I don't want the salary cap. That's just making it too complicated for me. The idea about taking a player from each coach was a good one. I can on board for that. Here's the coaches:

Rupp
Hall
Sutton
Smith
BCG
Calipari

Should we just combine Tubby and BCG since the latter was only her for two years? If we go this route that is............

[Joneslab]

Yeah, I think BCG should be combined. Because the only way you can come out with a decent player there is if you pick Miller or Patterson. So basically it'll just be whoever has those two picks, and everybody else will be left with dregs.

And I think the rule should be whether the player signed with that particular coach. Jodie Meeks would be a Tubby player even though he played for Gillispie. Derrick Miller, Pelphrey, Farmer, Woods, and Hanson would all be Eddie Sutton players.

I like this idea too, but could work with the salary cap if it isn't to complicated. For instance, any player who made First Team All American would have the highest salary, followed by 2nd & 3rd Team etc. All SEC who were not All American. May be too complicated.

How's this going to work when it's time to pick a winner? I'd hate to have the best overall team but lose because my BCG/Tubby player is the weakest of the litter.

It really isn't complicated. You'd have a set amount of "money" to spend, and each player would cost a certain amount. So, instead of just grabbing the best player available with each turn, it'd instead be about using your funds strategically and weighing the value of a player differently than if everyone were up for grabs without consequence.

Say, for example, you have the first pick in the draft. Do you go for Anthony Davis, given that he'd probably cost the most of any available player but is also the best available, or do you go for someone a little cheaper so that you can strike more of a balance across your roster?

If we do salaray cap....

Davis, Cousins, Wall, Towns, Mashburn are max players but where do current stars like Booker, perhaps Fox, Monk, and a few others stand. Is Sam Bowie what could of been a max player? What about Issell and Chapman? Antoine Walker?

I am all good for the salary cap and the coaching era combined as long as we rate the players accordingly. Problem is are we judging them by what they did at Kentucky or what they are doing or did after Kentucky? I love our one and dones and they go one to be stars but as far as contributing to Kentucky basketball overall as a whole, they are just average compared to players like Delk, Prince, Padgett, Shepard, Wayne Turner, and so on, players who played at Kentucky and actually got a whole lot done over a period of time.... .....

Last year we evaluated players solely on their time at Kentucky. I say we keep it that way, with one possible exception: I think Will said this above, but if a player played/plays in the NBA, he might get a bump in cost.

If it's based on UK, how do you determine the value of players like Towns and others who sacrificed stats at Kentucky for one year?

Efficiency, averages per minutes, and the good ol' eye test.

I have one other alternative to the salary cap idea: instead of making our first picks ourselves, we hold some kind of drawing from a first-round player tier, which would be determined by the number of participants in the draft. So, if twelve of us are playing, then we come to a consensus on who the first twelve players taken would be, then we find a way to randomly distribute those players amongst each team GM/owner. The strategy, then, is to build the best possible lineup around your first-round player.

Isn't that close to the way it was last year? If we go by a salary cap, as I mentioned above, if a player made 1st team All American he gets the highest salary followed by 2nd team, 3rd team, All SEC team and so on. This way we keep it for their college career only.

It is - the only differences being that the first pick is done for you, so the trick is to build your team around that player, as opposed to building from nothing.

I like the AA idea, though. Add a buck or two for any other awards, too, maybe?

I just did the drawing here at work. I got Anthony Davis Downes got Skal Lighthouse got Bobby Perry teamchemistry got Wah Wah Jones and Kevin got Morakinyo Williams.

Totally fair drawing sorry guys
