Summer 2021 Fantasy Draft: Draft Thread

With the 9th pick of the sixth round, the Toronto Raptors select...



De'Andre Hunter!!!

He was someone I had a tough time valuing. Was really solid last season before getting hurt. If he can return to that he's a nice pick

Somebody only sent me a board for the first three picks. It's 7:45am Hong Kong time, and I told him that it might be worth getting up early to make his pick, but he might not be up yet. 5 minutes left on the board either way

I don't see Somebody.  Going to make my pick in 2 minutes

The Pacers select Jae Crowder

So many wing defenders to throw at opposing teams!

Yet no offensive issues and plenty of outside shooting.

Yeah, really well done. The only nit-pick with your team is interior defense and whether Sabonis can hold up against the elite offensive centers. There's still plenty of stoppers available early in the next round that would help solve that problem.

No one seems to be talking up their teams, which is unusual for this game this late in the draft. I am not sure if I like it or not. If it continues to the end, the voting could be rather eye opening.

Usually by this time, you have a good idea who the top and bottom teams are based on comments. That tends to drive enthusiasm and drive for trades, which can make the game more interesting.

It's funny that you mention this. I was going to get a "Rate My Team" thread going in the next 24 hours to try and foster some of that kind of discussion. See what the philosophy is for each GM, and see how people change their ideas as their rosters develop. I'll try and get it done after the 2 rounds tomorrow.
