Glad it’s working out well. Thought it would make an interesting shift from the standard drafts.

Well, my pick from Jayrod was taken by Desert Power so I guess we’re waiting for a bit.
I hereby call an early pause of the clock for Friday happy hour.
Please be nice and send lists if you can if you’re going to be away for a while over the weekend. There’s no need to be checking your phones /computers all weekend, but it just sucks if we get frozen the whole weekend.
Thanks!

i’ll be honest, not sure if i am drafting a real life team or a fantasy team here, but taking a bunch of guys i have in uber league. if the average salary is 10mm, i just don’t see enough functional guys to round out 15. i figured it was best to take cheap guys i know and work my way up than vice versa. wa la

I love this draft. So much more thinking than anything else we've done. Like, I took Sengun and that saved me about $3M versus another guy I was looking at. Is that smart? No idea yet. I have enough money where I could still take a pretty big money guy, but that leaves me with very little left. Do I have enough quality dudes already drafted that I can take that risk? Nobody knows!

The salary aspect has made this wildly successful. I think with the salary component/strategy being brand new to everyone, if we redrafted right now we might see a wildly different draft.

i was going to take sengun here.
instead;
7.4 - kyle kuzma, wiz
13,000,000
gonna play 35 mins a night and seems to have taken a step forward. big man who boards, blocks a bit and 3s. there is a theme here.

I'm golfing in the morning. Can someone after me take a list who will be around? I'll check in around 6:30am CT before I head out.

I've lost hope that there will ever be a decent basketball management sim; something like Football Manager is for soccer or OOTP for bases. Those games were originally developed on a small scale and evolved over decades along with their growing cult of nerds. A hoops sim today would be just a front-end for microtransactions.
Just got home, so I haven't really looked yet, but I've got a sub-5 mil guy on my short list, so, sure.

I can.

7.5 Andre Drummond
Elite rebounder who can score around the basket. Good value contract for a backup. Can be pulled if teams try to hack-a-Andre.

I think his challenge is doing a whole team WITHOUT drafting one

Well I don't think it is possible with my remaining funds, although maybe it is. I was just commenting that many could have easily gone the route of not having to rely on a sun 5M player being part of an 8 or 9 man rotation.

I ran the numbers last night and came out just short of clearing a max contract slot. The snipe of Franz Wagner by @Yo Mama really hurt me in this regard. I could still do it but it would mean almost all minimum guys from here until the end.
DeRozan was the guy in the $20-$30M range who fit my roster the best. He's 33 now so I'll try to limit his minutes more than the Bulls do. He can lead the second unit, mentor young players and close out games when we need to get some buckets.

And clearly the best fit remaining. I need a guy who doesn't need the ball, hits pretty well on 3s...but CAN be a one on one creator and showed throughout the playoffs that he can play real big on the boards when we inevitably go small with Embiid on the bench.

Nice pick. I was targeting him next round.

Sorry for the delay. Going to grab a cheap guy for the bench now too.
7.11 - Isaiah Stewart, PF, DET
Tough rebounder and defender to come in off the bench and provide energy. Still has some potential to grow as a shooter, but probably a couple years away from that reality.
@dawgtrails is on the clock.

7.13 Terance Mann LAC $1,930,681
Underrated bench wing. Hustle player that can hit from deep, but he's best attacking the rim on offense and consistently around the ball. On defense I love his willingness to take on the best players when he's out there. Good/bad that he's on an absolutely stacked roster.

7.15 Pat Connaughton – G/F - $5,728,393
8.01 Precious Achiuwa– F/C - $2,840,160
A couple more plus-athlete, multi-positional defenders that can hit a jump shot.
Connaughton will certainly be in the rotation as he is something of a jack of all trades, master of none but can play a bit of SG, SF, and PF and capably defend them all. He has also really picked up his shooting – last season he shot 8 threes a game at a 40% clip (only 7 players shot more at a higher clip).
Achiuwa is a bit of a flyer for a rotation spot in this format, especially as I’ll need him to actually hit some threes to really be a part of the rotation. But, he is an elite switch defender that will fit in perfectly on that side of the court. In the last 3 months of the season last year, he averaged 10.7 ppg and 5.6 rpg in only 22.6 minutes and shot over 40% from three on over 3 attempts a game. If he can continue to play the defense he plays while shooting at anything near a 40% clip, he’s perfect for my team.
