    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    And one of the worst current sports organizations on Earth- but RJ is playing okay, getting experience and it is all bout that second contract.

    An appetizer before the Duke-MSU begins --- Wendell Carter Jr. given $15 to pick his all-time Duke team.

    Severe recency bias and does JJ dirty mid-selection...

    No love for Zion? He losses credibility in his picks with that omission. GoDuke!

    I'd go with

    Laettner $5
    Williams $4
    Brand $3
    Justise $2
    Singler $1

    Singler for $1 and Brand for $3 are absolute steals. Jason Williams at $4 is also a steal. Hard to not take Hill or Shane...

    Zion - $5
    JWill - $4
    Dawkins - $3 (crazy steal)
    Deng - $2
    Ferry - $1 (another crazy steal)

    I think people are forgetting just how great were Bobby Hurley, Shane Battier, JJ Redick, and Grant Hill.

    The game has a $15 "salary cap" - the 4 you mention cost $18 according to the chart and you would still have a spot to fill. It's just a fun game but requires trade-offs! That said, arguing about the assigned values could go on all day.

    The problem is that Hill and Redick were both $5 and Battier and Hurley were both $4. With only $15, you have to make very tough choices.

    That said, I would probably spend $5 on Grant Hill and then go from there. Sorry Zion.

    Wow. That would be a very interesting team.

    For reference sake, here's how B/R valued each player:

    $5 - Zion, Laettner, Kyrie, JJ, Grant
    $4 - Shane, RJ, Jayson, JWill, Hurley
    $3 - Elton, Carlos, BI, Marvin, Johnny D.
    $2 - Jabari, Justics, Luol, Jah, Nolan
    $1 - Grayson, Tyus, Rodney, Ferry, Singler

    Laettner, Shane, J-Will, Grayson and Singler.

    Beat me, I dare you.

  15. #935
    Grant $5
    JWill $4
    Elton $3
    Justise $2
    Ferry $1

    I win.

    I refuse to believe that Grayson, Singler, Battier, and Laettner together could ever lose a game because of the sheer willpower. J-Will is window dressing at that point. I could substitute Duhon and have leftover cash.

    Sidenote: Ferry for $1? That's the deal of the century.

    Am I allowed to just take the $2 line + the $1 line and run the rest of you into the dirt with my crazy depth?

    That's how I would spend $5 of my $15, too. Hill is the best at-his-peak player on this list and was on pace to be historically great.

    If the $ amounts roughly hew to perceived value add/skill, then Elton is a steal at $3. No way a couple of those other guys (RJ, Jayson, maybe even JJ) should be valued more highly than he is!

    So, I am guessing this is college career without any consideration of pro success, right?

    Kyrie does not belong on the same line with those other $5 guys.
    RJ and Jayson are not in the same zip code as two NPOYs and the career assist leader
    Elton and Johnny are both National Player of the Year winners... for $3 each!?!?
    Jah on the $2 line is a bargain... he was a 1st team All-American and strong NPOY contender. Nolan is the only other guy on that line who is even worth considering.
    Danny Ferry for $1 is a joke. He could arguably be on the $4 line and it would not be outrageous.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
