Ok, sorry for the delay but I have just run my simulation and here's the final order.
A reminder on the rules:
- we start Saturday at 18 UTC (do your math, wherever you are!)
- every team has a total 24h to make a pick, max 8h for each pick
- whenever you pick quote the guy after you so that he knows he's on
- if you know you'd be off for several hours, you can send your list to me via PM (if anyone else wants to help...)
- if after 8 hours the first pick hasn't been made we'll ask if someone as a backup wants to join in

Based on the discussions we had, I think it makes sense to keep out players with long term injuries such as Klay, Kawhi, MPj, Murray and, with the new developments, Zion (Pj Dozier and Kira Lewis as well...).
In case of any doubt about other players we can have a discussion here.
Remember these guys at realistic playoff shape for this year.

Remember these guys at realistic playoff shape for this year.

Let me get this straight. Are these players banned from the draft or is it up to each participant to judge whether they'd be significant contributors come playoff time?

my suggestion: let's keep them out.
but it should be agreed before the draft what these players are supposed to be.
for instance, I can argue about LeBron, point out what he saw about him in the last like 12 month, how I would use him and make sure he can handle the load I would ask him.
What can we discuss about Kawhi? Either we say "he is what he was last year" or it not sure what we can argue with each other.

Fine by me. You are the commissioner, you make the rules. Could you please specify which players are banned? You've already mentioned the following players:

- Klay Thompson
- Kawhi Leonard
- Michael Porter Jr.
- Jamal Murray
- Zion Williamson
- PJ Dozier
- Kira Lewis

Is this the final list?

Oh boy, pick #2. I'd been daydreaming of more of a mid round pick, have to rethink.

Major steal at the 4 spot. Good case to be made he should have been picked 1st.
