Let's speed in along then. Much like Christian Wood and Robert Williams have done the last 2 years, I'm taking a center who makes the best of limited playing time and is loved by advanced stats. We're talking about 24.3 PER, .263 WS/48, 5.5 BPM, 4.3 EPM, 6.5 RAPTOR and 3.1 LEBRON.

With my last pick I'm taking Isaiah Hartenstein

Wait, is anyone actually against doing 12 rounds? Sounds fun to me not going to lie!

I am not against, but not sure we have actually a consensus of going ahead.
We can go on but these extra players are like "reserves", they shouldn't be used in the actual games.
And I would proceed with the games as well, to not lose momentum with the guys not particularly interested to continue.

In last year's finals both the Bucks and Suns had 7 main rotation guys with 8 and 9 also providing like 10 mpg. Outside of that nobody played more than 10 minutes total over the entire series.

Sometimes there are teams who spread out those minutes the 8th and 9th man usually get over multiple players like the Heat in 2020 or the Warriors in 2019 so it isn't like going 12 deep is unheard of in the play-offs. It's just that drafting two more end of bench guys who some people might want to give like 5 mpg likely isn't going to have any meaningful impact on how we view these teams so I'd rather just move on to the voting.

I have been playing with the spreadsheet, adding a few sheets.
In the draft one I added I made sure all names appear in the correct order.
Asking you guys to just add the correct original team for your guys, just to be able to make some better analysis later...

All teams have strengths and weaknesses. Drafting 2 more rounds would allow us to select specialists who can address these weaknesses. It's all about potential matchups in the playoffs. Or we can just draft our binkies which is also a valid strategy! :D

Btw, I'm assuming Baski can make his pick? Colbinii is on the clock for 13+ hours.

For me ten rounds is plenty. Slogging through two rounds of bench players we won't use just seems like a waste of time.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
