Can't believe I hastily wasted a pick on one-season backup Gadzuric.

I used the 5 beaches of Normandy as my team names. Are we starting all 5 leagues simultaneously, or are we going to stagger the start of each one by a few days so each playoff finals has it's own focus?

there were a couple useful Brad Daugherty seasons no one chose to use - clean, high efg, decent usage, meh boards and no defense to speak of but still - thoughts?

I kept waiting for Daugherty to get picked, especially by owners who drafted lower usage up front and needed some in the end. He has always performed very well for me when I've drafted him in the past despite his low defense. I had already drafted my usage / big men by the time he would have made my radar, but I thought he was a missed opportunity for some others. If I had known he was still going to be available all the way to the end, I might have not selected Enes Kanter in round 7 and taken Kevin Johnson at PG instead.

Nice writing Ben and Sam. That is the first time I have seen you do lengthy writeup in a while Ben, maybe since you got married even?

All I know is that I'm 100% certain that her parents ended up with two useless draft picks in the deal and Ben set himself up with a dynasty.

Jesus this is hilarious.

Very clever! Probably the funniest comment in this whole thread.

Yeah probably my first big write up in a while. I’ve been planning on doing a big ODL eval piece for a while but I keep losing in 7 games to the champion. Just know I have something planned!

FYI, dh - I would suggest leniency on the whole penalty for playing scrubs. At the very least there should be a warning before any games are penalized. No one is gonna have fatigue issues and if the scrubs are bad enough it's not actually going to be an advantage to play them. I agree it should be simple for everyone to put them on rest, I just don't want someone getting harshly penalized for an honest mistake.

I have wondered if players foul out and the sim uses “sim logic” and puts the scrubs in.

my concern was always teams like me having to rest Ben Simmons and he finds his way in to a game. If a scrub plays, I can’t imagine you are winning that game or it was decided in the first 40

well im also hearing that owners have experienced WIS playing rested players anyway

so yea ill be approaching any penalty situation with caution...highly doubt there will be any as i think i got my point across to everyone

i understand that scrubs wont help you win, but my thinking is that some owners may not have extra mins at certain positions and will benefit from the scrubs sucking up extra mins and saving their actual rotation guys from fatigue

I have one instance of the ****** Julius Keye on every one of my teams and he is set for rest. If he plays a single minute it certainly isn’t by design.

DH I don't envy you having to check the rosters; probably the most difficult part of this. Three separate times after entering teams I had to pull them out and fix them after realizing I had duplicated seasons. Hope I caught all of the mistakes but I may not have.

I caught a few mistakes on my rosters also due to too much second guessing who I should put where. But I have since triple checked all my rosters, and I can confidently say my teams are correct. Ready to storm the beaches of Normandy.

i actually havent started checking yet...didnt have the time for it this weekend...ill be starting tomorrow

Just gotta say, between the recent Scattergories draft, this zany, mind-altering draft and this utter carnival of a commentary thread, I can't remember when I've had this much fun on this site.

For days and days I was fairly sure I could contend in at least one of the five leagues. By now, having had to scramble, shuffle, and recalculate in entering all five teams, I am sure of nothing. What is time? Why is that chipmunk looking at me? Are chipmunks real? Am I a chipmunk?

I think you probably just got a hold of some of robusk’s edibles by accident

Put on some Ornette Coleman.
