October 19, 20241 yr she’s done every shaggy baseball and hoops draft order for close to a decade now. shouts out miss betsy. 🫡
October 19, 20241 yr Hahaha the Arsenal kit? Love it. Hope y'all are doing alright @Derka BTW I was tired of TD because Jokic has dominated it the past few years and whoever gets #1 and gets Jokic almost automatically has a great team. But y'all do y'all's thing - eventually it will even out like every other fantasy stat.

October 19, 20241 yr I don't know if I have a say, but I'm fine with taking out triple doubles. It seems like there are only 3 or 4 players that have a shot at that and I won't be able to draft any of them. It just seems like too much of an advantage to whoever gets those players. Though I do thank Derka's mom for back-to-back picks!

Though I do thank Derka's mom for back-to-back picks! Your vote counts as much as anyone else's. I just looked at the settings again and there is no requirement that we pick 12 categories. What if we just remove it and roll with 11? Anyone object? I just need Focker's keepers. Any word @Derka?

If we don't hear by tonight, yeah I'll do that. I want to make sure I have it set up and don't need to scramble before the draft tomorrow. If he decides he wants someone else in addition we can just make note of it and tell people he's off limits and then have him draft that guy in the proper round. Jr really drafted a hell of a team. Maybe he wants to keep Killian Hayes. Edited October 19, 20241 yr by Baboontyme

October 20, 20241 yr Author Got the keepers and their rounds set. It was much simpler than I thought. Easy to change up until 1 hour before the draft in case Gregger or anyone else changes their mind. I think we're ready to draft!
October 20, 20241 yr Author I have removed triple doubles from the scoring categories. It is set to be an 11 Category league. Please let me know if anyone has an issue with this. Just wanted to let everyone know that I officially did it in advance of the draft.
October 20, 20241 yr @Baboontyme let’s replace it with another category like FT%. Edited October 20, 20241 yr by Derka
October 20, 20241 yr @Baboontyme can you post a list of keepers here? also fyi in the past we have had some hiccups and have had to pause the draft and manually did things. hopefully that won’t happen tonight, but it has happened before.
October 20, 20241 yr Is the keeper automatically set to go in that round or do I manually pick them? Thanks.

October 21, 20241 yr Author I have changed the regular season schedule to encompass 18 weeks instead of 20. Besides that and replacing TDs with FT% I haven't made any other changes to the league settings. Let me know if I missed anything.

Wemby would have been my first pick if TDs aren't a stat, that dude is gonna be in the running for MVP this year. Fox was my only wtf auto pick. I had him last year, and he was streaky and frustrating to have on your team. Maxey was my keeper in the 4th. I'm just glad I got in before it auto drafted Kawhi or Westbrook to me 😁 I would have probably taken Donovan Mitchell in the 2nd anyway, I love getting guys that are on my favorite teams. Plus I got him in the 2nd in my other league too. My other league team is pretty awesome looking compared to where some of the guys went in this draft, I got Giannis, Mitchell and Sabonis with my first 3 picks in a 10 team league. I think the players in this league are much higher quality, so I hope to wreck shop over there, even though I had 7th pick.
October 21, 20241 yr yeah i actually think you have a great team. i’ve looked over the rosters and there are at least 4 or 5 really good looking rosters as of today. of course it’s mid october and the finals aren’t until april, so a lot will change, but yeah, i see a few teams out there that had particularly good drafts.
October 22, 20241 yr i am so crunk that the season starts tomorrow. 24 hours from now i’ll be in my recliner, bourbon in hand, watching god knows how many games at once. LFG.
October 22, 20241 yr 👀 \ I'm gonna take a flyer on this guy with my last roster spot and see WTF happens lol...

He's not gonna do anything even if half the team is injured by January. I saw him pop up as a dark horse RoY candidate on some betting sites and thought he might be worth a flyer, but he's just gonna drag down my averages if I use him. Still can't believe they wasted a 2nd on him, he should be in the G League.

October 27, 20241 yr i just now realized that chet holmgren was not an UDFA and that i was supposed to get him in round 12 or 13.

I hope @BigOrange1 beats all of you pussies with my Ant keeper. Unfortunately "motherfuckering" isn't a stat category. But wherever you got Chet it sounds like it was a disgusting pick.

Explain this to me please. At least we can adjust it for next year. I believe I looked at last year's draft and Chet wasn't drafted so I assumed udfa coming off of injury (though to be fair that could have been 2 or 3 years ago, I don't remember). I also thought Rex had the draft set up last year same as this year, where our keepers had designated rounds and were picked automatically for us during the draft.

I believe I looked at last year's draft and Chet wasn't drafted i wasn’t ever able to see the pics of last years draft (im on mobile) but he should show up as having been drafted last year. my partner and i drafted him in one of the final rounds the season that he missed due to injury, specifically so we could keep him the following year (last year). so last year he was like our 13th or 14th pick, and this year he was supposed to move up one spot. Edited October 30, 20241 yr by Derka
October 30, 20241 yr i have access to a laptop right now and i just hopped on, and yeah, i cannot explain why chet doesn’t show up in last year’s draft. i mean he obviously wouldn’t have gone undrafted if he wasn’t a keeper, and again, we drafted him the year he was hurt just to make him a super late keeper the next year. is there any way to see the draft from two years ago?
October 30, 20241 yr this is from two seasons ago. so he should have been our 16th round pick last year and 15th round pick this year. still, i cannot explain how he doesn’t show up in last year's draft.
October 30, 20241 yr op, there he is: i think you and i were scrambling so much to get this season to happen that this slipped through the cracks. lol oh well!
October 30, 20241 yr Author Thank you. I kept trying to look shit up on my phone and it isn't easy ,😂 We'll get it fixed for next year.
