This is good to hear. I did wonder beforehand if it would be more suited to a smaller group of managers rather than the usual 16.

I like when player pools get this shallow. Sometimes everyone having elite role players rounding out their bench gets old. I like the fact that crappy players are forced onto teams like in this game.

Agree 1000%.

I feel the same way. Even the Warriors only have four All-stars, but it feels like a minimum requirement in a lot of our games.

Even in this game, depending on the route I take with my exception, I could still start 5 all NBA and or all defensive guys.

How much better can Magic make the teammates I've given him?

Surprised to see Laimbeer missing a pick, I don't think that's happened before as he's usually on top of the ball with his picks..hope everything is okay!

Man it's going to be weird if the exception rule leads to a certain pair of international players not being selected. :-?

Ugh. It's all on me, some real life stuff came up. Delly and Reggie were two guys I was considering.

Any point guard suggestions are welcome (assuming any are left). :-?

Inbox open.

Got a couple of things to tend to and then I'll have a look. It might be a while.

Hate to do this but since laimbeer missed another pick his time is up (1 hour only). In order to move things along,

I thought about Rudy on my last pick and was going to take him with my next. Nice pick-up! Wish he coulda stuck around in the league.

Thanks I wonder why Rudy didn't last in the NBA.
