* NEW * 2019 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[spycam1]

Simulations can be fun for ***** and giggles, but it shouldn't be the way the winner is determined. It's always been voting and people made their teams with that in mind.

Which is what I said.

Do we put out the simulation's results BEFORE or AFTER the voting finishes?

If it's posted BEFORE voting, won't it change the way voters vote?

And is that a good or a bad thing?

If it does sway voters in 1 direction, then what's the point of voting?

(just having fun with this.. it's a long offseason .. haha)

The difference between TJF and I in a nut shell lol

What? I didn’t even call him an idiot. I agreed with him.

We did them before voting last year.

Post lineups. Do a 5 game simulation. Vote.

 

[LogGrad98]

The simulation could be the tie breaker.

 

[The Midnight]

I dunno about you guys but I'm VERY excited about knowing the simulation results for my team!!!

I went all in on Karl Malone as the ultimate “Death Lineup” Wildcard. Imagine Karl Malone in Draymond Green’s role for the Warriors in the Hampton 5 Lineup. That was what I built my team around.

1 - Kyle Lowry / John Wall
2 - Jimmy Butler / Marques Johnson
3 - James Worthy / Glenn Robinson
4 - Kevin Durant / Bobby Jones
5 - Karl Malone / Nate Thurmond

My “Fab Four” - Butler, Worthy, KD and Malone all play 40 minutes each. Lowry, Wall and Thurmond play 16 minutes as a “traditional” PG and C (respectively) with Marques Johnson playing 11 minutes as a backup 2, Robinson playing 11 minutes as a backup 3 and Bobby Jones splitting his time as a backup 4/5 as needed.

Butler also gets some minutes as the primary ball handler (like he did in the most recent playoffs) so I can have a lineup of all 5 players between 6’7” and 6’11” and switchable as hell on defense.

OK, I played with the simulator a bit.

I can't pick the same person to ride the bench for both teams. @elan_prodigy, do you know how you dealt with this previously?

EDIT: Never mind, my random team was trying to start the same person in 2 positions, which was weird, but whatever.

Please PM me your writeup, so I don't have to sort through the thread to find it later.
