It should be fine, although maybe it's best to wait until the first round is over. It's possible some people simply haven't logged in to see we've started.

We could also think about switching to appointment drafting in the later rounds. That way we can set a shorter time limit because everyone will be drafting during a consistent window.

Where are you at the moment Spaceman? I thought you were in the US.

I am in the Czech Republic actually. I left the US after University and have been living in Prague as an expat, working and traveling and figuring myself out before I commit to a career or place long-term. Best decision I've made in my life so far.

Hmm sounds like a good move for me too when I finish up my masters next year.

Shaq was hard to turn down. Obviously, he has an argument for the greatest peak ever. I went with Wilt because the 7 less FGA gives me more versatility and potentially more fun, but it's incredible that Shaq went as late as pick 6.

Same with myself and Wilt. Wilt IMO peaked higher and cost ~3 less FGA, but Duncan is so well rounded and easy to fit into any type of team construct.

I don't think we should talk about players who haven't been drafted.

Hate to be a stickler, but once again please don't name undraftdd players. We don't want to give any indication of where people are thinking about drafting someone.

Thanks

Try not to talk about players not yet drafted.

However, some players in this draft are interesting, but should be better on the PC Board version instead of the T&T Board because of the difference in player evaluation. There is a player I was going to pick at 4 but I didn't because of the wide-range of opinions on him. It is ironic because I did end up picking a player with varying opinions.

Yeah, it's a gamble. Wilt and Russell range from GOAT to # ~10 on GOAT lists, whereas The rest of the players drafted to this point tend to have rather consistent rankings.

I'm not averse to a faster clock if you guys want to run that. And i say this as a skipped pick

Yeah if we wanted to go that route, we could turn off the clock between the hours of 12-8 EST (or something along those lines) and do 2-4 hour periods during the rest of the day.

Something like that would work for me, too.

That's perfect honestly. Anytime someone is going to bed with their pick coming up, message someone you trust your big board.

Edit: Headed to bed. Messaged Quotatious my big board.
