The Gunners Draft - Discussion Thread

The clock starts at 4 PM EDT, unless we complete a full round before then. Please note I have changed the time frame to 90s and forward.

If a player has two seasons tied for his highest FGA, are we allowed to pick either, or do we have to pick the one that's the highest fractionally?

You can pick either one.

Hmm, thought Duncan would drop to me. I'm not that bothered, just mildly surprised.

I'm curious to see how this plays out regarding certain guys dropping.

In certain cases, guys highest FGA seasons are considerably worse than cheaper ones, and expensive enough to make it troublesome to build a team

That's why I limited it to stars only. Even with only eight managers we're going to start feeling the bench fairly quickly, especially with some of the top support pieces.

Yes. Eligibility is determined solely by whether a player's rookie season was 1989-90 or later.

Not sure why, but didn't get a notification that you quoted me.

Oh. I'm not sure if it was because I changed someone else's username from a different quote. Hope it didn't jam you up too much.

I was debating between Durant and KG. Getting skipped made my decision a lot easier :D .

Too bad this doesn't go back to the 60s. Someone could grab Wilt for a mere 39.5 FGAs. :o
