When are we starting?? With the first pick I take........ Bo Kimble!!


THAT'S A JOKE!
the only reason i say it doesnt really work in this situation is it leads to more debat, takes the debate away from the team and focuses on the player. so what i mean is you say 1996 jordan and then math says why not 1993 jordan well jordan was better in 1996, well but he was different in blah blah blah lol. you know what i mean?

Yes I understand you clearly, so I take it you guys 'don't' want that kind of debate then? Fair enough.....

I still want to debate whose team is better etc...but I like the idea of taking a player at his "peak." You can define peak however you want when you draft him.

Im ok starting whenever, here is the list as I see it so far:

(Not in draft order, but just participants)

Slackjaw
719inhere
Orangeish
rigas
Greg1977
little elmer
Davy-040

Then there is Mathguy who dropped out, but Im hoping he reads my post and joins soon. if not, im sure he will chime in with his opinion.

Im ok starting this afternoon. That sound ok to everyone else?

Slackjaw - you were the OP,do you want to randomize the draft order?

I can make one pick this afternoon, then I'm engaged for most of the evening. But from what I read earlier, we're giving everyone 24 hours to make their pick, or forfeit till the next round, correct?
