So I think we should just take the top 6 BPA's and assign them, with Evan getting Tim duncan, all the way down to whoever is below Al Jefferson.

[AllabouttheGREEN]

I agree Indeed, but fear that a few people who missed the first round entirely may bail out completely, rather that accept the BPA.  I would see how it shakes out by 2PM manana.

[indeedproceed]

manana? is that really how you spell that? It sounds so much prettier when said aloud.

Also as far as the bailing goes..thats why I think we pick now, it's easier to find substitute managers when they're dealing with first round talent.

[CelticsDynasty5]

To be honest, there is still a ton of talent left on the board and a few players imo who could have gone in the top 10-15.

To be honest, after the big 2 Kobe/Lebron (you can also put KG in this class altho I think his #'s will drop off some and Dwade if he is healthy) the rest of the 4-20 or so guys are roughly all the same and no one is really getting screwed except evan but in a way that's his fault because he missed not just 1 but 2 days.

LOL, I think that's how you write it, but I know its got a funky accent mark as well.  I'm not sure you can access that on C'sblog, but its probably on here somewhere or will be soon enough.

  If you guys think we can get solid sub managers to step in, than by all means hook the other folks up w/ the best players remaining.  Still plenty of talent available.

Sorry for the delay peeps.  I left my computer at work.  My pick:

Andre Iguodala

In other news PLEASE dont comment on potential draft order

I sadly have to disagree, this is a league of commitment
Its not fair to asign players for the ones that are hoping sleepers

Now we have 15 of 20 active participants and they deserve to be prized with better picks if the rest of the people never appears
Im sure one or two will appear today, but Im not ready to give a prize to the Absent.
Sorry.

[Lucky17]

My two cents:

I'd actually favor contracting our league to the 15 active managers. Give the missing 5 until this afternoon to either submit their missing pick, or find a proxy to run their team instead. Whichever of them are still no-shows, drop them. A league of 15 teams with 16 players a team is still a very deep league.

If push comes to shove, however, I guess I'd be OK with assigning BPA at the end of each round to the teams who haven't picked.

Still MIA:

CFF and Evantime just might not have gotten the recent messages about the draft. The others ought to have received word, though.

Perhaps a 'last call' to these 5 is in order . . .

This is especially frustrating because a few of the guys who are on the "haven't picked" list are the guys that had special exceptions made for them to be a part of the league.  I agree with Lucky17 - if they haven't picked by the end of today, then they should get booted, especially if we can find replacements who will show up.

[CelticsDynasty5]

Blake and JGod both PMed me their picks incase they can't make the draft today, so if they aren't around when it's their turn to pick, lemme know.

Also I think we should kick some owners out immediatly and look for replacements if these owners aren't back by 2 (we should let the replacement owners be able to pick in the first round before others start picking in the 2nd.) Like indeedproceed said, it will be much easier/more competitive to kick out the inactive managers now that they still have first round talent avaliable than to wait til the 2nd round is completed.

We are 15 now, if people didnt appear at 2.00 p.m. why not recruit only 3 more. And make them pick at the first slots, 1,2, and 3 in order of introduction ( to put them last will give them too much advantage with back to back picks). 18 players is a deep league as Lucky said.

Ok that is fine, it looks like we already have Whleedi to fill in 1 spot. I will go make a thread right now on it to try and get 2 more people. We will have to try to make sure they are reliable/active but there obv isnt a sure fire way to know this.
