I feel like I didn't put nearly as much thought into my picks as everyone else.

I'm still unsure how to approach the whole limited games at each position thing.

Just remember, alot of good players end up missing games at the end of the season due to coaches "resting" them for the playoffs. Also, expect at least 2 of your guys to go down to injury's at some point in the season. One of the worst things you can do is still have unplayed games when your fantasy season ends.

I usually start out the season playing everyone that i can (except my 11th and 12th round picks).

If someone sits out a game (like Duncan on a b2b) and he is in your starting lineup, does that count as a game? Do you need to bench guys that are going to sit?

I dont believe so. A couple years back it was like that, but i believe Yahoo changed it last season to where is a player gets 0 minutes its not counted. Im not 100% sure on it, but damn close.

Ah, I always was under the impression that if a player was benched/played 0 minutes, you'd still be wasting a game slot. I'll have to dig around, I wasn't aware they changed it but it could very well be.

I was too, but about halfway through last season it didnt seem like that was the fact.

I was going to say I'm really liking the team LV suns put together. He grabbed a few guys I was either thinking of with my picks or took a guy I was going to target.

ESPN doesn't include those guys against your GP total, so I'm glad someone asked about it for this one.

Yeah, LV looks tough. I really wanted Derrick Favors (who had 14 rebounds and 3 blocks tonight). For him it depends on the health of Wade and Irving.

But if Reggie Jackson plays like he did tonight (29 pts, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and a steal), he got a steal late.

Don't get me started on Favors...

I regret not picking him in my original draft board list at pick Round 3... I opted for Duncan for more points so I had him at pick 4 instead ... But lost him to LV...

I'm hoping Drummond gets 25-30 minutes and get double double.

Post #413 » by **Qwigglez** » Wed Oct 9, 2013 7:42 am

I'll take Frye.

With my last pick...

I pick Corey Brewer.

With my last pick,

Jordan Crawford

Bwgood77 is up with the final pick in the D-League draft! I will finalize the Yahoo league once the pick is made.

Post #417 » by **bwgood77** » Wed Oct 9, 2013 1:42 pm

I'll take Matt Barnes

I accidentally dropped jimmy butler from my team but I have to wait till the 13th to add him back. So no one take him plz! SH you noob :lol:

Post #419 » by **Miklo** » Wed Oct 9, 2013 2:45 pm

Thanks everyone for such a smooth draft. The D-League is killing it this year.

I have finalized the Yahoo league and waiver order, so rosters can now be adjusted, trades proposed, players released and added, etc.

Feel free to discuss drafts, rosters, trading block, etc!

To be fair, please nobody sign Jimmy Butler when he hits waivers. Superhuman, no need to add him now on waivers as you will use up your waiver priority for an honest mistake. Wait until he clears waivers then just add him regularly, as nobody will steal him.
