This is pretty close but I still have to go Nos for reasons explained earlier...

Nos - 135
Turkey - 129

I love Baylor, Barkley, Wilt. I do think he has a pretty good rebounding advantage with the starters although Malone is just so big and strong Barkley from what I remember had a tough time with him, Artis is one of the few players big enough to be able to at least slow down Wilt. It's the backcourt where I believe I have a real edge. I also think in this matchup my bench is much stronger, I love Turkey's team and for his first time out he's done amazingly well but I have to go with me here.

This is a typical coin toss semi. Great matchups on the front line, edge to Turkey with the awesome Wilt. Better frontcourt depth for Nos. I just can't get past the Magic/Tiny matchup though. It's such a mismatch, I just can't see Turkey overcoming it, despite some other edges.

[Mebert]

Both teams are awesome. I think having Reed and English on the bench are the difference. And Richmond never gets his due. Anyone the Jordan considered the toughest to gaurd should get more respect. I have to go with nos

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yup turkey got himself a real bruiser of a front court but Nos got himself some depth which is HUGE to keep things close. Then I def lean his bench which is obviously real big in this draft since minutes are even. And magic even in restricted minutes is just too big an edge here.

Great job first time out turkey. But I got Nos.

I'm taking myself. I've got the better 2nd wave players. At worst its a push. And I think I fairly easily have the better 1st wave with the exception of Magic. And whatever mismatch Magic has over Tiny is countered with Baylor of Nique. Nique is a nice player but Baylor was hands down one of the best SF of all time. You want to talk underrated players, its Elgin Baylor. He's constantly forgotten about until you sit down and realize he makes a strong case for Top 10 all time players (not just SF, but overall). He's safely Top 15. Blaylock and Richmond are overrated players, two dudes primarily from the 90s when PG dipped quite a bit. Lever and Rip are just as good. There's no real gap in those guards. Prime Hill is better than Alex English. Reed and Bellamy, famous names but Griffin and Ming are just as productive and Griffin at least is far more athletic.

I'll vote Nos Overall, but Turkey does have the better 2nd wave imho.

I got turkey over Nos... i think his 2nd wave is slightly better...
