@usinfantrycat85 congrats on the coveted 1st pick you are on the clock!

Youth route you will have to take.

Youth route you will have to take.

deja vu

 

[drcats2013]

deja vu

Same for me. I was second to last last year. Went young and built a solid team, though.

 

[hotelblue]

in three tries i’ve been something like 11/14, 3/14, 8/12. it’s been random. is a death nail in regular draft maybe to be this low though. all-time draft it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Bright side you all can bookend two talented players. I absolutely am not thrilled I'm stuck in the middle.

 

[hotelblue]

you can get a superstar though. just takes forever for that second pick i remember.

are we using the draft class?

Yea officially they are on teams so that's cool with me.

 

[hotelblue]

i hope to land at least one guy born in america.

 

[GoBigBlue712]

Plan to stack former Cats

 

[GonzoCat90]

I'm really interested to see which direction this goes. Somehow, so much has changed in one year.

 

[Jsngabbard]

Is there a model to follow like 2 pg 2 sg 2 sf etc or just ten players regardless of position

You’re the GM pick em however you want

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I have a weird feeling someone is gonna choose my first selection before I pick!

Just be prepared to explain yourself once the draft is over. Playoffs are a vote with you having a chance to explain why you are better than the other team

Me either.

 

[GonzoCat90]

So this starts at noon or started at midnight?

 

[drcats2013]

So this starts at noon or started at midnight?

I feel like 11 pm to 8 AM or so shouldn’t be counted, so I’d say the guy in the clock should get until about 4 PM.

 

[DraftCat]

I posted this at 9:30 PM last night. the draft starts technically starts at 12:00 in 30 min. Didn't think it was fair to put a guy on the clock that late. I'm going to give people 8 hours to pick for the first two rounds and then push it to 6

@usinfantrycat85

Are we doing dead periods?

 

[DraftCat]

Are we doing dead periods?

As I said its pretty unrealistic to start a timer on someone super late at night. If someone starts their "timer" in the evening say at 7... I'd give them until 10 or 12 next day to make a pick... open to suggestions

Usually people have dead periods from say 12-8, specifically, which you hadn’t addressed unless I looked over it, so I was just wondering.

Just a heads up, I go into work at 7 pm in the evenings. Then I have a lot going on when I get home in the mornings. I should be able to swing a pick by 10 AM if that scenario presents itself. I'll do my best anyway.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Can we do the 8 hrs to pick or set amount of time after login if otc.

 

[DraftCat]

Lol I need to request everyones phone #'s

 

[WonderBraa]

How are the Durant and Thompson injuries being used in this draft?

 

[hotelblue]

i will be in tibet for six weeks. should be plenty of time before i have to pick.

 

[DraftCat]

How are the Durant and Thompson injuries being used in this draft?

Injuries are fair game. Durant won't play next season and Thompson is questionable to be back by playoffs. Up to whoever selects them to make the case they will be the same player after they come back.

 

[DraftCat]

If @usinfantrycat85 cannot make a pick by 8 PM tonight he will be able to select at whenever time he logs on. If we get to round 2 and he still isn't available we will select the next reserve up.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

This is ridiculous, @Jsngabbard , you're up. For the love of God, someone pick a player.

 

[GonzoCat90]

When's the last time infantry was around? We just sorta started.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

When's the last time infantry was around? We just sorta started.

Today at 8:38pm. Replace him.

 

[DraftCat]

Lol this draft is starting strong

 

[drcats2013]

What’s sad is infantry was viewing 8 minutes ago

 

[LukaszObrzut]

I may end up with the 1st, 2nd & 3rd pick at this rate.

 

[Jsngabbard]

Well if the first pick wasnt picked and I'm up I'll select Giannis Antetokounmpo

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Well if the first pick wasnt picked and I'm up I'll select Giannis Antetokounmpo

Thank you

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

@Jsngabbard , after you make a pick its helpful to to let the next person know they're up. @GonzoCat90 , you're up.
