Summer 2021 Fantasy Draft: Draft Thread

[Who]

Man, watching James Harden play for the Brooklyn Nets is so much more fun than watching him on the Rockets. Less Harden-centric. More team based offense. Beautiful offense.

Gotta give Nash credit for system.

[nickagneta]

Less than 7 hours. Still listening to trade options. Got a good one, depending on player availability. Will be very open to a swap of players involving my recent picks, depending on return. PM me. If nothing else, we will have fun swapping ideas.

Am I the only person that thinks that 5 minutes intervals is a bit too quick? I feel like the original 10 minutes were better imo.

I've found that we run ahead when most people are online but I'm fine with either.

If we did 10 minute intervals the two-a-days have the potential to last for around 4 hours

5 minute intervals have been done in the past for years and years with as many as 30 teams and have run successfully. As long as people are active, it's more than enough time, especially given the lack of trades and not one trade being made during drafting times.

Concur with nick.  The only person it can be hard on is the Commish, in terms of processing trades and keeping the draft board updated.  But, that's mitigated a lot here, with fewer trades and few picks.

I miss the 30 team draft.  That sucker was intense.

I was having a look over some of the old CB draft threads - wild! How on earth 30 people + commish coordinated all that is very impressive. Seems far more stressful than this one

Oh yeah, that would be super fun, wow. Really intense and fun to follow! In this format with this many teams, they're all going to be really good -- 25-30 teams just totally changes the game. That'd be fun to try to get enough people to do at some point.

It was really interesting, because by far the most noticeable thing to me was the talent gap between these teams and those teams. Say you had pick 5, your 2nd best player is going to be a fringe top-50 guy. Creates a whole bunch of different considerations. I feel like my excel spreadsheet would be headache-inducing for something with that many players!

If you want I could pick now and Jumpstart the round.

I'm ready too.

Up to you mate! I'm cool with it, and we have the top 5 guys around (I've got Somebody's list), but if someone doesn't log on until later we could be waiting some time between picks.

I'm happy either way

The Pacers take Dejounte Dashaun Murray


He becomes the starting pg.

I love Murray! Have always wanted him as a Celtic IRL, so I like the pairing with Tatum. Besides his shooting flaws he really does everything. Nice selection.
