2022 Annual Jazzfanz All Time NBA Draft

@Thee Idiotic Minivan K can you please update the first page?

I think that is certainly a great role for the sim. Are you suggesting that after seeding, then head-to-head competition is strictly voting, or voting + sim (maybe running a sim if one team doesn't have, say, a 60% majority of votes as a "tie-breaker"?)?

And then which sim(s) are we using?

I just did but forgot to save it. Give me a minute. This took me like 15 min before. My hell I’m an idiot, I’m bringing you idiots down with me. Domino knows the drill

This needs to be in one of the OPs, whatever it is that we're doing. Fundamentally changes how one should approach team building.

Which sim? Do they take season into account? It has to be compatible with the structure of the competition.

I was running a 2k sim. Everything will run smooth. You get to provide minute distribution, lineups, etc.

Voting holds biased opinion. A lot of people on JF don't like volume shooters like TMac, AI, Pierce, Westbrook. A sim will give a more accurate determination.

How about this:
-Sim determines seeding (who was it that was suggesting something besides 2k?)
-head-to-head competition is determined by vote if a team can win 60% or more of the votes

-if neither team collects a 60% majority, then it is determined by sim​

I'm not sure it's more accurate. I think qualitative analysis is incredibly important in these things. Quantitative analysis would tell you that the 2004, 2012, and 2022 Lakers would've all been top-5 teams all-time (instead of some of the most disappointing teams of all time).

Both quantitative and qualitative analysis can be gamed in different ways. Finding a way to do both probably brings out the best of both and mitigates the worst of both.

Does the 2k sim do specific seasons for players selected?

I like sims over a popularity vote

Yeah in votes you could have an amazing player that people don’t like and you lose because of that

I'm running a full season. It won't take long. I could sim a full season in 10 minutes or less if I wanted to. I can also run 3-5 year franchise-like simulation.

I plan on making the sim thread after the draft so people can provide lineups and minute distribution.

I want everyone to get the most out of their team. I don't really want to make this a one and done thing, especially with the time invested.

Basically it has the prime version of a classic player available, but there's also classic teams for specific players. Like the 97-98 Jazz, 95 Bulls.

@NUMBERICA and @Elizah Huge have agreed to a trade that involves swapping draft picks, sources tell ESPN.

But 2k has every players tendencies and percentages that brings the realism to the game. They also carry advanced analytics. Per request, I'll provide full analytical data to somebody that wants to see stats on their team.

I'll also post the league leaders, all stars, awards. It will add a lot of fun to this draft, trust me. You'll get to see the full potential of your team, and how well they work together.

I like this:
-keeps the tradition of how we normally do this alive while
-giving an opportunity for less voter bias by giving some power to the sim if the vote isn't resoundingly clear
