Cool, thanks. I just think that thread should be cleaner because it's easier to keep track of picks that way.

Neat, I didn't know that.

ronnymac2 wrote:Full judge's disclosure before posters start picking:

1. I'm pretty lenient about pre-1980 players using the 3-point shot effectively. I mean, keep it within reason. Don't tell me your guy is making 5 3-pointers per game at a 45% clip. But all you need to do is point to some basic evidence that a guy would be at least a threat from 3-point range, and I'll probably be cool with that.

2. I'm pretty familiar with most ABA guys, especially the ones that will likely be useable in a tourney like this. There are a few hidden gems in the ABA that are perfect for this format actually.

3. I appreciate 3-point shooting to create spacing, but I also appreciate creating spacing through means other than 3-point shooting. Pick-n-roll finishers, cutters, offensive rebounding machines, great passers, floor generals, elite screen-setters, etc.

4. Pre-shot clock players who proved they were great against 1960's megastars are cool. I am skeptical about pre-shot clock players who did not compete against 1960's megastars or who looked way worse once 1960's megastars entered the fray. It doesn't mean I'm not open to them excelling in certain roles here if explained well enough.

5. Have fun. Talk trash. Learn. Build some sweet-ass teams. Enjoy.

Cool, thanks.

I'm turning in for the night. Quotatious and/or Dr Spaceman, can you lads handle things while I snooze?

I didn't expect that pick by MJ.

Man, this is a tough second pick. I'm torn between so many options.

Sometimes, a man has to do what a man has to do.

Just FYI, in the future it's bad form to talk about anyone still on the board. Right now it obviously doesn't matter, but in the future it will.

I totally relate to the agony of this choice though. And I think Doc was feeling the same. I was desperately hoping I wouldn't get one of the top picks, because I think there's a big disconnect between the most dominant players and the most build-around-able in a game like this.

No problem. Might be wise to edit those posts though. Not a huge deal.

Part of it is that I'd rather not build a team the way LeBron likes to play. But y'know, last time I made my Bird-West read & react team. I should push myself to do something else anyway, and realistically if LeBron & the Cavs can even put up a good fight against the Warriors, it's hard to go against him here.

I have sent my big board to these two (the organiser and the person picking after me) as I'm in Europe, have to work in the morning and don't want to hold up the draft.

I will be watching the Cavs game from 1am EST and will pick myself if not OTC before that.

Surprise pick from me?

eminence · Post #117 » by **eminence** » Sun May 21, 2017 11:05 pm

Don't think any of the picks have been too surprising yet, biggest was probably just Doc going Lebron (due to his preferences, not Lebron's skill level, which is absolutely deserving of #1).

Just went through my personal preferences, and whew, goes just far enough to get me a second guy and then poof, no idea where to go. Will have to see who's available by the time I roll around though, many picks until then.

Colbinii · Post #118 » by **Colbinii** » Sun May 21, 2017 11:35 pm

I picked. I was out of town this weekend as my friend had an album release show in a different city.

Good luck boys!

Would anyone be averse to reducing the pick window to 6 hours to get this moving faster?

It should be fine, although maybe it's best to wait until the first round is over. It's possible some people simply haven't logged in to see we've started.

We could also think about switching to appointment drafting in the later rounds. That way we can set a shorter time limit because everyone will be drafting during a consistent window.
