2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

I dunno though, he was good but for a very brief period of time, maybe just a handful of games? Not sure everyone took note of that last season.


Sometimes it's also what people remember last about a player. For example, a PG who has had a pretty good career for an East coast team is never gonna get picked in this thing cos he had a very unfavourable stint with the Jazz.

But Embiid never underperformed whenever he could play. I don't think it is a good anology to give a PG example that has one good season. This is like saying Joel sucks normally but played well just last season.


Let me put it this way: Anyone who votes on a team considering injury history instead of talent/winning potential does not know what All Time Draft is about and is voting out of context.

It depends what the definition is when voting. If you say 'pick the player's best YEAR', then strictly speaking you've gotta take the performance of that whole year, correct? How he played, how he scored, how he rebounded, his consistent plays averaged out for that year, etc, ... but don't you also have to take his 'durability' during that year into account?


Like Embiid played 38 games last season, that's 46% of the possible 82 games. If we're gonna say he's playing a 7 game series as part of this competition - shouldn't we also 'project' that he'll only play 46% of the games in that series, i.e., 3.24 games out of the possible 7 games?


I mean we're not going by the player's best 'month' or best 'day', are we? Or even best 'game'? If you're gonna take a player's best day/game then Devon Booker would go top 10 cos he scored 70 points in a game last year. And how many players has ever scored 70 points in the history of the NBA?

1. Don't mention players undrafted.

2. You are simply talking in your head on this. Have you ever heard of something called Eye-test? How about watching the player instead of checking the stats? Watching enough to know that he can dominate the other team?

My eye test says he gets hurt every 1-2 games.
