Summer (Hoops withdrawl) Contest

I'm thinking total Gator career (not NBA). You pick the player for their "Gatorness." DFS is an interesting case, since his production was greater during the two subsequent yrs after the FF run. Should the judges eval DFS based upon his 8.7 and 6.7 per game during 13-14, or for his senior year output? I thought hard about extending the # of players for folks like Bonner, who was a GREAT Gator. In the end, though, how many people are going to pick Bonner in their 8-deep?

 

I know you said that you are out of the contest. Would you be willing to serve as a judge?

 

I'm thinking about a tourney-style contest with head-to-heads. It won't be a perfect contest by any means, but if it helps overcome the summertime blues, why not? So . . . . who's in for picking teams and who's in for serving as a judge? Fyi - I'm thinking three judges, whose scores would be averaged.

 

One pooling of players and some preliminary thoughts about rules:

Guards.........................Forwards........................Centers
Dan Cross(94)................Andrew DeClerq*(94).........Dametri Hill*(94)
Craig Brown*(94)............Jason Anderson*(94).........Donnell Harvey(00)
Kenyan Weaks*(00).........Brian Thompson*(94)........Udonis Haslem(00)
Teddy Dupay(00).............Mike Miller(00)..................Joakim Noah(06-07)
Taurean Green(06-07).....Brent Wright*(00)..............Cliff Richards*(06-07)
Lee Humphrey(06-07).....Corey Brewer(06-07)..........Patric Young(14)
Scottie Wilbekin(14)........Al Horford(06-07)..............Rueben Chinyelu*(25)
Michael Frazier*(14)........Casey Prather*(14)
Walter Hodge*(06-07).....Dorian Finney-Smith(14)
Walter Clayton Jr (25).....Will Yeguete*(14)
Alijah Martin(25).............Alex Condon(25)
Will Richard(25)..............Thomas Haugh(25)

Proposed Rules (please share suggestions):

• Pick 8 total players: 5 starters and 3 bench
• Pick 2G/2F/1C starters
• Pick 3 bench players - 1 Center and 2 others from any position
• May not pick more than one of Noah/Horford/Brewer
• Must have one player from every FF group (94/00/06-07/14/25) on the 8-man roster
• Must have one (*) player on the roster.
• May not combine WCJ with Taurean Green, Mike Miller with Corey Brewer, or Udonis Haslem with Joakim Noah.

 

Calling on @GatorJason for ideas about how to do head-to-head scoring. My first thought is to combo judges' player-rating scores with some kind of head-to-head assessment. Any thoughts?

 

This is a board of mostly old farts. Sure we remember them. They both played when I was in Gville for undergrad. This contest, though, would be about players on the FF teams. You in?

 

It would be complicated, but perhaps this should be a draft with 8ish participants, i.e. an Elite 8. That would call for only five players/team and I'd have to add some players to the mix. There are already suggestions for Vernon Maxwell, Stacey Poole, Livingston Chatman, Matt Bonner, & Neal Walk. Otherwise, I stick w the FF teams and go deeper.

IOW - each team would consist of exclusive players; no overlap. To me that would be more intriguing in terms of matchups, but would be difficult to do a draft. Maybe just have four teams? There's not really a clamoring to participate, so maybe limit it to four.

 

Anybody interested in selecting a team? I'm thinking about taking up to eight.
