What round is acceptable to draft Victor Oladipo?
Also are picks timed to like 45 seconds? 13 rounds of 20 people is a very long time.

I'm guessing they have him around 100, so I'm saying the 5th round. I could be way off, don't listen to me. Yes, picks are 45 seconds. |

They got him at 133. I like him around 100. Actually I would listen to me. 133 is way too low.
Also, for those not in the draft, Yahoo will automatically draft for a person after the 1st round.
So that's a time saver too.

Can I perhaps place a reservation or dibs on Oladipo?
Is there a certain strategy that's better? Like fantasy FF having good #1 RBs is extremely valuable since a bunch split carries or suck. I've never played fantasy basketball before.

I've never played fantasy basketball before. If you take him in the 1st round, you'll probably get him. The scoring categories are pretty even, so I don't think that favors any position in particular to be honest. |

I think the Ejections category is a negative. Sanders, Cousins and a few others will undoubtedly hurt your team a bit in this category. Actually, I have no idea if it's a positive or a negative scoring category. I guess we'll find out.  |

I have to admit that I'm just winging it tomorrow. I've been way too busy to look into anything.
I've been in Nas's 16 team leagues, but never a 20 team league. Seems ridiculous and awesome all at the same time.

Seems ridiculous and awesome all at the same time. I think what's interesting is that there are around 350-450 players in the NBA, and 260 (20 teams x 13 spots) will be drafted, meaning you'll have to sift through over half the league's players during the draft. That's crazy and daunting to me, and I have no idea how I'm going to field a respectable team since I don't know more than 75 players off the top of my head. |

Yahoo's rankings aren't too bad. Once we're into the 150-260 range, their guess is as good as ours, I imagine.

I'm gonna be relying on Yahoo autodraft tomorrow.
I'll be driving home at 8.
Hope it works out well.

How long do we think this draft will take? 20 teams. 13 rounds. 45 seconds a pick. About 3 hours. |

I can see myself turning this on autodraft also then.

After the first round, the system automatically recognizes whether you're in the room or not. It then starts auto-picking for you.
I know IMU has contacted me and he expects to be on auto (pun intended). Same with beni, I believe.
The Nas league had 16 teams, but we had 17 roster positions I think it was. That's 272 players. Took about 2 hours.

By the way, there IS a chat box while you're drafting, so in between picks you can watch the crummy Thursday Night Football game, podcast the Wendy's Big Show if you somehow missed it earlier, and chat away with 19 of your bestess internet friends.

I ranked my top 50 players and then just used the next 200 from Yahoo's rankings.
Crossing my fingers Nintendo is still there in the first round.

I should just automatically get Nintendo, he needs to be on Team Suck.

Be glad to share my cheat sheet w/ anyone...after the draft. It's distinctly different from Yahoo's rankings. I hope that's a good thing.

We need avatars for Vegan and Benni, something is just wrong.
Also, Vegan are you a female, because you have that symbol?
