Is that a lot or a little?
In a 288 player draft? Seems real low to me.
Ha well I didn't know exactly what you meant by "excited." But even with a great group of owners, I bet you that list of 120ish will be enough to get you through round 8 or so, depending on fit, because others will pick guys not on the list. Then you can fill out the teams with guys you're less excited about. It's part of the fun; by necessity we'll see a lot of guys out of the usual draft league rotation.
I have a question - what would be the difference, in this context, between a guy you'd be excited to use in a capped league but not an uncapped league? I get the general desire to not have uncapped leagues. I love the challenge of a lower cap to make you be efficient with money (see - the ODL). But lack of a cap is less of a concern in draft leagues, as opposed to open-build leagues, because you don't have unlimited access to stars and you still have to get the best 19600 minutes on the floor; it doesn't help you to have 5000 more minutes worth of players sitting on the bench. And is this format - where you get 12 total players to build 5 teams? I really don't see how not having a cap will make it any easier. It's going to be super difficult to have more than two, maybe three perfectly constructed teams. The fun will be in building the third, fourth, and fifth teams.
I mean, come on - I've got you comfortably in the top 3-4 favorites group regardless of how we do it ;)
Well, we are live now so I can't cite you specific examples. But there are lots of players I can think of who are good specifically because they are fine at everything for their position without being stellar, but they have an extremely low $/min number that makes them very valuable given their lack of glaring flaws in a constrained cap league. That isn't an issue here.
And no way I am in the top 3-4. By my count there are only like 6 fish in this league. There are at least 18 owners that have an extremely good shot at winning, you being one of them.
