It seems like it's mostly BAT veterans with the late first round picks. If you're hoping for "your guy" to fall past the late 1st round/early 2nd round, think again. Too much experience among the participants.

I remember in the last one, some crazy guys falling too far down. This one will be much more normal/expected.

You, me, swiss, subway token, moocow are all picking late in the 1st round, i think most of us have been in BAT since the very 1st one.

The worst place to be in is picking somewhere in the late teens (#15 and #16 picks aren't bad because you pick every 30 picks or so). It's a lot easier to strategize when you're either picking at the very top or the very bottom (which means you have consecutive picks).

You're at #22. I'm only talking talking about guys with picks #25 to #30. #22 is a tough spot to be in. You have to wait through 18 picks until you pick again, and if it's mostly veterans making the picks, then whoever you think everyone is sleeping on is likely not being slept on.

I think the whole "veteran" aspect is completely overrated. It's not helping nor hindering you at all really, it boils down to if you have a plan in mind.

Sent you an offer/email, and also the picks in your sig don't match the ones in the spreadsheet.

Yeah, I have a plan that will most definitely get killed in judging, but if played on a court would field a 50 win roster and playing in the ECF.

It depends on the person I guess. I remember my first BAT, I was horrible with both picks and trades. Then I improved in the 2nd one(but still made foolish moves), and hopefully now I'm a little better than before :lol:

Says the man who landed Lebron James, this obviously does not affect you. :lol:

Your picks are in there.

And I sent you an offer.

I've been in three or four of these BAT's and rarely made any trades because I had an idea of what type of players. I've always thought I fielded good/great teams considering I always picked at the end of the first round. Damn sure I think I have a layup with the first overall pick in this one.

Mecca · Post #320 » by **Mecca** » Fri May 24, 2013 10:38 pm

Very curious to see where all the injured players are going in the draft. I regrettably took Rose and Iman in a recent BAT during their ACL injuries and not a single judge took my team seriously. All I gotta say is, NEVER AGAIN.
