What round is KPJ? Did not see him on the draft board that ztejas posted. 

Edit - still missing keepers for 1 team. I think it's UT Intramurals Flying Boat if my deduction skills are on point. Let me know if they're not.

if KPJ was picked up off waivers I think we agreed that he'd be a 9th round pick

[shadow_operative 15932]

KPJ is no longer a keeper. only MPJ. Kevin Porter Jr can be drafted by anyone.

just quoting because i hope everyone sees this. Durdy thought that KPJ would be his last pick, so at round 9 he's decided not to keep him. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

still can't believe that nobody last year was interested in all of the trade offers i sent involving FVV. he was like a 9th or 10th round keeper for me iirc, but i wasn't going to keep him over Randle and Sabonis, so i tried to trade him. nobody wanted him. blew me away then, and i'm being reminded of it now as he's about to be a top ~20 pick. 

[ztejas 43418]

I find it helps to write out all of the keepers so you have a list of who not to draft handy.

Although I'm sure we will pause the draft multiple times to make corrections, anyway.

[BigOrange1 6436]

lol i did the same thing and also have 0 faith we are going to get through this without pausing and correcting.

[Baboontyme 2810]

So is it incumbent on each owner to draft their keeper in the proper slot, I assume by the sound of it? Just want to make sure I'm complying. 

[RexWilson 1346]

Autodraft is what will fuck up the keeper picks

thankfully we figured out how to pause and redo that last year.

Keeping Jaren Jackson Jr in the 8th and Chris Paul in the 6th

We have people autodrafting lol?

I'll trade you Jackson in the 8th for Ingram in the 10th

[BigOrange1 6436]

well that was a clusterfuck

[Baboontyme 2810]

My first ever fantasy basketball draft. That was fun, thanks for running it BigO. Could not have been easy. I was trying to stay on top of the keepers but, yeah... Wasn't the easiest thing to do. 

[ztejas 43418]

Next year let's do 1:30 per pick. I think it would cut down on the pauses. Especially in the early rounds - it was hard racking my brain while keeping in mind who was off limits.

wait, i'm just now remembering that we did end up trading him. he wasn't a keeper? that's surprising. 

[Baboontyme 2810]

Someone who knows something grade the draft please. This exercise always makes for fun.

Not gonna do a whole overview but this is a tough league. There were quite a few hammer keepers and mid to late we kept poaching guys off of each other's lists. 

Good news is you can do a lot of work in free agency/on the waiver. My team was hot garbo last year until I picked up 2-3 guys and had some guys I drafted finally turn it on and ended up making the playoffs. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

with only three bench spots the FA/WW pool should be fairly stacked all year.

How does that work for keepers? I think we all forgot about his draft rights. Probably because he's a bitch.

[BallamaticBevo 56]

fellas and laydees my B on the keeper picking fiasco from my end. I was in the closet packing for a trip whilst on mobile fucking Jack Bauering against the 60 second shot clock trying to find someone who wasn't a keeper. Shit was hella stressful for no reason. I think we got a year to figure out if ESPN is the right jam for our league deets or if we should find a platform that allows us to pre load keepers, or sadly ditch them altogether. 

[BallamaticBevo 56]

when I plugged our league into Fantasy Pros draft analyzer this is what came back for what it's worth

[Baboontyme 2810]

Novice question - if I'm playing against another team and we're competing for the week on points, rebounds, etc - how does it work if I have a player with 4 games that week and he has a player who only has 3? Do we need to monitor how many games our players have each week and adjust lineups accordingly?

there's no limits on games played, and scheduling will definitely affect some of your matchups. i remember 2-3 seasons ago when the Celtics played like 61 games by the all star break or something. anyone who was relying on Celtics players down the stretch was only getting them 3x a week, every week.

It's just totals. And you have to set your lineup for every day of the season. You don't play 10 guys for the entire week. 

When you're streaming guys off the waiver/FA it can help to see how many upcoming games they have. Say a guy has 3 games in the last 5 days of the week - and you're in a tight matchup - you can pick him up after the first 2 days to try and cram in as many games as you can. 

Because of this you are limited to a certain amount of acquisitions every week. (6 I think?)

[Baboontyme 2810]

Thanks guys. So is the goal to have all of your lineup spots filled pretty much every night? I mean I know it won't be possible on some days but for example I had curry and green last night, should I be picking up someone off the wire to plug in tonight since they're off? Seems like the 6 moves are going to necessitate that you will have some holes on some nights, no? Just trying to figure out what the proper balance is before I blow a matchup due to stupid management which assuredly will happen organically on its own. Don't need to start the year with two strikes already.

you won't have a full roster most nights, so if you have guys who you don't mind dropping then you can do it to fill a hole if you need to. there will be plenty of players who at one point another will be owned by at least half the league this year. 

[Baboontyme 2810]

Thanks man. 

You know what I had a blast with last year and I can already tell is going to be more fun while doing this league? Single game parlays. Last night played Giannis over 29.5 + over 10.5 + Beard over 2.5 3 PM + over 7.5 dimes. Hit that one. We won't talk about the one I played on the late game. Tonight I have my main man Miles Bridges over 7.5 board + over 2.5 3 PM. +675 

Such a sucker bet but so fun when you're watching a game.

I'm not really going to tell you what to do because this is where most of the strategy lies but you aren't going to stick with you 13 draft picks very long (I mean shit I already dropped someone I drafted because I wasn't paying attention and only drafted one PF).

But - 8 players can easily outplay 10 players over a week so it isn't always about having the most games.

You'll get the feel for it. But it moves much quicker and requires much more attention than something like fantasy football (unless you want to dick around in last place).

[ztejas 43418]

@Baboontyme this MVP Curry season might make things fairly straightforward for you. 

[Baboontyme 2810]

That's the plan anyway...

[BigOrange1 6436]

if anyone wants to go ahead and pay their entry fee and get it out the way, just message me and i can hold them.  i'll keep a spreadsheet that i'll update throughout the season.

[shadow_operative 15932]

hey thanks a lot former Longhorns! KD has a TD against me (in the 3Q), and Myles Turner, yes, Myles Turner, has 38 points, 8 reb, 4 oreb, 5 3PM, and 3 blocks. how could you guys do this to me?

 

[RexWilson 1346]

Jarrett Allen didn't do anything spectacular.

[BigOrange1 6436]

lonzo with the clutch trip dub

[ztejas 43418]

Whoever sent me a trade request - I'm riding with my current 13 until I know a little more. There wasn't a space for comments or whatever when I declined it.

Ah, yes. It was a decent offer - I'm just not ready to throw all of my rebounding away.

There's a reason I burned a 4th rder on him.
