8th Annual College Basketball Draft

[dukedevilz]

Who's ready for another season?

@FaithPlusOne @WojoRising @boilerzz @MGC_07 @WeAreDePaul @duckboy33 @hailtoyourvictor @JimboBBN @GE Nole @Jaycg15 @lurkeraspect84 @imajericho @Necessary Roughness @lurkeraspect84 @IUfanBorden @BasketBallJunkie-UK @ThePhog08

Looking for 10-12 for the draft this year.

 

[WojoRising]

I’m in!

 

[WeAreDePaul]

In and I'll be sending everyone complimentary Israeli pagers so we can notify them when it is their turn to pick. just make sure to keep the pager on you at all times, preferably in a pocket near your junk.

 

[dukedevilz]

Time permitting, I would like to do 12 rounds. At some point during the latter end of the season (late February), we'll drop three players.

The scoring will be a combination of win shares + postseason accolades. Please let me know if you think any part of the scoring system needs to be reexamined.

Scoring system for postseason awards
10 points- National Player of the Year (AP for All-American Teams)
9 points- 1st Team All-American
8 points- 2nd Team All-American
7 points- 3rd Team All-American; NABC Defensive POY; Final Four MOP
6 points- Honorable Mention All-American; Conference POY (Power Conference); All Tournament Team
5 points- 1st Team All Conference; Conference Defensive POY; NCAA Regional MOP
4 points- 2nd Team All-Conference; All Regional Team
3 points- 3rd Team All-Conference; All-Conference Defense; Conference Tournament MOP
2 points- Honorable Mention All-Conference; All Tournament Team (Conference Tournament)
1 point- All Conference Teams for lower conferences

Players that aren't in a Power-6 Conference will have a lower point total for conference awards

Because there is one less power conference, I'd like to increase the value of 1st Team All-Conference selections. Only 25 of those guys across the country. Here's how I'd like to delineate the awards for all conference.

Conference with 4 schools in the top 50: full 5 points for 1st Team All-Conference
Conference with 4 schools in the top 100: 4 points for 1st Team All-Conference
Conference with 4 schools in the top 150: 3 points for 1st Team All Conference
All Other conferences: 2 points for 1st Team All Conference

2nd Team All-Conference would be 4 points for power conferences, 3 points for the next tier, 2 points for the next tier, and 1 point for conferences that don't have 4 teams in the top 150.

TL:dR = WeAreDePaul drafts last just like every other year

 

[boilerzz]

I'm in.

 

[WojoRising]

I’m down with whatever system, but if we’re taking volunteers I’ll volunteer for the last pick as long as we’re drafting snake

Sounds gay as all get out.

 

[dukedevilz]

It will be a snake draft, yes.

And that's fine. You can claim the last pick of the first round. I'll take the second last pick of the 1st Round. I had the #2 pick last year, so that should balance it out.

This coming from a fan of cocks?

I’m a proud COCK supporter.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

I volunteer to take the #1 pick.

How very Jewish of you.

For the next month my self worth will rest upon getting a “that’s who I was going to pick” from you in the even rounds

 

[dukedevilz]

I will try my best to be disappointed.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

it's the post we all crave and hope to see after we make a selection.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

check your pager, just sent you a message.

 

[JimboBBN]

Nobody should get to pick their spot. Randomize it like we always do. Let’s make some people angry

I don't have an issue with claiming the last picks. @WeAreDePaul isn't getting the first pick gifted to him, though. Those first few picks have high odds of being All-Americans... Picks 10-12 will be good players, but a far cry from being an All-American lock.

I will randomize the draft order for those wanting a top pick.

What if I want the last pick and I die on that hill to make @WojoRising mad?

Don't call it a gift, call it reparations for all the times I got screwed and had to pick at the end of the draft.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

I vote for Jimbo to get the last pick.

 

[dukedevilz]

You're going to have to blow me up some other way. I never fully embraced the 90's lifestyle.

Don't call it a gift, call it reparations for all the times I got screwed and had to pick at the end of the draft.

Sounds like a lot of people fighting over the last lol picks. You might actually get it by default.

I also remember you drafting Luka Garza one year.

What if I want the last pick and I die on that hill to make @WojoRising mad?

I can do a separate randomized generator between you and Wojo - and I can throw myself in there for good measure.

Voice your opinion now (anyone) if claiming one of the bottom spots bothers you. I'll give it some thought.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

In and I'll be sending everyone complimentary Israeli pagers so we can notify them when it is their turn to pick. just make sure to keep the pager on you at all times, preferably in a pocket near your junk.

It's time to blow Iran off the face of the Earth. Nobody (but us) is allowed to mess with our Jew brethren. I'm not a Jew but I feel like an honorary Jew being on this board.

 

[JimboBBN]

I want whatever spot Wojo wants. If it’s the last pick, that’s the one I want. If he wants 6, I want 6

 

[WeAreDePaul]

For those of you who don't have time to read the whole thread here is the one line summary:

FVCK @WojoRising !!

Any hot tips on DePaul’s best player? I can target them in the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th round.

 

[ThePhog08]

I am in

 

[Kevin Bryan]

**** you, you ****ing mother****ing Mormon-wannabe ****ing bitch troll

I didn't even realize there was such a thing as a Mormon-wannabe. But, if so, I think @lurkeraspect84 would be keen on the idea because he heard they like to take it in the butt prior to marriage, and he can relate to that.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I won't be participating this year.

Two posts in this thread? You are formally invited to join the draft cult.

What are the stakes? I will consider it if you need to fill out the league.

No money. Just for fun. Some years we've had the champ pic the avatar for the last place person for X number of months.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

I’m in and ready to embarrass myself again.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Like Kevin, I will play if you don't find enough people. I'll give the regulars a chance to hop in first though. I'd like to save all my basketball knowledge for the pick em contest.

 

[Necessary Roughness]

I'm in like Diddy in a well oiled hole.

 

[englandnu]

I would like to, but we have a four year-old, a two-year-old and my wife will be delivering our third child around April 1st. So…

 

[IUfanBorden]

Im in....

With firt pick, I select Zach Edey.
