Same Standing Pairs Draft - Discussion

[durantbird]

Just want to clarify - could I choose 2011 Derrick Rose and 2023 Jalen Williams, or would I need to pair 2011 Derrick Rose with a 2011 Thunder player? I understand the whole franchise part, just want to clarify if it needs to be the same season for both players.

Yeah, you can pair Rose with JDub. Doesn't have to be the same season

When are we starting?

Actually I plan only tomorrow. I'm less available today. Maybe we'll get another sign up in the process.

If you won't be here then we can get someone else to run the draft. Or are you saying you can only start it tomorrow?

This is actually a much more interesting decision than usual given the franchise pairings.

[uberhikari]

I was gonna take an OP defensive frontcourt pairing but I haven't gotten many opportunities to build around Jokic, so couldn't pass him up.

[Square]

Jokic/Mid was the other one I considered most, though there are a bunch of good pairs.

I totally forgot about Eddie Jones. I was thinking about KG and another defensive force from MIA.

I fully expected Jokic to go before me, though I did expect him to be paired with a different player.

And yeah, EJ has prime Miami years. They are more costly than the ever popular (and in this draft unavailable) 1998 year, but in this case I still felt it would be worth it. We'll see if I'm right.

It's definitely worth it. That's a great pairing.

Edit: I forgot about that other Bucks player just like I forgot about Eddie Jones. That decision might have some interesting ripple effects.

[Snakebites]

I considered Giannis and Billups since I like Billups so much. Went for a more flexible option.

[Fadeaway_J]

Didn't realise when I joined how much the selection of franchises impacted the player pool. I'm scared of what will be left for my second pair.

Yeah there are a lot of teams with excellent player pools who just weren’t any good last year.

And plenty of teams with lousy pools who snuck in.

Grabbing a star pair was the right move for you 100 percent. The pool is fairly thin.
