1 FREE TEAM for the winner!
_
I set the over/under of each team based on the owner's wins per season over the last 16 seasons. I round to the nearest .5 (So if you have averaged 44.6 wins, then the over/under is 44.5). I go to the nearest .5 so that there can be no pushes. Only for owners who have an exact number for their average wins will I keep it at a whole number. For the new owners to the ODL, I averaged the win totals from the twelve owners in my records who have only played 1 season.

In retrospect, having the commissioner as part of the division draft, when he can see all the teams already entered, puts the other three drafters at a disadvantage.

I am still pretty happy with my division though. No great teams and a talkative bunch.

I’ll repost my over unders after teams are done making edits.

I had my list made before seeing any of the teams. But this is a good point and if I am in the draft again, I will send out my list ahead of time to another owner for confirmation.

Yeah, I am not accusing anyone of anything nefarious by the way.

I originally had you pegged for slightly under, but not after seeing that division.

I wonder what your offline lives are like.

Let's say what I do for work requires some shared skills with what this site requires.

Owner	Over Under	Bet	Lock	Comments
robusk	51	O		This line feels a little high. But rebounding is the only weakness on this team and without a great division is should sneak over.
tcdahn_7	36.5	U		Yikes.
bds9992	36.5	U		Meh. Not enough threes. Spent too much on starter usage
cjok1051	38.5	U		The core is fine. But the team is going to get eaten up by PFs in a PF heavy division and the deep bench is hot garbage.
mikee1	35.5	O		That is a rough combination of lots of fouls, turnovers and medicore defense. But good elsewhere and a mediocre division.
gerryred	41	O		Somehow a good owner build a team with only two rebounders. I am not confident in this over but not a lot of other weaknesses and it’s a better team than the others in the division.
sappy	36.5	O		That’s a lot of minutes and not a lot of turnovers. Pretty balanced team.
dbkc	36.5	U		No.
midzim	46.5	U		If midzim basically drafted all his players one round later when they would have been available, and drafted a sud first rounder… man this team would be good
pharrop	45	O		The fouls and Tos aren't great. But otherwise this team is fine. The line is a little high but I will gamble on the over.
dh555	46.5	U		DH is a top SLB coach and I like almst everyone on his team. Actually like 11/12 are fine. But Harden is such an anchor and this line is so high… I will take just barely the under.
copernicus	40.5	O		Good defense. Kind of medicore everywhere else. But it should be enough to creep over .500
benhoidal	51.5	O		This isn't ben's best team. The are obvious strength's in shooting %'s, defense, rebounding… but the passing might make me pause on a high line like that. But holy hell, this division is amazingly poor.
jhsukow	37.5	U	YES	Bruh. Not enough minutes.
mptrey	36.5	U		Not the Russell season I would have used and you are going to get roasted by opposing guards, but a lot of good parts.
rubnsly	34.5	O		rubnsly is usually a good drafter but it tends to not go as well in when the seasons starts. Too many free wins in this division to go below his line
tau1624	36.5	O	YES	Not quite the shooting I would like but this is a very good team.
midge	43.5	U	YES	Get. On. Them. Minutes.
24kpyrite	43	O		This team fouls a lot but I am kind of picking nits there. Good team.
uptowngbv	37.5	U		There is a lot not to like here. I don't like Wade, Ewing, Ruland, Hardaway… but there are some good pieces. This division is too tough though.
ysw128	41.5	U		He's got LeBron who is awesome. I really don't like many of the other core pieces. Wallace, Faried and Smith are fine.
ncmusician_7	45	U		This is a good team. I just think 45 wins is a lot to try and hit in this division.
jkaye24	44.5	O		Might be pushing it minutes wise but this team does a lot of things really well.
jcred5	43.5	O		The shooting, fouls and turnovers aren't great… but this team should compensate with everything else it does well.

I would say my job provides my access to the internet, a device and drives me to seek this distraction often. very, very often...

And I love this by the way. We should make this a staple, with or without the free team.
