Didn't manage to get Lowry, so I figured I'd change my team name to something more thematically appropriate. Decided to honor Kyle Anderson's Slow Break. Also I found this and it's amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGJhj2IE8i4

That Simmons pick will probably end up being the steal of the draft, even if he misses a few games out of the gate. Does anyone really think he's not going to put up first-round-ish numbers wherever he lands

Does anyone really think he's not going to put up first-round-ish numbers wherever he lands Well his fantasy points per game last season weren’t anywhere near first round in this format but yeah he’s comfortably the best last year player on the board now. But those missing games could end up being last year of Harden in Houston level poo poo, where he sits on and off or nakedly half asses until they find a deal they can stomach, then he has to adjust to a new team mid season. It’s a real risk, not least because he’s not a Harden type who can just step in and do his thing

I considered Simmons as an alternative to Paul since both could put up great numbers but had their respective issues that could mean them missing games. The "Ben won't report" coverage was the deciding factor, just another layer of uncertainty. Won't be surprised if he is a standout for whoever drafted him though.

I think midway through last round would've been where Simmons should have gone just based on last year's stats. That is a definitely limitation of the point system is it has a hard time encapsulating the value of someone who doesn't score much, and while Simmons rebounding numbers are impressive as a point guard, they are kind of just average for a power forward, so from an aggregate perspective Ben Simmons is basically below Richaun Holmes. The system does support the ability to weigh (some) stats more for players at a certain position, but PGs are already super valuable in the system and increasing their rebounding points would make them too valuable. I do agree though if he goes somewhere and he's driving like he did when he first got into the league then he's going to be a steal.

Kale is the first of the season to receive an insultingly bad trade offer from me but this time it was a bad trade on my end and I'm glad I came to my senses.

Definitely, although I have 20 people left lined up for the next two picks that I think will combine to be worth one Draymond. I'm just sad, Dray was my secret weapon last year. But also he was PG eligible last year, too.

Well I sold out and drafted my least favorite player. I can only assume Wiggins will be compelled to get vaccinated and put up nice fantasy lines on whichever team he plays for.

This year I am determined to not draft anyone I don’t like, no matter how much they would help my team. It will probably hurt my team in the long run, but at least I won’t end up rooting for Kelly Olynyck.

I know Jalen's a reach here but the one thing I've learned about drafting with you guys so far is that if there's a player I want I just need to grab them because they will 100% not drop

I just accepted a trade for my current pick but now it's under 24 hour review, any way to force it through so we're not all waiting another day? Can't imagine anyone would wanna veto it e:

Lol great. rivetz posted:I know that's giving up a lot to move up a few slots and I wonder if Hunter was even on anyone else's shortlist anyway but I don't care, I love his upside when healthy and think he's a better #2 w Trae than Collins. I feel like we're entering the area where the player pool starts to flatten out a little and you can afford to gamble a bit I was taking him either that round or next. He was really good last year before getting hurt. E: like Drummond was by far the best last-year stat player remaining (and was last cycle, too, lol), but I half think I could have let him go another entire cycle because no one wants him and his numbers will definitely be down this season since he'll only be starting on the games Embiid sits (although those days he does start it's gonna be worth it I think). But I was still half-asleep when I was up and didn't feel like going to look at my list and just picked Drummond from my bed because I could remember him.

He's usually like a solid second-third round draft pick when healthy although he also right now is in the period where non-KD people suck when they get back on the floor so who knows.

I was wondering when guys like Murray and Klay would go. It makes sense that they would have more value in a deeper league than they did last year. I'm really curious to see how Isaac looks when he comes back too, now that Lavine and Durant have made it clear that it's entirely possible to come back all the way, it really raises the ceiling on expectations. also interested how things will go this season free agent-wise w 13 teams in the league vs 10, with all the injuries last season I was scraping the wire on a daily basis;. Pull 36 more players (most of the best ones, too) out of that pool and it could get pretty hairy. Should be cool, it's so satisfying to take a flyer on someone who winds up saving your bacon on a given night

When the draft winds up will it go to waivers for a bit, or straight into FA?

There were about 20 guys I could have justified taking, and it’s not surprising at all that Oubre/Kuzma/Gordon went right after I picked. I was surprised Gordon was still on the board tbh

Which makes me nervous about what waivers are going to look like once this gets going.

I guess that’s based on where other leagues draft him maybe? You guys are making good points about the waiver wire with the few extra teams we have. It’ll be even more rewarding now to find that one week pickup who swings the series for you. Lot of good looking teams so far though!
