Easy choice for you

Reggie was the last guy on my list. Not sure who you are referring to, but hopefully will figure it out.

There's that dropoff I was worried about.

There was a very clear top 8 in terms of available non-exempt players in this one. Honestly I'm not even sure what to do.

How about this: the team with the lowest ranking score in the last game gets first preference, the runner up gets second to last preference, the winner gets last preference. If you don’t submit your rankings AND didn’t vote in the last game, your preferences aren’t considered. If your preference is 1, the person with the worst ranking score gets #1. If it’s last, the person with the worst ranking score gets the last pick. We do this until all draft slots are filled.

Up.

I feel like Reggie/Gasol are both solid. Might take 3 point shooting Gasol, for that 3D Center

Karl Malone kind of in his own dimension of non-lottery picks...

Thought about him with my first pick until I realized Price was available.

There's a high volume talent who's usually on the blacklist, I'll be interested to see who uses him since that type of player almost never gets picked non lotto

I forgot that Hakeem and Barkley aren't in this draft, makes the exception pool just a little tighter...

Really surprised more exception players weren’t taken that round. I thought maybe with the absence of Dream, MJ, Magic, Bird, Barkley, and some of the other goats that there would have been more used.

Definitely expected more of a run on exceptions that round.

Yeah. It's not actually that deep. People who wait too long might actually find themselves light on talent, unlike other games where waiting on your exemption was the best way to maximize talent.

I was always probably going to use it this round. Ben and Peja both fit pretty well with KG. Shrug.
