And it also really puts into perspective those gaudy stats from the "bent-over-dribble-with-dominant-hand-in-front-of-you" era.
That's a great description.
Ya Im kind of not sure how we should build these teams: Using just stats and the wahtif database? Or how feel our team will actually perform together on the floor?
Plus some of these guys that put up numbers in the 50's would get crushed by the role players of today.
I think it's really whatever you want, it's not like the whatif simulator really settles anything. In the first 3 rounds I picked guys that were both statistically dominant and that I was happy with in a "real life" sense, but after that I couldn't pick some of the guys that it was recommending. But if someone wants to build their teams off of pure stats, that's cool too.
