I cannot maintain the spreadsheet at this time. But any of you who want to can simply use the "copy this spreadsheet" command in the google docs file menu and update it from there. Go into "sharing" to let others view it, and then post the link.

Probably wont matter, BwW will probably have rosters input soon anyway.
Thanks for doing the spreadsheet though Floppy! It made things so much easier to keep track of.

Nah, I'll just wait for you to drop him.

I don't have much time this week, but to tease, I'll give my bottom three in no particular order with minimal comments just to stir some discussion.

jfrost, woody, and 3si

jfrost has built a Dwight team with good fits in Smoove, Rondo, Iggy, and Chandler to round out his first five picks. It's not clear when Rondo will be back and how he will recover which can be particularly tough when the backup PGs are just Nate Rob and Rivers. Also, bigs seem overdrafted that there isn't much else outside of boards, blocks, and fg%. Assists will be good once Rondo is back.

With woody's team, he has good players that do good things and he's drafted them at good spots (or made good trade for Rubio), but I just don't think it adds up to enough strengths. I think steals is his best category, and assists should be good because of Rubio and Jennings, but it seems like there are only two strong players for most categories besides steals. Hibbert and Wright for blocks, Hibbert and Cousins for rebounds, Hayward and Jennings for threes (though specialist Novak could help). Free throw % should be good too.

For 3si, no category strikes me as dominant. Above average, but not elite, in scoring, boards, blocks, and ft%. Weak to average elsewhere. Three rookies in Burke, Zeller, and Buycks, so there is uncertainty.

Feel free to disagree, but some teams have to be at the bottom.

Hey look, I'm not in Ham's bottom 3! So relieved.

[Woody Allen]

I always get ranked in the bottom 3. Even in the season I finished first and made it to the finals, the consensus on my team was that I was bad at 4 cats and below average at the remaining 5.

[jazzfan1971]

I was kinda hoping to be ranked last. Nowhere to go but up from there.

[bww78]

Ok, rosters inputted. Sheesh, that's always such a chore.

Only one open issue: TK, I'm missing one of your players. Will you check your roster and let me know who I missed?

Thanks guys.

[hamncheese]

Thank you! Must be a chore with 20 teams. Didn't tk trade off a draft pick? jazzfan ended up with an extra pick.

[sabonis]

mccolum is a FA but someone drafted him

Nice job, thanks for taking care of that!

As for TK, he should have one open roster spot because of the 3-2 trade with Jazz.

Regarding C.J. McCollum: JFrost has him. It appears Ray McCollum is currently on his roster. Easy mix-up. I believe the ESPN announcers made the same mistake during the live draft in June.

In other news, I am still in need of a SF, and am dangling Greivis Vasquez. If interested, drop me an email at squirrelzipper at yahoo, or send an offer via the league.
