The struggle is real.
I know on paper this was easier than the other game, but it sorta doesn’t FEEL easier.
My last 3 guys need 22.5 boards and have 26.2 FGA to get them.
There are a number of guys who get you around 9 boards for 5 fga's. So you'd have 21.2 fga's to get 13.5 boards for two more bench players. And your starting lineup looks pretty normal except Grant at the point, which doesn't look like a problem, particularly with Manu.
I think we'll end up seeing a lot of teams with decent benches that just don't have as much shooting as they normally would.

Always wondered if maybe we should have a penalty (not this game) for not doing so or at least acknowledge you aren't because of the device you're on. Mostly laziness I would guess.

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
Hey guys, my first draft here, didn't see this discussion thread.
Any thoughts on my team? I'm kind of trying to build a 95/96 Bulls here:
XXXX
MJ
Kirilenko
Shawn Marion
Gobert

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
I’m not gonna lie - I under estimated how hard it would be to get these 65.0 rebounds.....

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
Damnit Ness. I knew I should’ve taken Dunn or Evans with one of my last picks.
Everyone is prob just gonna end up with a bench of 3 centres lol.

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
Yikes I really should’ve made a Bogut type pick last round. This looks painful.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
DN’s draft looks great. Paul, Kawhi and Ewing and a ton of rebounds from Evans and Chandler.

Re: Rebounds Draft : Discussion
I have a feeling we are going to reach round 7/8 and there's not going to be any player with X amount of FGAs and X amount of REBs
Certainly a challenge
