yes.. i remember the discussion quite well.. currently the best idea I have is to have users weight the various skills themselves and then rank players with regards to a sort of dot product of those weights with the real players skill.

if you don't know linear algerbra basically i mean a custom ranking that reduces the all the ratings of prospects down to one custom rating that is a weighted average over all the ratings.. and you get to choose those weights. So this way you can decide what sort of player you want to be ranked high, but don't get enough information to uniquely identify them.

This would also have the advantage as to map quite well onto a lot of the framework for the draft.

if you have a 6'1 guy with respectable inside shot, and a 7'1 inch guy with respectable inside shot.. what you've got is jason kidd and george meurson or shawn bradley


did you just imply shawn bradley has / had "respectable" level skill in something?? hahahahaha. the only thing he was proficient in was in somehow convincing Don Nelson he was worth putting on the floor. lol

He made for some great photo ops.

Thanks everyone for the diatribe. I learned a lot and I'm glad to see that the draft is being tinkered with. That was the one and only part of BB that I haven't been very pleased with. Everything else is great including the developers listening to suggestions.

I couldn't agree more.
