3 71 58.4 3.9 13.1 6.3 2.0 1.2
Joel Embiid 18-19 76ers C 33.3 80 51.7 7.7 32.0 12.6 0.9 3.0

I really liked the idea of pairing Simmons/Jokic with Dwight, because combined they basically cover assists by themselves, and Dwight can cover Jokic on D. Simmons' biggest weakness is no threes, and not only does Jokic chip in a few (though I'm not using his highest threes season) but his assists freed me up to go with pure 3-and-D bombers on the wing, which I then did with Person, Rush, and Anunoby. (There are so many options on the wing these days, as long as you don't need assists or boards from them.)

I'm not thrilled with Embiid. I don't need that much usage, and would have preferred better efg% and fewer turnovers. But I thought it was more important to get someone with credible D (for playing next to Jokic) and solid assists (so I don't fall off an ast% cliff when Jokic is out). No other high-usage big available seemed to fit the need quite so well, so I went ahead and grabbed him in the 4th. And I feel like that decision was justified given the high-efg% 3-and-D wings I was able to get later.

The net result: we have very good efg%, low fouls, and solid defensive boards. Offensive boards are very light when Dwight is out and turnovers are definitely too high. Defense isn't exceptional but is solid across the board other than Jokic. Seems pretty good, but then again I thought my last team was elite and it was a .500 team.
