Re: 2000s Draft Redux - Discussion
By my estimation this pool has 11 first rounders, for whatever that's worth.

Re: 2000s Draft Redux - Discussion
We should probably do relatively simple drafts like this more often, alternate them with the more complex ideas.
I don't know if the more restricted drafts we do are all that accessible for new players.

6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I already capped it in 11. Shame this pool will struggle to accommodate more. If Fifii misses his pick, I'll let Laimbeer in to replace him and extend the clock a bit. I will add Jimmy to replacement waiting list as well.

Second thought, me and Fade counted 11 legit first options. If you guys are up for that, I can put you in the last spots (12-13), of course unless I'm putting you in instead of Fifii.

Prediction: one of the guys in the title picture will go undrafted. Zero points for guessing which.
It's a fairly interesting pool, as it catches the early years of many 2010s icons while also having some 90s holdovers.
Which one would it be?

I won't lie, I was kinda trying to stir the pot with that remark.
I didn't think someone would take up the challenge with the very first pick though.

I'm excited to see how fifi builds around AI.
I love Iverson, but he is both expensive and difficult to build around. Fun challenge that I have taken on a couple of times (and been voted out in the first round each time)
