He can't be, he's from Compton. He just played international ball, but he's not a international player. To count as a international you have to have international blood in your veins. Jennings bleeds good ole' red white and blue!

my understanding is that non european just had to not play ncaa ball and that it didnt matter what country you were from

Countryboi, I thought it was a international player who wasn't from Europe. Like Diop, Deng, Yao, Barbosa and others.

man dang it all the decent point guards are going to be gone before i pick......if i end up with felton i am going to be upset

Obviously Jennings would be a loophole. I am not opposed to using him that way.

Post #107 » by **fatlever** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:44 pm

to clarify, international (not from europe), means, guys not born in USA or Europe and did not play college ball in USA. right?

I really wasn't that thrilled with taking Billups, but I noticed the same thing... by the time it came back to me I would be starting Rafer Alston or something.

Got to get those bookends nice and early.

I actually think I took Kidd last year too but ended up getting stuck with TC where as this year I am very happy with the Kidd and Lopez combo.

I didnt really get a chance to get a bookend......cause i picked so early I just picked BPA and kept it going...oh well i will get a chance to double up on the next lap back around

Pau is definitely a bookend.

Paydro and I set it up so that Jennings could be selected under the international category. Europe (no NCAA) is there to eliminate Boozer from that category.

This. Is. So. Slow.

We're gonna need to cut some categories or something at this rate... how low can we realistically make the time limit?

i see... dirty tricksters

its like playing halo with my nephew when he has designed all his own maps (the only ones he will play) and knows all the locations of the weapons and all the portals and hidden feature. haha.

I would say cut these:

Over/Undersized (position determined by committee, I don't imagine there will actually be much trouble)
Coach
Allstar
Non-Allstar

And merge European (No NCAA ball) and Non-European International (No NCAA ball) into one.

Under no circumstances can the Wife/Girlfriend/Cheerleader be removed; I have the perfect pick.

Plus, this one requires some research.

what? dont cut cats at this point. too much planning already gone into picks. but we could scrach WAGs and Coaches.

people just need to speed up or get skipped. we could trim the limit down to 6 hours and excluded the hours of 2am to 8am when nobody but our europeans and australians are on the board. so if the person in front of you picks at 10PM you have until 10am to pick. if the person in front of you picks at 8am you have until 2pm to make a pick. for the people who are stuck at work for 8 hours with no net access, you probably shouldnt have signed up for this... but you can always send walt a draft list. i think that is fair.
