This is when my lack of NBA knowledge comes to hurt me. Think I know 2 of these names.

Re: 2016 Draft Watch
The great thing about this league is that you dont need to have knowledge of current players. Their notes are more valuable than their real life abilities.FlDuckFan wrote:This is when my lack of NBA knowledge comes to hurt me. Think I know 2 of these names.
When I started, I had minimal knowledge of players in the late 80's, early 90's.

Re: 2016 Draft Watch
I get that, it's just fun to have players you know. In fact it was the exact opposite with me I remember all the players from late 80's early 90's.Oregon Ownage wrote:The great thing about this league is that you dont need to have knowledge of current players.

Re: 2016 Draft Watch
Yeah, I hear ya. It's nice to recognize names. But you know what's fun, as we get further into future drafts, you'll start hearing these names pop up in the NBA and in college basketball in the next few years. I still remember when guys like Theo Pinson and Nigel Williams Goss were like top picks in sim leagues I ran like 10 years ago lol.FlDuckFan wrote:I get that, it's just fun to have players you know.

Re: 2016 Draft Watch
I loved watching Domantas' progress, he went straight to the Lith nat team and I'm really hoping he gets his shot on the Thunder.

Re: 2016 Draft Watch
There is enough on youtube you can get a feel for some of the guys not to say they will be exact replicas. On the flip side in real life I worked with all these kids outside of Sabonis, Valentine, and Herzonja.FlDuckFan wrote:This is when my lack of NBA knowledge comes to hurt me.

Perhaps I can do a mock draft article.
