    I thought it was a misprint!

    Interesting year for 1st round picks, honestly. The KD move puts the top of the draft in flux.

    Sam, I'll give you #4 and my 4th rounder to swap spots.

    This is a strong first round, going pretty deep, with clear top picks. Then it drops off fast about middle of the 2nd. If anyone wants to trade down throw out an offer. I wouldn't mind getting into the top 6 and taking on more risk.

    No Halloween party goers except me, no complaints, though. Should be fun.

    Is it okay that we are missing the first 3-4 days of games?

    Well that first day shifted everything. Moving Leonard up now instead of down. Gasol down. Johnson and Hood really surprised me as I had bumped both way down my lists too going in, and now they coming back up. And Klay, u are going to be given up some points boy.

    Yeah, last pick again, now I know Fades true feelings..........

    That's OK I'll take Bobby Brown and Corey Brewer with that wrap around pick and finish with a strong 13th place finish........

    FLASH, YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THE INVITE I SENT! You are not currently registered on the website, and the draft will not commence until everyone accepts their invite.

    I thought about this ... I really don't know who I'd pick #4. I think there's a top 2 and then a group of 4 or 5 in the next tier, and I don't think a 4th rounder moves the needle much in terms of the risk. I think you need a crazy stats guy to win in this league and I don't know who outside of the top 2 are going to necessarily put up those numbers.

    I totally agree with your analysis, Sam...not sure who I'm grabbing at 4 yet, but there's a really good group there..and those top 2 ARE monsters.

    I understand about a 4th not moving the needle for you...

    This is where I would sweeten the offer to a 3 instead, but I'm hesitant about weakening my position too much.

    It's going to be an interesting draft...

    I've wanted to play for quite awhile, but it seemed like something always got in the way.

    Guess the stars finally aligned. Should be a blast!

    Excited to have you aboard! And I agree there's some incredible players at 4, just not sure who will step up or fall off a bit.

    Nice draft all. Don't forget to set your lineups for the upcoming week. Our season starts week 2. It looks like scores are being tallied for week 1, but obviously those results will not count.

    My only miss/want was Jeremy Lin. I ended up with Rose and Payton instead. Overall took a lot of fringe players who may hit or miss, but so far so good.

    I had technical issues on my end.It wouldn't allow me to pick a player....

    Ex..I took Anthony Davis @ 4 and it gave me Curry.

    I had my priorities in order and was going to eschew a company function scheduled for 7:30, but when I saw what was happening, I went.

    Incredibly frustrating, as I was very excited about finally playing and didn't get a chance to pick.

    Good Luck guys!
