I have snagged enough B/B+ minutes at this point where after my next pick, I should have pretty close to a decent/above average 240 with all 5 teams. Hoping to just add short count studs from there on out.

Also: enough boards (enough anything) in this league doesn’t exist. It’s uncapped. Go for broke. One of my big mistakes in the first version was building a team with what I thought was enough boards & dimes.

I was wrong and finished like 15th

Yes, never enough. My teams will likely be averaging a full ~15% or so more DREB% and AST% each and like, I actually drafted a single offensive board this time around.

Technically, my starting lineup DREB% was mostly decent last season, but except for Gilmore and like two seasons of G Wallace, all my good players only played between like 18-28 MPG.

I’m excited to play around with lineups now that I picked Ray. Might get 5x70% ast, 100% drb sls now.

I think a mix of B/B+ minutes & A low minutes is probably the best you could do in this league. Many of those lower minute studs have already been grabbed now... but many have not!

I'm east coast so if anyone is different time zone and would like to take a proxy I have one name - in case Mikee picks and you wanna keep the momentum going....I'll still be up for couple hours and will check in here and there...

Nevermind, looks like you go to bed the same time I do.

I did it backwards this time around. I have no idea if it will work or not but my first 4 picks are all pretty low on minutes (Curry, Kemp, Simmons, Noah) and I’ve been drafting bigger minute guys lately (Bo Outlaw, Willis Reed, Josh Smith, George Gervin).

I put together a test run of what would be my worst team (worst Curry, worst Kemp, no Simmons..but best Reed, best Smith, best Noah) and it’s about as good as a DH52 team, so I think I’m in good shape. Knock on wood.

A line I love is appropriate here (one of my favorite rappers featured on a track from my all time favorite):
"I seen his feet and they both lefty, he steppin' half correctly"

In case you are interested, I am in a super weird John Maus phase tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfFCb1y0WfA

But please @ me if you want to talk about MF Doom from above. My lord and savior.

Man...I loved DOOM so so much. He’s frustrating because he does some incredible things with multi syllabic rhymes but then sometimes he forces weird phrases for the sake of rhyme and sometimes he writes with too many syllables for the meter and it’s sloppy, just because he wanted more rhyming syllables. However in the end it’s worth it because he’s thought of some absolutely amazing rhymes throughout the years. He is a decent producer and has a good ear for picking beats, working with Madlib (my fav producer), Danger Mouse, and the guys who did Viktor Vaughn are all great producers.

Favorite DOOM album? (I gotta go with Madvillain)

So I did a ton of research during season 1, kept a running tally on my prospective teams percentages, minutes and such after every draft pick and probably overthought things at times.

This time around, I've spent almost no time researching outside of the first two rounds, picked off instinct and don't have any of my teams set up so I really wouldn't be surprised at a fall to mediocrity.
