re: 19-20... I like that Kemba... might pair that one with the 1900 minute Kyrie.

That Mason Plumlee is not what I was envisioning when I picked him. Thought he'd end up with a reasonable SF rating since his last three years were all 96%+. Now he's an 89%? I rolled the dice and lost on that one.

oh, hey, Javale's 19-20 is legit, too. I had one Javale season I was going to be forced to use that I wasn't crazy about, but this makes up for it... well, the usage is wrong, but I can probably make it work.

Jesus...once Giannis wins DPOY and they adjust his D rating...is that the best player in the sim on a per-minute basis?...

Gonna be up there if he isn't. You can bet your *** I'm planning on running it once they do the all-defensive adjustments. It'll add half a million MAX to his salary (probably won't be more than $200k or $300k), and that is going to be silly good.

I think we will have an open competition on my worst team with Luka's rookie season and Baron Davis for backup PG duties...

6th round pick...

Not great

Another 100 D season for AD, just what Ben needed.

I probably didn't pick as many guys with good 19-20 seasons as I should have, but glad I went with Gordon Hayward. Would've preferred 50+ D, but the rest of the package is great. May also end up using that Millsap season, even at only 1400 minutes. And how about those 350 minutes of Kyle O'Quinn??? 38 CRB% and 19% ast!!

the bold are justly rewarded

Hmm... I'm definitely using Kawhi, Tatum and Sabonis', but do I use Chris Paul's 19-20 season? It's a different build than most of his other seasons but I really like it.

Dame, Whiteside, Jonas, and Jarrett Allen 19-20s are likely to start for me with CJs being a backup

Yes, that 19-20 George Hill season was the tipping point with 62% efg was too hard to pass up. He showed up when I was looking at Hinrich and Nick Anderson too. Plenty of catch and shoot 3 point shooters in that 19-20 cohort.

amerk1180 is really good about sending proxies.

I am one who does not refresh his laptop every minute. His time would be lower if he had someone drafting behind him who refreshes more often than me.

Thanks pharrop! I was thinking the same thing.

I wish you well. I want to respect your wishes of not being criticized on this site. I understand that things feel personal sometimes. Please stop forcing yourself in to these victim narrative.

everyone likes you. You are great. You are also making things extremely difficult.

this

bds, if ANYONE knows more about critical reviews in most evals, it's ME. In all my leagues I have ever played in (ODL, DH52; Savage; DDL), I don't think I have EVER, not ONCE, had a really positive evaluation of my drafted team. I'm talking like "amerk really KILLED this draft! He has to be one of the favorites to win this league". I have had mostly "some positive/some negative" reviews, with a few "if things fall right, amerk can make the playoffs", or that kind of thing. Some have been pretty harsh.

Anyways, I like to read them about my team. Some times, they make me laugh. Some times, I agree with them. And sometimes, I get angered because I thought I drafted a really good team! In that case, I say to myself, "well ok _______, I'll show you!". Sadly, most of the times THAT happens, they are almost ALWAYS right and I finish around .500 at best. Actually, the evals for my last Savage draft weren't that bad...and it turns out, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN! I actually WISH that ash had BLASTED my draft, cuz it might have made my teams performance easier to swallow lol.

I don't know what I am actually saying to you....but just take it as not being personal, and if it's a slight to your drafting, use it as a motivator. Hopefully, YOU'LL be the one who is right!

The only thing I'm going to say from this point on, is what I call The Doctrine. If you'd like me to repeat it, please bring up any of the topics I've mentioned in the last two days. Otherwise, do not mention any of that, and don't quote Beavis or Butthead, or I will probably say something about the planet Neptune, or maybe the Andromeda Galaxy.

My favorite part is where the crazy guy that keeps bringing it up tells other people what they can & can’t say. I guess since he started the thread he has that right...

Oh.

Wait.

Haven’t been able to follow this thread much tonight because......


Rip City Baby!

Both one seeds losing today. Pretty nuts.
