Not a fan of being able to slide drafted players into other cats once you have drafted and nominated them for a cat.

Once you call it it should be a lock IMO.

I beg to differ.

Manu's overall stats during the season was not very special,but it was because he suffered from injuries,check his game splits,in the last 3 months and playoofs,he is back to his old 20/5/5 self.

Plus,his off ball movement,defense,clutchness and basketball IQ is unseen in the other star wing players left to be chosen.

That runs a serious risk of running out of players for categories and what not. The flexibility is pretty much necessary IMO.

I just think it makes you make tougher choices and really have to think 2 or 3 steps ahead.

Might mean that you have to punt a few cats, but that should be part of the challenge.

It might have changed some people's strategies if they had known that. Also, I think there is something to be said for choosing players who can slot into several categories, to allow for adapting your strategy later.

Walt takes Gilbert Arenas instead. Knucklehead.

Noooo. That was going to be my next pick.

I forgot all about Granger not going to the playoffs. Oh well.

Fred - Granger pick is invalid. he made the playoffs in 05/06 as a rookie. he played 6 games.

you can slide him over to the no tattoos category though (i think).

Fred Williamson · Post #155 » by **Fred Williamson** » Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:39 pm

okay then, Granger to "No known/visible tattoos" category

TK has chosen to go with Carlos Boozer in the All Star cat.

Jaruff · Post #159 » by **Jaruff** » Sat Jul 24, 2010 10:38 pm

^ Wow, I'm very surprised he's never made an All-Star team. Very surprised.
