GM Rankings

[carter15]

So I did a league-wide poll of the current GMs to get their opinions on who are the top 10 GMs thus far for this sim.
The results are slightly disappointing because I only got 14 responses (myself included), so that is what we're going with.
How it worked is each spot is assigned a point total (1st place = 10, 2nd place = 9, etc... all the way until 10th place = 1) and then the total of all the votes is added up. If somebody voted for themselves, that vote was not counted and basically just considered an empty spot.

Template:

1. Team Name - Total Points (Number of 1st place votes) (High ranking, Low ranking)
*Note: Since a team rankings themselves counted as a 0, that obviously doesn't count as a NR in the "low ranking".

1. Flyin - 108 points (5) (H: 1st, L: NR)

2. Carter - 106 points (2) (H: 1st, L: 8th)

3. Baller - 59 points (2) (H: 1st, L: NR)

T-4. Tym - 58 points (1) (H: 1st, L: NR)

T-4. Dhop - 58 points (0) (H: 4th, L: NR)

6. Rob - 53 points (1) (H: 1st, L: NR)

7. Jon - 51 points (1) (H: 1st, L: NR)

8. Zb & Greg - 41 points (0) (H: 3rd, L: NR)

9. D1Rose - 36 points (0) (H: 3rd, L: NR)

10. BullsNumber1Fan - 32 points (0) (H: 3rd, L: NR)

Other receiving votes:
Marv - 27 (1), Riv - 24, Phlp - 19, A.Mopp - 16, Beezy - 12, Rip - 12, MGB/Futuro - 11, DC - 9, Homie - 9, Brent - 4.

Most underrated:
MGB/Futuro - I think what hurts them in these rankings is that neither of them are very active. However they have the most regular season wins thus far and a finals appearance to accompany it. They started with a very strong team but have made great acquisitions with Andre Miller and Marcus Camby.
Runner-up: DC - 2nd most wins, but a playoff record of under .500.

Most Bizarre:
Homie - I don't understand how he got a 2nd place vote, but he did.

General Commentary:
- It's cool how the 2 commishes ended up being exactly tied in points.
- There was such a wide variety of answers and rankings as you can see but all the "others".
- Recent performance was rewarded more so than earlier performance. Flyin got a ton of votes since he had just won, but there were 3 other teams who won as well and have had as good or better overall success.
- Finally, I got a ton of votes even though I haven't won anything, so based solely on my roster. I was also the only GM to be ranked in everyone's list (aside from my own), however I don't think I deserved that compared to some other GMs.

I may have overrated flyin a bit this sim... He's done pretty well but he did start with Pierce and Antoine which I sort of forgot when I did my rankings. I forget what I had him but it was pretty high.

And somebody rated me 1st!

[Riveramk2]

Drose is ahead of me there is no way in hell drose is a better gm than me this poll is rigged

Drose cant even tank right

[Mr. Baller]

D1rose not drose

[zB_#85]

^that. and he has like 3 championships as a relatively newer gm so I ranked him pretty high too.

[the_jon]

It was supposed to be based on results in this sim only though.

[Tymathee]

lol only 4th and behind teams who got better starts than my team. I can't camp, had a team going no where and with scrap turned them into championship contenders, so much hate for da commish!

flyin is pretty good tho, he's a beast in trading and he keeps quiet and plods along

You can tell reputations factored into it too though. There's really a lot of different ways you can go about to rank gms.

right. I did figure for this sim only, but having been around for a while I also know who I believe some of the better gm's are and that was factored in a bit. If I was having a hard time ranking a couple guys all things were even in this sim, I'd give the nod to the better gm (IMO) from other sims. d1 has a championship this sim too, and granted he started with Kobe and Shaq, he had to add to them to put them over the hump I didn't have him first, I was just saying that I put him up there pretty high and yes even though I focused primarily on this sim some other stuff factored in.

[Hellcrooner]

yeah 0 votes!!!!!!!!!!

Either way im the Number 1 at providing fun.

[Robbw241]

No I'm the funnest

[Hellcrooner]

No I'm the funnest

I will politely disagree, Rosa Parks style.

[dhopisthename]

I like how my highest ranking was 4th and I still wound up 4th

[ElFuturoDeESPN]

I will politely disagree, Rosa Parks style.

Get in the back of the bus where you belong, Crooner. Don't make me tell you again.

I'll take being underrated. My activity has dipped a bit the last season and a half, but being financially bound to T-Mac, Hill and now Dre it's been hard making moves, especially when all we get are ******** offers.

Dre, T-Mac, Hill and Swift should make a potent lineup here in a year or two, though.

[John Walls Era]

I voted based on this sim only. I think i overrated d1rose and carter at the time. I kept seeing 3x champion in his sig...

And my voting criteria changed quarter of the way cuz i couldnt remember all the gm names and i wasnt gonna spend more than 5 minutes
