Please add me to the private thread. Thanks

This is painfully slow. Not criticizing anyone, it's my own impatience, but slow nonetheless...

I submitted my pick last night but not up there yet. However, I'm not one to talk as it took me a few hours to even be able to have time to get on and make my pick. So I totally get it. One question....is there a reason the team owner can't post their own pick? It might speed things up since we all have obligations that prevent us from being on the BY 24/7. It would cut out one more step and then champ can run the thing after the teams are picked? The draft thread would only be for placing your pick and that's it. Whoever is moderating the thread could delete anything extra. Just food for thought.
 
I apologize for the pace of the draft - it is partially my fault as I had to hit the hey early last night and then take care of some things this morning. The game two thread has been updated, and I'm still waiting to hear back from Carlos (who will be replaced if he doesn't respond by 2 PM this afternoon - anybody who wants to be an alternative, let me know).

Well at least you can talk about it - I've added you to the private Direct Message discussion.

Can you add me to the direct message discussion too? Thanks

Imagine if they made you draft a coach too! Would Calhoun go #1? How do you even evaluate that? If anything, it would certainly lead to some interesting arguments come game time...

There aren't enough decent ones to go around.

Calhoun has to go first.

Then you have Ollie, Hugh Greer, Dee Rowe. Those would all be solid enough choices.

Then who do you go with? After 1 HOF, 1 possible future HOF, and two very good coaches, you dip into the weaker options. Perno? Wigton? Trying to get to 8 would be painful. And god help the fool stuck with Perno.

Ha ah! This is definitely what have you done for me lately. I'll take one of the Top 5 coaches in the history of college basketball thank you very much.

I think my point wasn't clear. Obviously Calhoun would be the first coach taken. I was wondering whether you take a coach #1 overall before any player, knowing that you would be stuck with a second tier player as your star. It's the age old question about value of coach vs quality of players...

Ahhh. Now I see. I'd go top players first, then a few of the coaches or two, then filler players. JMO though.

Now that both guys have been taken in both drafts, I have to say that I am shocked that Bazz was picked ahead of Kemba twice.

I was as well, considering we're drafting based on peak and not body of work. I could see an argument that Bazz had the overall better career, but to argue that he had the better season is much tougher.

Added you to the discussion thread....
 
Il take Khalid El Amin, Ed Nelson, Shabazz Napier, Rashad Anderson, and Travis Knight against any 5 you throw at me.
 
Long time lurker. Wish I got in on this it's a great idea. Too bad a lot of the discussion is being kept private.

Ask jleves to add you to the private discussion. It'll all come out eventually, anyway.

Can someone clarify for me whether a 3 guard 2 forward lineup is allowed or if I have to pick a strict PG SG SF PF C?

You can pick whoever the hell you want. But if you have a lineup of 5 guys who are 6'7 and below, there's a good chance the Yard is going to be skeptical of your chances.

Yeah lol. Thanks for the quick response.
 
Having the #1 pick is excruciating. I have to wait for 14 more picks before I get another chance.
 
My hope is we can finish this thing up no later than Saturday (though obviously it would be preferable to end sooner) so we can start the match-ups next week.
