You're all good bro. It's nice sometimes not having skin in the game.
5th Annual College Basketball Draft
- Thread starter dukedevilz
- Start date
Whatever hope the rest of you had that I wasn't playing, flush it down the drain. The raping will continue.
Haha you're awfully eager to take Timme off the board, huh? Well, we all know that will happen. But, we haven't even finalized the draft order. The clock officially starts on Monday.
Sounds good to me. This probably confirms that I’ll finish last and you’ll win the league
It was a toss up between him and CJ Frederick
That works.
So, the order of 6 posters appears to be confirmed.

-duckboy33 and WeAreDePaul will battle for 9th
To our three newcomers to the league, @duckboy33 @FaithPlusOne @Noahtogo24, just be aware that the postseason awards are not part of a tiered scoring system. For example, if someone was the National Player of the Year (10 pts), Final Four MOP (6 points), Conference Player of the Year (5 points), and the Conference DPOY (4 points), they wouldn't receive 25 points. They would only receive points for the highest award, so they'd receive 10 points for NPOY in this instance. I feel like including multiple postseason awards would unnecessarily inflate the scores. Would be a HUGE advantage for those players that win multiple awards.
I love the scoring of Win Shares + Postseason Accolades. It's roughly a 50-50 split. Anthony Davis had 9.93 Win Shares in 2012. He was also the NPOY, and he would have received 10 points for that. There have been a few players prior to 2010 that exceeded 10 Win Shares in a season. All-Americans are typically in the 6-8 Win Share range. While their postseason awards are 9 for 1st Team, 8 for 2nd Team, and 7 points for 3rd Team. Not perfect, of course, but it's a great way of catching both sides of a player's impact, advanced stats + perception of the best players, as seen by the actual voters. Win Shares also aren't perfect, but they do a relatively good job at measuring a player's impact on the team.

Nah. Corrected that two seasons ago, I believe. First team includes CPOY and the next 4 highest in Win Shares, among the remaining 9 1st Teamers. The bottom 5 in Win Shares from the 1st team will comprise the 2nd Team. And 2nd Team All Pac 12 actually only includes 5 players, so they all fit in perfectly for the 3rd Team.
I think I briefly mentioned that in my original post. But yeah, no freebie 1st Teamers for scoring purposes.
Oh ok my bad. Well I’m glad I revealed that and know this now. Part of my strategy was to overly draft PAC 12 players to get those bonus points.
Feel free to overly draft them anyway.
Looks like I forgot to post how the scoring was finalized for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Teams for the Pac-12 and SEC. But, I spoke about it a little before the season ended. Timmy Allen was someone who was on the actual 1st Team, but for scoring purposes, he was on the 2nd Team. I spoke about Remy Martin most likely being a 2nd Teamer on my scoring. He ended up on the HM All-American team, so I actually gave bad advice. Thought he was bound for the 2nd Team.
Here are the sudden death matches. The draft generator has to have at least 8 teams, that's why there's so many blanks.

Thanks for setting this up @dukedevilz
Just don't steal my guys! There are a couple of Pac-12 guys I'm really hoping to snag in the middle of the draft.
Damnit, I was hoping Timme would be there at 11.
I’d typically avoid drafting from the same team immediately after pick one, but I can’t not.
Chet Holmgren.
@Noahtogo24 you’re up
Chet Holmgren.
@Noahtogo24 you’re up
Can't blame you. Zags had 3 All-Americans last year. No reason to believe Timme and Chet won't both be AA this year. And Chet's ceiling is ridiculously high.
I'm going to the dark-side as a MD fan- give me Paolo Banchero please.
@MCG_07 you are on the clock...
@MCG_07 you are on the clock...
@dukedevilz could you copy and paste the order of the draft onto the first post of the thread. It would make finding the order much easier going forward if anyone forgets.
right before the Illini guy posts. Harsh.
He's probably going to get revenge in the 18th round when it's time to start taking Michigan State players
I have no sympathy. He’s at least on your actual team. I have to watch Joey Hauser be a little pussy out there all season.
@dukedevilz isnt GE Nole out of town? Are you going to be drafting for him?
@GE Nole is out of the country. I haven't received any list from him (anyone can feel free to send me a private message, or email me at dukedevilz@yahoo.com if you'd like to send a list to me). So, I'll go ahead an select for him.
Hunter Dickinson, Michigan
@hailtoyourvictor is on the clock.
That was a pretty obvious pick, right? I mean, Dickinson was a 2nd Team All-American. No way should anyone have expectations of him ever sliding to #7.

Apparently we aren’t letting any of these guys draft the players from their school.
Someone needs to take Trevion Williams before @boilerzz picks too.
What's interesting is, because of where they fall alphabetically, those two have always drafted back-to-back. Granted this is probably the pick that hurts the most, but I'm guessing it's not the first time that a highly sought-after player has been stolen.
lol it's crazy how that has worked.
I'm not so certain Trevion Williams will be the first Purdue player taken, though. You'd think between Ivey and Williams, at least one of them should be available at #11.
