CS85 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 While there are a few of us here and the thread is pretty active...I'd really like to avoid another 4 picks in three days stretch like the one we experienced over the weekend. I propose that we institute a six hour notification rule. Once you're on the clock, you have six hours to either pick or notify us that you're having issues. If you notify us that there might be a problem, at least we'll know what's going on and we can plan accordingly. If the six hours pass without a pick or explanation, you get skipped and the draft will proceed. You can jump in and pick as soon as you're able to. Thoughts? Suggestions? It sucks when this thing grinds to a halt. We should address it.I'd say that's kind of fair. I think we've made decent progress, but it's mostly up to mania since he's managing the google doc. As long as it doesn't disintegrate into a clusterf*** I'd be down. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

pmoehrin Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 For now I don't think we need time limits.We're only talking about a 12 round draft here which is why I'm not going that crazy over it. So we missed two days. Not a big deal as far as I'm concerned if that's the only hickup. We're about 1/3 of the way through.When we get to round 8 or so and nobody is picking HOFers anymore, then we'll see but for now I'm happy with status quo.

floydnimrod Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Man, all the guys I was planning on being there in another round were all taken in like a 7 pick span. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Gotta dig deep. I've got a draft board and each pick is my 3rd or 4th choice.

GriffinM6 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This is gonna start getting tough, now we are running out of some legends. There are still some great players left though. Heres my starting lineup so far.Reggie Miller-SFJerry West-PGBill Walton-CLeBron James-PFNow I just need a shooting guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'd say you'd need a true 4. Miller is a natural shooting guard and putting him anywhere else would be silly, and LBJ is a SF. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'd say you'd need a true 4. Miller is a natural shooting guard and putting him anywhere else would be silly, and LBJ is a SF.Yeah you got two guys playing out of position.I think your far better off drafting a PF then trying to have an undersized lineup. Its not like there's nobody out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'd say you'd need a true 4. Miller is a natural shooting guard and putting him anywhere else would be silly, and LBJ is a SF.LeBron could play shooting guard though. Not with Miller on the team, however. To me, depending on the team, SF and SG CAN be interchangeable depending on the players. I don't think that's the case here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'll have a pick done in a few minutes. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 How does this sound?Reggie Miller-SGJerry West-PGBill Walton-CLeBron James-SFNow I need a power forward. And with the way I'm picking, I dont know loads about basketball, but I do know quite a bit, so with lack of alot of knowledge, my picks may not seem what like what you think is the right pick. And besides, I dont even know what 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's and 5's are in b-ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron and Reggie both could play out of position like that, but your far better off drafting a PF then doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's HOF PF's that haven't been picked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 You can take The Iceman off the board. George Gervin is a Kentucky Colonel and a huge roll of the dice for me. This may just blow up in my face. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Damn. I wanted Gervin bad but I knew there was no way he'd fall to me, and me taking him where I was seemed early. Nice pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Damn. I wanted Gervin bad but I knew there was no way he'd fall to me, and me taking him where I was seemed early. Nice pick.Well, he wasn't who I had in mind with this pick. Then I looked at my board and I think the talent at SG drops off pretty quickly. So I changed my mind and went with Ice. Fortunately, the draft is headed in the direction where I don't have to wait long to pick again. Barring a really bizarre and highly unlikely stretch of picks, I should be able to get one of the three players I have in mind for my next pick.

Shumway Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 While I'm not involved in the draft, I'm really enjoying looking through the draft thread to see who you guys pick. Interesting stuff, fellas.(Someone better draft Thunder Dan *shakes fist* ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Olajuwon, Barkley, Payton, Drexler...anyone noticing a trend? Also just noticed that I'm essentially drafting the 1996 Houston Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
