The Pacer Board Mock Draft Sign Up

[count55]

Still sorting out how to do this, but I thought we could maybe do our own mock draft here. I'd like to get a number of posters, randomly assign them draft picks (or teams, we'll see) and do the first round here...then see how close we get.

PR07 or someone will probably set up a Mock Draft Contest for draft night, but I always think it's interesting when you have multiple people doing a mock together. It removes most possibility for someone to (subconsciously perhaps) maneuver earlier picks to make a player available for a later team, and prevents a skewed perspective on any certain player.

So, let me know if you're interested...I thought we'd see who was interested in doing it, then get everybody assigned sometime next week, and get started so we could be completed by no later than Monday on the week of the draft (June 23).

Anybody interested?

[FreeRon]

I'm in.

[massey1992]

I think we'll probably assign teams, rather than picks. So, for example, whoever gets the Nets would have both of their first rounders. This would make it more consistent in thought process.

[mizzoupacers]

I'll do it, sounds like a fun excuse to look into what other teams might do.

[APerna]

I think just first round is perfect, and as always I'm in...

[bballpacen]

Sign me up...

[Dcbaseballer52]

I will do it if there are enough spots open

So wait, we aren't each doing our own? Its like a group mock draft sorta?

[massey1992]

When will this start?

[PR07]

I'm in. Nice idea Count.

Also, may I have the honor of starting the draft day contest again, por favor?

[pacershereiam]

I am in too. This sounds like fun. I don't mind doing the Cleveland Cavaliers since I live in Ohio and I watch them enough, I know what they need and stuff. Whatever team you need me to do I will though. Thanks

[count55]

I'm in. Nice idea Count.

Also, permission to start the draft day contest again?

Thanks...no need to ask my permission.

To clarify once again, we're going to do a "Group" mock with different posters making picks for different teams. Right now, we have:

FreeRon
massey1992
DGrangeRx33
blaha112
darkflashfox
mizzou
PP
bballpacen
dcbaseballer52
PR07
pacersheriam
count55

we can take maybe one more guy, which would put us in a position to basically have each person pick two (3 teams have no pick, Atlanta, Dallas, Lakers).

PR07 will run the draft day contest where everybody does their own mock, but this will make for some nice interplay.

It looks like we'll have this finalized today, and we'll start it either tomorrow or Sunday and conduct it over the next week or so. We have plenty of time.

[ahartleyvu]

I'll take the last spot, please.

If we get to pick our teams, I'll go with the NY Knicks.

[cdash]

Ahhh...man. I wanted in. Boo.

[count55]

OK...we'll go with 15...ahartleyvu and cdash are in...we need one more...and we'll plan on doing both rounds, two teams each (some will only have 2nd rounders...)

We're not going to pick teams...I'll draw them randomly and let you know.

[Grang33r]

sounds like fun, i'm in.
