Seriously? Again with Riff and Fly in the top 3? Sigh...just once I'd like to have a shot at Bron, Durant, or anyone on that level...

BTW, that's the EXACT same top 3 as last year...I call BS. In fact, that's the EXACT same order as last year, almost statistically impossible...

2012 draft order:

Again your flying off the handle. The first list is what I submitted to hammer. The 2nd list is what he sent me.

[Hornsby]

So tell me what's different about the 2nd list? Jim Bob is still 1st, Riff is still 2nd, Fly is 3rd...etc. It's the exact same list.

So since I seem to be missing it, please post the REAL draft order so we can get started...

[Riff Raff]

A top 2 perspective - Horns is right.

Looking at the draft orders from the last 2 yrs they are almost identical.

Blame the software?

While i'd LOVE #2 I think there is an issue here - the draft ranks are nearly identical.

We need to use 2 guys like we see in the annual Mocks (or the Vintage drafts - best bet) to get the order.

i did read the whole post.

hammer sent me a list with numbers only. I added the names. Editing is horrible on an iPad.

I am first. Jude 2nd. Mjl 3rd......

[Riff Raff]

need some explanation PB. I don't get how your are #1 at all given then the info above.

Either way I think we need 2 non league members determining the draft order. The results we have are suspect.

Well, that was certainly clear as river mud...

[Moccasin]

I think PB is saying the 2nd list is the draft order; just remove the numbers in front of the names.

[OaklandA's]

The usual way to randomize the draft order is to have Person #1 send the names in random order to Person #3, and have Person #2 send the numbers from 1-12 in random order to Person #3. Person #3 then puts the two lists together and posts them. That way, all three can verify their part of the result, and there is no question about the fairness.

I think that our Yahoo site can generate a random draft order

My reaction was...again with pick #3? Sigh...just once I'd like to have a shot at Bron, Durant, or anyone on that level...

Sarcasm doesn't become you...a Colossus who strides above the rest of us mere mortals should eschew such petty dealings.

[B-Fly]

Seriously, though, with Pick #3 I was about to ask if anyone wanted to trade draft positions. Last year my #3 pick was K-Love and I got two weeks out of him all year. Plus, I've already got the #3 fantasy guy for 2013-14 as my Rd. 5 keeper.

[joncarlos]

Does someone have access to the standings from last year? I'd love to try to figure out what kind of totals I need in each category.
