I do not understand the concept of time zones, can someone tell me how many hours until the draft? Mole used to do that for me

Where were you? It's all done now. You got Westbrook and Tobias Harris with your first two picks.

I find it's difficult to pre-plan, because you cannot know how others pick. I'll just see who I can get with my first two picks and go with their strengths, I suppose.

Some key questions:

Harden - Is he in shape, is he getting traded or not?
Zion - Will he stay healthy, will he load manage?
Curry - How good will he be individually? How good will the Warriors be?
Durant - Back to his best?

Like, say you're picking 9th or 10th in the first round. Do you go for Zion, Durant or Curry or not?

I also have no idea about any of the rookies.

Last year we played with 13 players, right?

This year 16?

On the right side there is a grey box it tells you how much time left before the draft. My strategy will evolve depending on my picks, anyways i forgot most players tendencies...

Yeah, it's 15 this year now. Two extra to draft more players. Be more aware of "diamants in the rough". Hopefully it will lead to more trades if we draft more players.

Also probably best for us to have a couple more roster spots due to Corona since a lot more players will play until the vaccine is spread across the league.

Still 10 active each day or more ?

Idk what my strategy is. I like to change it up every year. But as usual it kinda depends on who you get to draft #1

12 active / 3 bench

10-5 is better

12-3 means you are more screwed than before in case of injuries (because the waivers will be pure crap)

How does that make sense? How are you more screwed with injuries because of that. There's still IL spots.

10-5 or 12-3 will be the same. Only difference will be more players on the bench during christmas and MLK day

Any change Freeza makes, the rest of GL: "YOU FUCKIN DONKEY"

I don't know how else to explain

10-5 is what prevents Covid being a big factor, instead of dropping a player you can keep him on the bench

Yeah. If this continues I might just be out.

Warrior can make a league himself.

Different zones, different times

i asked 2 questions

Leave it like that, then. Soon enough you'll know what i meant.

Okay. Which 10 spots would you suggest then?

I can't see the logic in having 2 Center spots and 3 Guard spots.

But if you want 4 guard spots, you also need 4 Forward spots and 2 Center spots. With 2 utility spots that's 12 total.

That's why I've chosen 12.

If you want 10 it's illogical. Unless you want more utillity spots.

It's hard to get 10 spots to make sense.

So how long until the draft?

Vibe wrote:So how long until the draft?

50 minutes

8 positions + 2 util + (5 bench)

Same as last year basically

I thought the purpose of a 15 squad is to avoid "Out" and "Covid" being a factor

Name the positions then.

And yeah. It's a factor if you only got 10 spots and can't change every day. Then suddenly someone is pulled 10 minutes before the game.

More spots = easier to avoid losing because of covids.

And it makes a whole lot more sense

Hands off Olynyk, guys.

PG
SG
G
SF
PF
F
C
C
Util
Util

Potentially 5 guards/2 centers ratio, as it was last year

It has nothing to do with positions in fact, it's about the amount of active players each night. On a saturday it will be 12 vs 12. If you have 12 active players for 15 total, and someone is out last minute, you still have only 3 on the bench. While with 10-5, you have extra 2 on the bench to adapt.

Probably i'm not being clear, leave it like that, the problem will highlight by itself.
