    Beaubois wasn't healthy. We can make reasonable assumptions for next season.

    "The Mavericks potential star was reportedly not 100% fit when he returned to action after his first surgery. This was evident by the lack of vigour in his step and also his inability to attack the basket with his flashy movement."

    "This time, Beaubois is getting ample time to rest and recover for next season. With the ongoing lockout, Rodrigue is expected to have enough time on his hands to make a full and proper recovery."

    You still can't assume that he'd be a 40% 3pt shooter. Aaron Brooks was a 40% 3pt shooter his MIP year. And after he recovered from his ankle injury the following season, he shot poorly.

    Jmc was a top 5 team and he's on the verge of elimination? I was upset about having 19 votes against me to dharock 10 but 50 votes agains jmc, ridiculous

    Let's face it, the voters just look at the players' names, and just pick a team without going into in-depth analysis. Even though BleedRocketsRed wasn't really mentioned as a top tier team, he has barely any votes against him because he has strong name recognition with Wall-James-Williams

    this is what ive been thinking since the start. Guys such as Wekko, Jmc, and Hippos who we can tell put a lot of thought into drafting their team were for the most part wasting their time. People are just going to take 15 seconds for each poll and vote for the team with howard, kobe or any of the other top superstars.

    Maybe all this is just lax voting because its not teams against each other just who's the worst. When we are against each other maybe they can analyze. And public polls so voters will get to explain.

    that is pretty much where it's at. Ubig has the names to compensate their stats, but is in a group with too many well known players.

    You'll make it. It'll just be a lot tighter than it needs to be. And bleedrocketsred shouldn't be winning. Derrick williams isn't a pf that should be able to play yet start.

    now what im thinking is that for the next round, we ditch the whole poll idea. Everyone who votes will post who they pick as the worst team and give an explanation as to why that is their pick. no more of these random thoughtless votes. BIG MAN COMING THROUGH

    By now I'm welcomed to the fact I won't be pulling through to the next round (given some miraculous voter research). But if I wasn't on here doing this I'd be even more bored with free time on my hand.

    VBG. I considered taking him, too, but I liked Prince better since he has some offensive skill.

    I think we all had the same idea that it's a good idea to have defensive 3's with long arms.
