Well some major sfs made it past sg/of rounds

Yes, they did.  Only one that really surprises me, though.  If he doesn't go #1 in the fifth round I'll eat my shoe.

he may not fit well with some of the teams at the top of that round though..wouldnt be surprised to see him drop some

yep maybe he can drop to me :)

that was a gift sawtech...I am very confused by the Cowens pick....I loved Big Red, but he is a foul monster in the sim...he 's worse than Olajuwon.

Kareem had been my first pick.

Only my third season.  

Do have a particular threshold for Fouls.  I had regarded anything less than 4.0 as being acceptable, if only one or two players are above 3.0.  What standard do you use?

For me its a moving target depending on how often my team will get to the line.  I try to keep the fouls low but if sucessful in 3 of my starters I can go for a over 6 fouls per 48 minute player if he fills my other needs.  Just rememeber one thing, discount the amount of fouls by 20-25%.  On getting to the line and causing fouls.  The SIM will not add up to what the stats say.

Gentlemen, try to keep most of this discussion over in the commentary thread, so it's easy for busy drafters to see at a quick glance where the draft is at - who's up, who's been taken, etc.  Thanks!

Doubt anybody is interested, but:


If anyone would like to exhcange their upcoming C pick for my high (#7 in the round) SF pick let me know.

73. sappy - Wilt Chamberlain
74. scudmissle - David Robinson 
75. felonius - Shaquille O'Neal
76. dspahlinger - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
77. caldreaming - Dave Cowens
78. eleibowitz - Bob Lanier
79. sawtech7 - Artis Gilmore
80. badja- Tyson Chandler
81. jakotay - 5:00-6:00 pm -
82. rizitos - 6:00-7:00 pm -
83. steelers821 - 7:00-8:00 pm -
84. sweg - Bill Walton

going back to bed

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  I think we all should go to sleep the way these picks are going

Did anyone sitemail jakotay?

I've now sitemailed jakotay through sweg, to remind them of the draft timing.  jakotay and rizitos have been skipped, and steelers is up.

I site mailed both when I picked.

Well this is super annoying:


I had agreed with steelers to exchange 4th and 5th round picks at around 1.45 EDT. However, he has never opened the sitemail I sent backto him so I don't believe the agreement is in effect yet. To top it all off, we are getting asshammered at work so it is a little tricky checking on my Blackberry. I will check back later when I can.

Very tough decision with so many good players left to pick from, but I think I'll go with The Big Redhead - Bill Walton
