I thought about "Getting Horny Kicked Ass" but I think that's too long.

I figured there's no point changing names until the draft has been finalised.

How is everyone else keeping track of picks?

I went and added all the guys who had been picked to my watch list just so they showed up highlighted next to the names when I sorted them.

Sorry guys, super crazy and hectic day at work. Gimme a minute to look what scrubs I have to choose from and I'll pick

Taking Demar DeRozan.

Not a fan of this pick really but I'm hoping he can continue to improve his 3pt shot which will help his fg%. Hoping last year was not a fluke. Hoping my next target is still on the board on the come back. Had to make a lot of changes because of some of you jerks reaching on guys early.

I had Derozan last year in a couple of leagues and he worked out pretty well, as long as you know you're not going to get much defense or 3's.

Ya which was an issue for me. Threes there wasn't a great target at this point. Once you get past the elite SGs you get into the Specialists of the league and that's a few rounds away more than likely.

My draft hasn't really gone the way I would have liked. But gotta roll with the punches

I apparently wasn't paying close attention when I posted the original message here, so I was basically doing what RunDogGun likes to post as an emoticon which is pretty disrepectful to other posters imo and was being :crazy:

I feel ya. I feel that way in the Premier league big time. My last pick was stupid because I didn't want to hold up the draft and my targets were taken with the few picks prior to mine, so I looked at ranking and took a guy I hadn't even given a thought to prior to 5 minutes before. But given the fact others have no problem holding up the draft for hours, I should have waited even though I knew it would likely be at least 10 hours later.

Ya definitely should take your time. Nothing wrong with using the clock. It does suck when your plan gets thrown out the window immediately preceding your pick.. A few guys get taken a bit early and it causes a ripple effect that makes people scatter to get their PG or C or whatever sooner than they think. And sometimes it's damn near impossible to pick because 3 of your targets. I had 3 or 4 guys that I really wanted but obviously that's not possible so you gotta weigh options. Unfortunately it always seems the guy I least want is at the position that is most scarce(looking at you Lawson!).

I've now made a fancy spreadsheet to track picks and tell me my top ranked players who haven't been picked.

The problem is... no-one's picking atm!

We've been doing very well thus far, so I've decided to push the running clock to October 8th - one whole week of untimed drafting. Full details on the first page.

Thanks for updating the picks. I was about to do it and saw they were all updated already.

Was really torn between a few guys (as always) injury risks and dips in productions last year have me hesitant to draft who I was originally targeting. So I'm going to go with a player that I'm not particularly fond of but should have a good year...

Kemba Walker. Here's hoping he finds a way to improve his FG% a bit.
