Ya. This has been an odd draft. Bernard King and Cousy this late?
Last year I pretty much did this and got destroyed. I was confused how I could get blasted like that, and the consensus was my players weren't established enough.In previous years with this thing the true best teams had a mix of old and new, since really that is the best mix. I would take many of the older players over the newer, and I think the talent level and results hold out. The problem is the voters go "no wait, I watched Dwight Howard dunk with a superman cape. Bill Russell is always in black and white. Howard is obviously better, duh." or "you know I heard they exaggerated everything back then. I heard Wilt was really only 6'6" and they just said 7'2", obviously the players today are so much bigger and stronger there is no way Wilt can be better than today's center, he would get destroyed." and then vote wrong. So this year I think many of us are trying to assemble teams that can be voted to win, not necessarily the strongest teams possible.
And there is the fun factor which is why I went for a blockbuster trade. Just to spice it up a bit.

^^ Under-selling D-Will. At one point, which is what is relevant to this draft, he was the best PG in a PG-heavy league. He was better than Paul, who was picked in 3rd round.
Steal of the draft.
I just noticed this discrediting of my dude. That's mad disrespect to CP3... Deron's best is not close to Paul's best. Paul's 08-09 is one of the best PG seasons ever.
I don't think it's disrespect AT ALL. There was a national discussion on which of the two was the league's best PG. It's not just me. Most gave Paul a slight edge, but many considered Deron the best. There is nothing wrong with where you picked CP3, but it just goes to show you how short the average fan's memory is.
