What about the previous draft?

Thanks for the reminder!

Number 2 on my board was actually Lebron with a Serbian sharpshooter.

Curious to see what the board will look like once we get to my pick. Seems harder to predict now.

I’ve taken him quite often, my main concern here was if i locked in my forwards as LeBron and him I’d have to have LeBron on the opponents best F all/most of the game which isn’t ideal in most scenarios. Figured Christie gave me significantly more flexibility moving forward both positionally and FGA wise.

Yeah I’m actually around now. I will make my pick after all. Likely around 3/3:30 pm est

I'm glad that I waited for you because you didn't list LeBron in your options. I guess you didn't think he'll be available. That was my concern

I didn’t forget about him when making my list, just had a change of heart!

I make little mental short lists by positions in my head

Then I think about them obsessively and can't focus on anything else in my life

Hopefully your obsessions pay off

Yeah DB would have left a list if he’d been at risk of getting skipped.

I wouldn't have skipped him either way, but where does it say that? All I found about time was 2 hour windows and clock turned off 12-9

I think it is always posted in the Discussion threads but that has been for the 3 games I have played. It would be easier if it were in the Draft Thread, I agree.

In fairness he did quote everybody when he posted that.

DB’s games always have a fairly long delay in the start of the clock, not that I’d expect anyone who hasn’t played 80 percent of these games for years to know that.
