I’ve read every post of the last week.
Noblefacehumper explained it fine and soothing.
However i feel like “the good process is this” And also “The rankings should be that way to be taken seriously and to be considered correct”
And “if you don’t have a better method than this shut up” create the feeling of fundamentalism.

then i think you’re misinterpeting me… it was never based on my ranking to indicate bad process … but you already responded to me in the thread where i explained it and other posters explained it also so i don’t know why you want to bring it up again…

In fantasy Basketball’s draft there are projections of the places(numbers) of where each player is taken based on general perception and managers’ majority’s moves.
For example Freak,KD,Harden, Steph, AD, Lebron, Kawhi are usually taken among the first ten drafts(unless year ending injury). Rookies are usually taken much later since they are not proven yet.
Let’s say that Luka was projected to be taken in number 70 before he joined nba.
A manager grabbed him much earlier cause he wanted him badly on his team or had the “feeling” that he would be special.
Does this sound like a bad process?
Same with others non rookie players that are projected to go later in the draft but due to special circumstances or inability of managers’majority’s to rank them correctly they are also being grabbed much earlier from others more “visionary” managers.

I like doing the wins thread the day of the first game, so expect it Wednesday!

For the options, i think this range covers what people will say (and this way the lurkers can participate):
– Above 27
– 27
– 26
– 25
– 24
– 23
– 22
– 21
– Below 21

Thanks for detailing, man. For me, it’s a very intriguing subject, this new form of dictatorship where you’re also a capitalist economy, and how can they balance those two so different approaches. Well, at least in the past they were mutually exclusive.

I really think that A more humorous and less Defending approach on your fine hobby of ranking every year’s draft prospects would do miracles.

i’m pretty sure i’ve predated you and i’ve never had a problem with it in the 6+ years i’ve posted here and about the draft specifically…. i’ve only had a specific problem with bob.. who kept maga trolling… ted nelson who was a troll in general… bron.. who was a P&tT lurker troll… and z… who was trolling me in a conversation he wasn’t even in involved in and obviously wanted to pick a fight… i think i’m doing ok if these are the type of ppl who have a problem with me…

And also when you say that even if IQ turns out fine the process would still be bad don’t you feel that something’s “rotten” in the process and needs adjustments to justify/prognosticate the results better?

for the sake of everyone i’m not going to answer… it’s been covered…i’m sorry… if you’re really curious you can search the many posts on this topic in the last week…. i have given a good explanation as well as some other posters….

Anyways, we’ll have a whole new 48 minute sample to argue over soon.

that should tell you folks about why you guys are so bothered by what i’m saying….#

Hubert:
Here’s the thing with Quickley… yes it’s 63 preseason minutes, but let’s be honest: 63 good preseason minutes ranks pretty high on the list of achievements we’ve had from Knicks draftees this decade.

I mean, the list has to be:

1. Mitchell Robinson
2. November Porzingis
3. Quickley’s 63 preseason minutes
4. Knox’s first summer league

everything else we’ve seen from everyone we’ve drafted has pretty much been shit.

Was Landry Fields’s rookie year this decade? That was pretty good. I’d probably shove it between November Porzingis and Quickley’s preseason.
