Savage Draft Commentary thread Topic

Looking at everyone's write-ups, I am think I must have drafted way less minutes than everyone else. Despite all but 3 of my picks appearing on all 5 teams, I am only at 23481, 19974, 23503, 21169 and 21639 minutes respectively.

OK, so I present the thought process of a far less informed source:

1-Kevin Garnett-I felt like I was picking late enough that I needed a player that had a lot of minutes and could cover several bases. The 4 players I was thinking of leading up to the pick were Wade, Erving, Duncan, and KG.

2-Karl-Anthony Towns-Somwhere leading up to this pick, I decided I was going in the direction of making 3's. I may not be able to out think anyone, but every once in a while I may out shoot them. Obviously, he leaves a season empty but I figured I could fill one season later on and he gives me good to very good for 4 years.

3-Draymond Green-"He makes everyone else better." This gets said about him a lot. Him being available here felt like a win.

4-Anfernee Hardaway-This pick essentially sealed my overall gameplan. On a semi-even talent playing field, I'm not going to be able to outgame just about all of you. I decided that going top heavy with a few teams was my best chance to have a chance. I did not believe Penny would make it back around to me, so I pulled the trigger.

5-Reggie Miller-Was dead set on taking the best 5 season bomber left on the board. To me, this was it.

6-Shane Battier-My picks didn't get much reaction throughout the draft, but he was compared to fiber. When I think of fiber, I think of something that firms up your crap. So if he does that, I made a good pick here.

7-Elvin Hayes-Basically, he was taken to be a high usage scoring threat for the 1 KAT-less squad. That team will be different than the other 4, but maybe that isn't a bad thing.

8-Peja Stojakovic-Make 3's at a high rate. I ask nothing more of you.

9-John Havlicek-I had been debating taking him for at least 4 rounds. eFG% not special, but he gives better than OK D and offers so many minutes at several positions. He will have 5 different roles and should be able to handle them all with success.

10-JJ Redick-See Peja, he has a message for you.

11-Matt Bonner-Expect him to take literally less than 100 shots total for the 5 leagues. But they all better be 3's and he'd better make 45+ of them.

12-Jermaine O'Neal-Could have taken just about anyone at this point, but he seemed way too useful to just leave out there.

As it shook out, I feel like I have 1 very good team, 1 pretty good team, 2 functional teams that could go either way depending on where they get matched up, and 1 team that will have a hard time competing.

Oh yeah I think most of mine are around 25000

Looks like we’re almost there. 2 separate owners only entered 4 teams (?). Let’s try to get them all in today and once DH runs the roster checks, I’ll randomize the names for the divisions and we’ll be good to go!

It isn’t like it is valuable or I get a prize or anything. Just an interesting anecdote. I started picking lots of low minutes guys because you monsters took all the high minute ones.

JCred and Copernicus: not sure if you’re aware but you each only entered 4 teams. We’re just missing 1 team from each of you and then we’ll be good to go!

I think dh may have asked them to fix something

I see jcred in all 5 leagues. i believe it's copernicus that is still missing from the 2 leagues that aren't full
6/10/2020 3:05 PM
You’re right, my bad. Miscounted and eager to see how this goes.
6/10/2020 3:08 PM
I have now entered all 5 but one of them is F-d up and I have made a fix-it request to our administrative overlords
