    So is the site basically slowly dying?

    There has been one draft realted article written in the past month, also one random article about international players. The one about draft prospects had a terrible amount of mistakes in it most of which were pointed out within a week and they still haven’t been corrected (even the word "French" is misspelled).

    We still can’t create mock drafts, the last tweet by the site was made almost a month ago. Meanwhile the "rival" site is uploading astonishing amounts of content.

    So, are we seeing the end of NBADraft.net? I’ve been here over six years and this is rather sad for me, but it is the most dead I have ever seen this site. The forum is still okay, but most of the best posters have left.

     College basketball hasn’t even started yet so how many Skal vs. Ben Simmons articles do we need?

    Slow times for college basketball but that will pick up soon.

    this is an indie site and most indie sites have lower traffic now it seems like.

     just for the forum. When I want insightful draft content, I hit up Mr. Givony. I know he isn’t the most liked dude, but he is and his guys are plugged in and are good at what they do.

    The site is fine has a great following and the forum is strong.. This site gets a decent amount of unique clicks researching the analytics, long story short the site is making money without posting consistent unique content

    Plus they get sweet back-handers by certain affiliations who could benefit from increasing a certain players stock.

    They dont even need to do ‘work’ to make money.

    Independent draft site? Major lolz.

     I hope this site isn’t dying!  I get what Anton123 is saying though.  Content and articles from what I remember were much more plentiful and of better quality.  Many things in life are cyclical and  I hope this site is just part of a normal stage in the life of a website.

     regurgitated garbage that is 95% "Group Think" meaning these guys just funnel the same stories thru each & every media outlet so if I’ve read one I’ve read them all….

    I’d rather visit this site b/c many of the posts are unique & the conversations that result are interesting….

     This website isn’t dying. T Rex won’t allow it. Not before we acknowledge that Smart is the Goat.

     

    The fact that Euroballer stopped ‘updating’ us on unathletic guys with absurd names is a bit worrying though.

     Holding the users to higher standards(aka banning the trolls’ IP) would be a nice way to start.

    The season just began, it should pick up steam soon.

    The spam and trolls are definitely pushing people away, even myself. I used to wake up every morning, grab a cup of coffee, then login to nbadraft.net to read the new posts. It was something I actually looked forward to doing, but now days every post is a spam bot or a troll and I just have no desire to read the idiocy; therefore I don’t visit as often and even when I do visit I bypass 90% of the posts made.

    I’ve been reading this site for 6-7 years and it’s definitely at its lowest point ever right now. I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end, I think as the season progresses and college starts it will pick up again, but it will never be back to it’s former glory days.

     I love this site.  My wife gets mad at me for being on too much.  I really wish they would have more updated scouting reports.  I love reading what this site says about rating players athleticism and quickness and how much I disagree with it.  Also, Ivan Rabb’s mug has been on the bottom of this page for almost a year it seems.  I think it’s time he comes down.

    NEWS TEAM… ASSEMBLE!!!! *tumbleweed rolls by*

    So I will always have love for this site. The trolls and spam kind of pushed me to reddit’s NBA page (good for links) in all honest but I always check here when I can. This was great on so many levels. 3 reasons why I love this site and will continue to support:

    1) Basketball knowledge – some of the best insights came from users who share your same passion for the game of basketball. We can’t cover every game so it was nice to get good prespectives. And truth be told, they’re still there. Life happens and I can understand why it gets hard for people to keep up.  

    2) The community – I’ll speak for myself but maybe others will relate but I’m not really a social / cool person. I’m kind of a goofball but I do keep to myself and often find myself looking for ways to deal with being alone. And this forum was absolutely amazing for that. How you guys view me on here is your own opinion but you have always made me feel welcomed and it’s a nice community that can be extremely entertaining and makes you forget about life for a bit.

    3) Simplicity – Compared to the site that shall not be mentioned, I preferred the way things were set up. However, this can be to a fault now as there have not been any major upgrades to the site so we would have liked a little bit of upgrades there. Still, it doesnt feel overwhelming.

    But as mentioned, the NBA is back, NCAA will be starting soon and I expect users to show more frequently. This site will always have my support and I hope it does not go away any time soon.
