98avg needs to select a slot unless I am missing a post somewhere.

As stated above, no picks until the order is determined. Slot selection could be altered based on posted picks. For the same reason we do not discuss players not yet picked in the forum, we will wait for the draft order to be finalized.

HEY! Thanks. Completely got be me. No wonder he isn;t responding. Sorry.... updating and allowing picks in a few moments!

o.k. all set. I have updated the round one draft schedule to reflect the final draft order.

picks can be made without skips. We are on the clock tomorrow though....

proxy if desired. running a few errands and will fill in rounds 2 and 4-6 around lunch time (EST).

Thanks!!!

This may be a little late to be asking, but I'm at a slight disadvantage do to never having seen a team in this league before.



If somebody could maybe give me an example roster of a team that played a season in the League, good year or bad, I would appreciate it.

Also, and this may be cheating a little bit, what do you'll think about the middle of round one, point guard or center?

As to your first question - in the theme league owner's forum, look for the thread from the last draft - if you go back a year you can probably find the last 2 or 3 draft threads. They'll be titled 'ODL XXXIII Draft" or whatever the number is.You'll be able to see every pick listed on the front page.


As to your second question - it's actually against league rules to discuss players who haven't been drafted (no harm no foul, and it's your first time). But the old draft threads should give you a pretty good idea what you're looking for.

Can we discuss the MLB players for 1959-60? Because the Beer league is having it's draft right now as well. Gibson-Marichal-McCovey-Santo were the 1st 4 picks, no surprise there. After that the draft got a little wiggy.



And if I weren't having enough fun, I have not one, but two, HBD teams in rollover.



Anyway, thanks for the (rather obvious) tip on looking at past drafts.

I guess I will try to build a team around Wilt. I have never had him before so it should be interesting.

Dennis Rodman - the last time I won any league was years ago, with a completely different sim, but I think the Worm was my MVP

PF - Charles Barkley

smail shap

scud you bastid! I knew I wasn't going to get him 2 drafts in a row, though =p

ROBO - also check out the past ODL commentary threads. You'll see a lot more analysis as to why some picks were good, some were bad and see how teams start to take shape. You'll also see a lot of guesswork, but it should help you out a lot when starting this process.

A chance for Rodman/Moses/Barkley to fall is the only reason I took the 9 slot. Usually take the turn so I can update at the same time. Glad scud got to be the bastage instead of me... lol.

yeah I knew he wouldn't make it past you. Looks like I'm going to have to reinvent my draft strategy!

Maybe.
