If you're capping it at 8 I guess I can jump in.

Would you play a non draft game version?

How would it work? How would you ensure the teams weren’t similar-ish?

I dunno. As JP illustrates fundamentally changing the premise folks have already signed up for usually isn’t a great idea.

I meant one where you just put together the best team you can and vote by rankings

I will start it with regular draft and 8 in a few hours

The clock will start at 9 PM ET unless it runs out for an overseas player

Trying to give Stan a little more time, I'll pick in an hour if he hasn't shown up by then.

I guess we can drop Stan from the worksheet?

Stan's drop had a huge impact on the top end talent depth. I thought Tatum, Luka and SGA would be gone by my pick (didn't expect Towns to be picked so early), and eventually I was able to pick between all of them.

Yah I had a list of some B level talent haha. Did not think I’d be looking to add Luka

LeBron falling to 9 is crazy imo, his 2020 was elite. Jokic was the clear #1 I thought then I figured it’d be one of LeBron/Kawhi/Giannis with seasons they have to be picked.
