BUMPITY BUMP LIKE A TRAIN BABBY.
So we have made it to the all star break and it is time to determine who gets the highly coveted 2051 rigger 1st round draft pick! The pick is given as compensation to the player who gave away the "best" player. Obviously "best" is subjective, so I'm taking 3 things into account:
1. What has the player's performance been like? This is really the one objective measure I'm using and will therefore be the most heavily weighted.
2. Where was the player drafted? This indicates how desirable they were at the time of the HG draft. This also helps evaluate the prospects who either aren't ready for the WBL or were injured when picked, but were still highly desirable.
3. The relative disparity between what was given and what was received. If you gave up a great player and got a shithead, I think that makes you more deserving of receiving the comp pick, so this will be considered if players are close.
4. Discussion/campaigning/stumping. Make a case for why your tribute was the best. The stats only tell part of the story, so I want to hear from all of you1 What do you think of the tribute you gave up? How has the tribute you received performed?
Take a look at this summary table, but also feel free to click through the player links in the quoted post to examine the stats more thoroughly! Lets dial the immersion back up today and have a great discussion.
