Somewhat OT: RipCityTwo Fantasy Basketball League

If he can't stay healthy it's because YOU chose him #1.

This. Exactly this.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'd take him #1.

Oh yeah all day. If you have the #1 pick and you don't take Davis...

 

[Strenuus]

Oh yeah all day. If you have the #1 pick and you don't take Davis...

You take Luis Montero, of course.

 

[PDXFonz]

Being that this is all Blazers fans in this league Blazers players will probably hold more value in trades?

You should draft Lamarcus Aldridge in the first round. I think there will be a lot of trade interest for him.

I'm gonna be laying in bed all weekend, hopped up on pain meds.... don't tempt me.

So you think LeBron isn't a safe choice? How often is he hurt?

Davis is averaging 66 games played per season. That's a lot of missed games.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

By the way, reminder that the draft is tonight at 6:45 PM Pacific!

I'd still take Davis.

How long are the clocks set for each move? 30 seconds?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

60 seconds currently. Are people wanting to change that?

This is Davis' year to really solidfy though, IMO.

I'd rectify it and say top 2, but he's up there. I mean, to me, he's that level of player.

 

[PDXFonz]

60 seconds currently. Are people wanting to change that?

I'm fine with 60. If you change it id definitely say no less than :45

 

[PDXFonz]

Anthony Davis will be the NBA's MVP this season.

 

[MARIS61]

I'm fine with 60. If you change it id definitely say no less than :45

If my wifi is lagging, anything under 60 secs is hard to accomplish.

45 seconds it is! ; )

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I'd be fine with 30, I did a couple mock drafts that were 30 seconds a pick and it was fine, but I have no problem with 60 either.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I am going to go to 45 seconds.

@MARIS61 or anyone else who thinks they might have lag issue. During the draft, just load up your Queue. That is the thing that you drag players to and it will pick them for you in the order you have them listed if you run out of time.

I like to do this anyways. It helps me keep track of my main targets.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Who's going to be the first to draft a Lakers player?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I have an idea. ^

 

[Strenuus]

Who's going to be the first to draft a Lakers player?

Probably you.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Draft starts in about 25 minutes gang!

 

[Strenuus]

G: Kyle Lowry
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo
UTIL: Jarret Jack (Ugh)

BE: Ed Davis
BE: Noah Vonleh

Great drafting all!

 

[BigGameDamian]

My team is going to be very weak in the assist category.

 

[-Ace-]

Mine is apparently a 3pt slaughterhouse. Probably because of Curry.....lol.

I hate your team.

You know why.

HOW DARE YOU, SIR. HOW DARE YOU.

It was the 5th pick in the 3rd round, after making my initial mistake I had to do it. Passing up on such a great opportunity would have been too much. Ultimately I play to win!

That being said, I've got myself a real boom or bust team.
