No worries, you guys keep this forum up and running. Appreciate all the work you guys do. I don't think it's a Mods responsibility either, forum members didn't post one either.

[EMG518]

Spoiler:

Yes, that was such a fun draft, thank you for doing this (AND SCORING THEM!).

Anytime, I personally love the draft. Nba playoffs, March Madness, NBA draft are my favorite sporting events. If we don't have one up like a week before the draft next year I will throw it up again and give people more time next go around.
