    • I thought we had a list for Lindsey by now?

      • Alright Gents and Lady...we need to pick up the pace a bit if we intend to finish before the season starts. I know that it's the dark days of the draft, but let's keep engaged and get this done...thanks.

        • When does the season start?
          Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

              • As long as we knock out a round a day, we'll be good. And you won't have me holding up the draft in the 15th!

                • Y'all must really want to get this draft done. 3 of you messaged me within 8 minutes of each other to pick.

                  • Jude, you gotta repick. I'm not sure why he was left off the draft list in the first post, but I took him in round 7 (see http://forum.rotojunkiefix.com/showt...l=1#post201227)

                    • Hay all...I'm heading out of town to a place with no internet or cell service. So Riff is going to make my last pick, and then it's all done. Thanks to all of you for making it go so smoothly...special thanks to Oak for doing all of the heavy lifting. It's appreciated more than you can know...

                          Your guard play is excellent - Westbrook, Lowry, Ellis, Beal, Korver - and I think you will be among the leaders in assists, steals, and 3s. The problem may be in blocks and rebounds - not sure if you have enough there. But overall, a solid team, and could certainly finish in the upper half.

                          • also, you want trade? What he said is basically the inverse of my team, I suspect.

                                Yeah, I think you have the strongest team on paper. I don't really see any weaknesses.
