People can vote based on whatever criteria they want.
 
I don't think it got very far, but there were plans last time to have voting for team of the future and other categories like that as well as the team most likely to win this year.

Based on the team as a whole, of course. Based on how good the players are, how well the players fit in with each other, how good the teams' identity is and how well the players fit that identity, etc.

Posters get to explain to their peers why they feel their team is the best. They get to state their case, and a poll is formed.

I believe the last full GM Draft I did (from start till end), There was first 2 polls: Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Players vote in the teams that get into the "playoffs" - as in, they vote for who they feel are the top 8 teams in each conference. Then, match-ups are formed, similar to the real playoffs. Everyone gets to vote who they feel is better between to teams in a match-up, and whichever team wins gets to go onto the next round, up against another team that won.

Eventually, it's down to two teams, and whichever team wins that match-up, wins the draft.

In each poll you're involved in, you're able to state your case as to why your team is better.

That would be pretty cool. Best starters, best bench, best defensive team, best offensive team...any other categories?
 
BEST GM!?!?!
 
About the voting, just my suggestion, lets not do it.

It always takes a turn for the ugly.
 
YA IT REALLY IS... i have thursday
this is worst than MLB draft of 2 weeks

He could probably defend some centers with ease like Ben Wallace, Marcus Camby, Dirk (when playing center), Biedrins, etc. But obviously he would have a hard time stopping Yao, Shaq in the 1st half, or Dwight.

The last draft had 6 hour limits, and went from August 9th to September 29th. About a month, 20 days...should take up a good chunk of time during the off-season, which is good IMO.
 
It's been like this for the past 3 years and it's worked each time. And I don't think we ever had anywhere near this much complaining about the time.

</div>

I meant a month AND 20 days. As in, about 50 days...
 
Wouldn't any center outside of Jason Collins have trouble guarding D-Ho, Yao and young Shaq?
The point is that people always say things like "SF are a dime a dozen, but you can't get a dominant big man". Well, LeBron is even harder to get than that.

Is this like the real NBA? Is the most incompetent GM constantly speed dialing Stern complaining about the job he's doing?

That really does make you appreciate how good Collins was/is. I remember the set-shot Willy days. Good times.
 
For the record, I'm well aware of who I selected Deron Williams over, and yes, I know what I'm doing.

Good pick real i was really close 2 picking deron but i picked melo, idk i might b kicking myself for that later.
 
What are you talking about? Deron went too low.
 
IMO Deron went just right, maybe 2 or 3 picks lower than he should've been picked (as in, 2 or 3 not as good picks before him)
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti @ Jul 27 2008, 04:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>What are you talking about? Deron went too low.</div>
idk i dont think so, there aren't much players that you can say deron isnt better than in the draft right now.
 
well anyways was my player picked at the right time u think“

I can't think of any other PG I would have selected over Williams. Chris Paul is the only guy I had ahead of Deron on my board.

Of course, you might not be talking solely about PG's.
 
DWill was 10th on my list of BPA tbh. I thought for a second he might actually fall to me.
 
See, the draft is starting to move at a pretty good clip now.
