Just in case there's any confusion on this point, you do not have to decide on the season you're using until the playoffs.

I didn't see one yet so I'll share my spreadsheet. I'm making it by postion completing rosters so not just in draft order.

Dominique is one of my favorite players. Very happy to see him finally taken. I took him in my first game ever and he was not well received. Circumstances are drastically different in this game however. I think he is definitely worth an early pick.

The draft is going pretty much as I expected so far. Wilkins might be somewhat surprising, but it's nice to see him definitely get taken in one of these games...great scorer! Very interested to see the next few picks and see if exceptions are used/international players are used cuz it gets kind of muddy now..

If there's ever a game for Wilkins to get drafted I would think it would be this one. Not nearly as much depth as we are used to, and the one exception helps a lot. I think the hardest part is building the perfect team around Wilkins to accommodate with his liabilities

Almost went with a big man to save my exception, but I see lots of quality bigs and only one Steph Curry.

I just started looking through the player list. My god this draft may get ugly.

I can't say I feel 100% great about it, though it seemed the best move. It's pretty daunting to go forward in this pool with no exemption.

I thought very hard about Magic given the dearth of point guards, as well as LeBron. Tough call.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I don't mind the pick, even if it feels a tad early. He normally isn't well received, but this pool is a different animal. He can be a great secondary or even primary scoring option. You will need to put some defenders around him.

I predict 8 or more exceptions will be used in round 1. So far, 4 have been used.

I was really hoping Nique would fall to me in the second. Apparently not lol

I saw that you made a pick in the other game just now. Just so you know that you are up in this draft too...a little over 30 min to go. I don't want you to miss a Round 1 pick!

I have no idea who I'm picking. I guess I'll see how the cards play out within the next few picks, which hopefully helps and go from there...

Thanks mate I just wanted to look over the list before making any hasty decisions
