I’ll be waiting for JR regardless of what happens.

The clock is on hold until this is sorted out, I would prefer not to remove Big Al from the game or start over

The players? Sure.

Honestly I’m not sure what should happen now.

I think that JR (and Al Jefferson) should just be removed, unless you can find a replacement.

Anyone in the draft could choose my player in that case, other than Wack, so I can’t get revenge.

Which would mean I can't pick for Wackbone anymore, since he technically chose my player. That's a little messier.

I could randomly give one of the 5 remaining players who don't have one yet Al Jefferson and the 1st pick, which I believe would solve our problems. However I will wait at least an hour to see if anyone joins.

Ness defintely needs to be stuck with Bernard King after this cheeky response.

...he's not picking my guy, right?

I also want to point out that if I actually ended up stuck with Al Jefferson after becoming convinced he was a good (bad) pick that this would be the absolute height of irony.

I'm not gonna lie, I was really hoping a worse drafter would take JR's place.

Was actually a fan of Big Al in his Minny days. :lol:

Give me a few minutes to get acquainted with the rules.

Big Al playing the 5 in a 90s to now pool should be a barrel of laughs.

I definitely had Derozan high on my list, though I suppose cost wise 21 FGA for a SG isn't really worse than Jefferson or Howard's for a big man
