The response to the ticket I sent to admin is below..

WhatIfSports Admin (WhatIfSports) Apr 14, 9:43 PM CDT Hi Vance, He (pennsylvania) is not banned from posting in the forums, so I'm not clear on what the issue is. Thanks. Thanks for playing on WhatIfSports. Hey penn I hope that you are ok. Moving forward if you want to post whatever you want then just start your own commentary thread. Thanks

Unbelievable. "We're fine. We're all fine here now. How are you?"

He probably got PO'd and quit

For the sake of transparency I have included a sm to me from penn below. I have done all that I can do to get this fixed. Admin has generated a ticket #. I truly hope that this gets fixed and that penn can still particpate in the draft.

Any suggestions

WELL PLAYED - your intolerance to all things you don't agree with worked out real well ---

Well at least he should be able to proxy via SM for now, right?

Let's get back to the draft commentary.

I was actually going to take Paul Pressey for penn's team in the 4th round if I took over the team. The Alex English pick penn made in round 5 is perplexing to me as he has to be the SF. Anthony Mason and Derrick Favors is a very good defensive duo at the PF position but light on the boards.

Did any of you change your draft strategy based on dbkc's championship team last season? I know I did. I really like his current team.

Probably, because you guys made it really hard for me to draft how I wanted to this year, all of my guys keep getting sniped.

I totally backed myself into a corner with the Rodman and Camby picks. I think I made up for it though. I’m not particularly excited about my Nowitzki/Kobe picks, but I have 3 90+ defenders who can combine to cover all 5 positions. Rodman will grab a solid portion of Kobe’s questionable shot selection. Everyone is relatively clean. I’ll probably screw up with my bench, but I’m somewhat confident right now

You made a believer out of me. That's a solid, though quirky, quartet. The trick now is to find a distributor who can be an efficient third scorer.

Penn's teams almost always look light on the boards to me, but sometimes mysteriously manage to hold their own anyway.

thoughts?

I like it but you might have spent too many resources on USG and not enough on ORB. Granted, I haven’t seen the full starting 5, so that’s just based on the 4 you have. Looks good overall.

spend? I'll be lucky to draft under 21000 minutes but you're not wrong about skimping on ORBDs... (that's actually a concern)

Super efficient. Passing might hurt you the most.
