2012 D-League Draft Thread

RealGM Suns D-League
there will be a few posts in a row here with different information

Draft Start Time
Currently drafting!

Time Limit per Pick
10 hours
REMINDER: if you know you'll be unavailable due to sleep, work, etc, and your pick is coming up you are encouraged to give someone a list of your choices in order (you can always PM them to a Mod, or I know some people can text each other etc), so they can announce your pick and keep the draft going.

Draft Order
See the next post for the final order. This is a snake draft, so the first round goes by the order below, and for the second round the order reverses and so on. I used the same method as NF33IH did for the Premier League: DraftPickLottery.com, entered our league name, then team names and clicked "Submit!" one time)

Rules

-If your 10 hours for your pick run out, no player will be automatically selected for your team. You will need to make your pick as soon as you get back to the board.

-Picks are final. Once a pick is posted, you cannot change the pick - even if the next person hasn't picked yet.

-Trades can be made for any pick that is not yet on the clock. Once you're on the clock, you cannot trade that pick anymore.

-Trades can include picks from any round and/or players that have already been drafted. The only limitation is that the same number of pieces is traded by each side. This could be 1 pick for 1 player, 2 picks for 2 other picks, etc.

-Any trade made during the draft can be overruled by a majority vote (at least 7 players) by contesting the trade via the forum (posting or PMing a Mod). Trades made once the draft is complete can be vetoed through Yahoo.

League is now full! I will announce the draft order in a couple hours, at which point we can start picking.

Post #8 » by **Miklo** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 4:51 pm

And the draft begins!

See the draft order in the second post of this thread, as well as on the Draft Results post.

We will begin with a 24-hour clock for each pick in the first round, to give people time to realize we're starting. Please make your pick WAY before 24 hours as that's only a worst-case scenario!

I will be keeping the thread title updated with the next person or couple people up. However, please monitor this thread even if your name doesn't appear there, in case I get tied up at work or fall asleep before updating the title. I may remove usernames from the thread title if I will be away/asleep for a while, to avoid confusion.

It's killing me, but I'll have to pass on Kobe and hope to trade for him later.

I'll take LeBron James.

Anyone want to trade an early second round draft pick? I'll trade my 2nd & 3rd for your 2nd & 3rd.

The picture needs to be online (you can upload something with imgur, tinypic etc if you want), and then you get the URL for the image (should end with the actual filename like /example.jpg, etc) and paste it in your post between the IMG tags (you can click Img at the top of the post box to surround it with the tags).

Finished product:

JJ REDICKKKKKKKKK!!!

Out of curiosity, what helped you decide on LBJ over KD? I spent a ton of time racking my brain on which I'd pick if I got 1st pick, and think both would be viable first selections for different reasons.

Allrighty, no brainer for me!

Yeah, I went back and forth between KD and LeBron.

KD gets you more threes & FT%, while LBJ gives you more steals, assists & FG%. I felt James was more balanced statistically, plus he can fill SF or PF. There's really no wrong choice between the two IMO.

mirv · Post #17 » by **mirv** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 12:01 am

Alright then,

I'll take Chris Paul

Post #18 » by **Miklo** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 12:35 am

Now that everyone has signed up in Yahoo, I finalized the draft order and am entering picks there. As I update picks, you can see them reflected in the "Players" tab in Yahoo - the player pool no longer shows the selected players.

Miami4Ever · Post #19 » by **Miami4Ever** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 1:49 am

I'll take my boy Dwyane Wade.

Post #20 » by **Miklo** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 2:10 am

Via PM, grumpysaddle selects...

Deron Williams!

And with that, Lawson is on the clock!
