    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti @ Jul 27 2008, 12:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Luke, LeBron isn't a "SF". He's a freak superstar who can play all five positions. Right now he's mostly a PG, but when he fills out I can see him finishing as a PF. In any event, the dropoff between him and everyone is enough to justify picking him first.</div>
    I wouldn't say Center, but we could dominate the other 4 positions.

    Why couldn't LeBron play center? He's one of the strongest players in the league. I don't think his post defense would be All-Star quality, but he could hold his own if he had to.

    I don't think he's be able to utilize all of his skills at center, like he would at the other 4 positions. Then again, he would blow by every other center in the league.

    No games played, no scoring. There's a vote among peers to judge whose team is the best.

    I don't think it got very far, but there were plans last time to have voting for team of the future and other categories like that as well as the team most likely to win this year.

    Based on the team as a whole, of course. Based on how good the players are, how well the players fit in with each other, how good the teams' identity is and how well the players fit that identity, etc.

    Posters get to explain to their peers why they feel their team is the best. They get to state their case, and a poll is formed.

    I believe the last full GM Draft I did (from start till end), There was first 2 polls: Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Players vote in the teams that get into the "playoffs" - as in, they vote for who they feel are the top 8 teams in each conference. Then, match-ups are formed, similar to the real playoffs. Everyone gets to vote who they feel is better between to teams in a match-up, and whichever team wins gets to go onto the next round, up against another team that won.

    Eventually, it's down to two teams, and whichever team wins that match-up, wins the draft.

    In each poll you're involved in, you're able to state your case as to why your team is better.

    That would be pretty cool. Best starters, best bench, best defensive team, best offensive team...any other categories?

    About the voting, just my suggestion, lets not do it.

    It always takes a turn for the ugly.
