Yeah my mistake, I posted before reading the rest of the thread.

I thought draft order was based on order of signup?
Yeah, so you have 8-9. Not a terrible place to be. #1 pick feels like it has an obvious choice. The mid-first round (where you don't know who will be left when it comes around to you) feels like a tough spot.

Maybe not so obvious since Tenspro took Emeka with #1. He must be an NBA GM, they always go for size. I bet he does all right as he'll be able to get Taliek in late rounds as his PG.

Well, to me that seems like the obvious #1 choice. :)

Go back and look at the order. I was like the 5th or 6th person. It's all good though.

I know who I wanna pick...it's a tough call. However, quick question, what determines a players position? I'm assuming we need to have a player at each position? You said earlier no drafting 5 guards!

You can draft whoever you want - play John Gwynn at center for all anyone cares. But people will judge how good your team is by, well, how good your team is. A balanced starting 5 and two smart subs will probably get the most love.

Whoever you pick is no big deal. You just have to have them all on the court as if they were a real team. Want to play small--make the argument.

You are 6th. My mistake. Initially, when it was posted, there were only 6 people, and you were the last to sign up. Two wen on after you.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Keep the strategy stuff on the private thread. I've added you to the private convo.

It's fine either way, just let me know if I'm 6th or 8th so I know when to pick.
 
What client is this on? And is it mobile accessible?
You're in the game - you can't participate in the strategy discussion. That's the point of keeping it off here.
 
Is there going to be a place for us to defend/justify our draft picks? I think that a running convo, including the "owners" should be had but it seems like anytime someone comments it gets shut down and told to move to the strategy convo where non-draftee folks are talking. Don't mean this as a slight jleves. Just was curious if this convo will be had as I would love to know what others are thinking with their picks.

Does this mean there won't be a place for the public at large to ridicule my picks?

Also, where is that private "strategy" thread?

I hope you guys can make an argument for your own team. I am looking forward to your first positive UConn prognostication.
 
Just as a clarification, when picks are made they'll be immediately updated into the stickied threads, correct?

You get a statement for each matchup for why your team would win. If you want to start an owners debate Direct Message thread like we have going, there's nothing to stop you. The basic idea is other than your statement for why your team would win, it was kind of the intention that you pick and let the board debate. Just like a coach puts his team together and lets them do the talking on the court.
 
Keeping the convos private is silly. The fun in this is based around arguing your position and providing relevant material - statline, signature game, any youtube compilations available, etc.

Just putting a name out there is boring.

you can do that in your post about why your team is better than the other.

Damn wish I saw this yesterday would have loved to get in
Well at least you can talk about it - I've added you to the private Direct Message discussion.

And for the record - we're only keeping the draft strategy private.
 
I just want to know the team rosters and the game results. Is there any way you can post that info so we can see it?
 
Please add me to the private thread. Thanks

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