'25-'26 Dynasty - uraverage miyagi burgs round3 6 hour clock

[8on]

Well, yeah, I sent bw my list. When it gets to my turn please use it

[bigfoot]

Maybe, but how good is he? He had 11 and 7 as a soph. WCJ coming out of Duke as a freshman averaged 13, 8, 2, 2 and 1. I think sometimes guys are a little overrated if they went to big schools because they were highly recruited, even if they didn't do much.

I think he will be very raw. But you never know. Cs take a while. Look at that Ayton draft. As much as so many can't stand Ayton, the rest of the C class developed very slowly...and they were all much more highly coveted.

Of course at this point in the draft it's not really much different than picking someone up off waivers for a week and dropping them. Not likely to be helping bigfoot win any championhips or give him someone reliable to stick in for someone else for injury.

Though obviously I may be wrong and he may kill it.

True but I need a young center and after Kessler, he was really my only option. Williams averaged 2.8 blocks for Duke. I definitely had him on my draft list from the beginning. If the Hornets blow he may get decent minutes this season. Also, his free throw shooting is a crap ton better than Plumlee's. That in itself may earn him more minutes.

Last response was before reading that. 9'9 standing reach. Does sound like he will be good for blocks and probably boards. Good finisher too..or at least can dunk it..led ACC in dunks. Our fans would love him.

Boards, blocks, and fg% have been my downfall in the last two seasons. I was relying too much on Covington playing center and his FG% absolutely sucks. I needed someone to offset all the threes taken by Curry and Ball.

Most of the leftover veteran centers were poor, poor free-throw shooters. I endup drafting four centers, Zubac, Stewart, Bryant, and Williams. I need one or two of these centers to pan out to have any hope this season. Fortunately, guards and small forwards are much easier to come by after the draft is completed and during the season. Centers not so much.

Blocks kill me too. I always am near the top in every FG/FT in every league because I've always made it a point to not draft low FG or FT % players. But since I traded Gobert for Jokic a few years back and him being my main C i have no blocks. It's the only thing he doesn't do. I traded for Brook Lopez but it wasn't enough...tried Steven Adams...still no dice with all 3.

So I drafted Poeltl this time. And Aldama who I noticed had between 1 and 3 blocks in every preseason game. My 2nd worst is rebounding.

This was the first year in a redraft I took a high volume low FT% player in luka and I spent the entire draft trying to make up FT%. I won't do that again. As good as him, Giannis and LeBron were you can't make up their FT% on that volume.

I drafted in a 3rd redraft Knicks league last night and drafted almost all PGs and Cs...they require you to start 2 Cs which killed me...ironically my 2 Cs were Robinson and Noel..in a Knicks league. I think I had one other. But they always had the same night off of course.

Somehow I finished 3rd though. My first pick in that one was Tatum. Last night it was Curry 4th ahead of Giannis or Luka. I have Luka in one league (got 5th) and Steph in the other (4th). I'll see which works out better.

[bwgood77]

Pretty crazy that Mathias has more overall fantasy points in 5 seasons than those who have been around for 6...just looking at google sheet result tab. I'm in 4th but a step below WG and Qwigglez.

And 9 out of the 16 teams have turned over...so only 7 people have played all 6 seasons.

Golanator has the 5th most points in 5 seasons...so he beats out four managers with 6 seasons in one fewer season.

[Qwigglez]

Royce O'Neale

You around ?

[bwgood77]

Royce O'Neale

You around ?

Are you up for awhile?

[Slim Charless]

It just makes sense to skip him. If you guys have everyone's else picks. Just give him top waiver priority or something lol.

[bwgood77]

Yeah, I will soon. He should just name whoever he wants here when he shows up and we can add him before anyone picks up anyone else. I can turn waivers off, add him to his team, and then turn waivers back on.

It's getting late enough in Phoenix where it says he is next to his picture that if he hasn't made it within the next little bit, he probably won't make it within 12 hours anyway. It's been almost 8.

[bwgood77]

OK, it's been 10 hours so I don't imagine he will show up between 3:20 and 5:20 am Phx time to make it by the 12 hour mark so I will move ahead so we can finish.

Stix, if you don't pick before it ends, you will have #1 waiver spot.

8on via PM selects Jaxson Hayes

[Qwigglez]

I'll take Richaun Holmes

[bwgood77]

I'll take Richaun Holmes

Dang I almost forgot about him. He was like a top 40 fantasy player a couple years ago. I had him...I almost protected him hoping he'd get traded....I was considering protecting him or LeVert but both guys just fell too far down depth charts. It's amazing how a couple of solid contributors to a team can turn into so little. I won't be surprised though if Holmes does well, even just rotating as a 3rd big. I wonder if they even try playing him with Sabonis. It is the Kings.

Miyagi takes Shaedon Sharpe.

[bwgood77]

Stix, post or PM me your pick when you check the boards. Then I will make players free agents until tip off and waiver order will be set in reverse order of standings. I was thinking the draft order should have been that way too after the first round.

If you don't pick before tip off waivers will set with you at #1 and the rest in reverse.

[Qwigglez]

I have a lot of points because I max out the games played every year. I’m gunning to win with a team who isn’t built for that. I’ve come close with a few 2nd and 3rd place finishes but it doesn’t really help me as I don’t get a high draft pick. Oh well.

We'll probably do away with recording keeping like the points system in the future and stick to keeping records of things like best finishes, top 3 finishes, average placing etc. Points seems to be falling apart as more people leave and new managers take over their teams and transform them.

I like to see points and I think it makes people have the ultimate goal of winning championships and not always rebuilding so league stays competitive. We could combine owners who have taken over teams with previous owners to have a better idea of which "team" has the most points, even though there were a couple sets of teams who combined rosters and redrafted between them. It's like a team in the NBA changing owners

I think average placing accomplishes the same idea as total points (keeps people competitive) whilst not rewarding people for simply being in the league a long time, and will get more accurate (in terms of who is performing well) as more seasons elapse. Keeping track of best finishes also rewards managers for winning the championship (which is the most important thing), whilst not penalizing them for having rebuilding seasons - it's similar to real life: OKC fans won't give a **** about tanking if they win the championship

We should also probably remove the "worst finish" category as theoretically, given enough time, and if all managers keep improving their skills as managers, it's a given that everybody will eventually have seasons at the bottom of the latter.

And as we get more and more new managers coming in and replacing teams, it just makes less sense as team names continue to be changed by those new managers. There's just so little continuity once the managers begin to change their roster.

At the end of the day its preference, but I suspect that most managers wouldn't want their results tied to a previous manager.

Maybe. I doubt anyone (or many) pay attention to it. This was the first time I looked at it in awhile. I just found it interesting to look at. It's all formula driven anyway though. May want to get rid of that hashtag tab though. It looks outdated.

Yeah, probably less than half the league looks at the spreadsheet in general (most managers don't even bother to add their draft picks to the spreadsheet ).

I think cutting out a lot of the record keeping in the history tab, emphasizing just a few simple records for teams, and decoupling new mangers history from previous ones might make people more inclined to check it out.
