All-time Husky Draft

[PcketknfNiels]

The time in between has been excruciating.

I also wonder if we should have set some post minimums to play. We'd lose some good guys, but at least we would know there were no fly-by-nighters, and it might speed the game up.

That's basically a shot at me. I had a name on the old scout forum and have been visiting, if not posting, for about 10 years now.

Anyways took me a little while to decide between a couple of people. I submitted my pick though.

No it isn't. The other draft had a guy not even pick.

That's unfortunate. Just trying not to lose my spot, this is a fun exercise.

It's interesting to see the differences between the two drafts. Thank goodness we're at least on the turn!

I can't wait to see how round 2 plays out, who they guy who took Thabeet gets, etc. The "dominant" players are basically all gone, but still a lot of quality available, so now it will be fun to analyze the next couple rounds.

My personal "draft board" only goes about 30 deep. We're picking 56 guys. Everyone is going to have a few role players alongside the stars. Some creativity will be in order come the later rounds.

Love the Caron pick on the turn by NYC. Didn't think he'd fall to be this round seeing how I picked second but I loved him! Once again, interesting to see the two different drafts

 

[PcketknfNiels]

Would've taken Caron in a cocaine heartbeat if he'd been available at my next pick. Damn.

 

[PcketknfNiels]

How are old timey players being weighted in this? Is more credence being given to the numbers they put up or how they'd fare in a modern setting?

Also, has anyone checked if there would be a way to computer simulate these games as well? Like on a site like whatifsports or anywhere else?

Was really hoping Uncle Cliff would fall to me at 15. Dammit.

That's how I felt about Chris Smith.

My draft board doesn't look much better than my bracket did. Cross-outs and strike-throughs all over the place.

Can I get an invite to the discussion

I don't envy you. You made (IMO) the right number 1 pick, but waiting then 14 picks is brutal. Just between 4 and 13 I've had a couple of strikethroughs. It's rough.

I really wanted Caron and probably would have taken Ben too. Clearly just going to have a spacing/shooting team here.

The draft space gaps are really going to get brutal starting next round.

Also my plan. I understand why picking Donyell No. 2 was against conventional wisdom, but with him at stretch 4 my team will be unguardable. As great as he was back then, with the modern understanding of spacing and how to create it, he'd be even more highly valued today.

I had the option to take him but if I'm going to build a shooting team and Rays there I gotta take him. Took me a solid couple hours to decide between the 2 of them though.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Imagine having two picks at once!

 

[champs99and04]

Anybody see UCFBfan around? He's been on the clock for over 15 hours.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Sorry I took a little longer than usual; I was in a meeting at work when my turn came up again. (Hopefully champs can post my picks soon and we can continue the 3rd round.)

Sorry. Is there a way to get notifications to my e-mail that I got a message? I don't need one every time some responds to posts, just when I get a DM. Just curious. I'm in the process of buying a house while packing up our condo so I'm in and out a lot this week. Sorry for the delays.

No worries. I'm not exactly sure in regards to email notifications, but I think you can - ask jleves or another moderator, they'll probably know.

 

[PcketknfNiels]

It wouldn't be a bad idea for anyone who might be too busy to check regularly to PM champs a queue of guys in the order they'd draft them to be taken with their picks.

 

[jleves]

If it continues at this pace, you will be able to get Purvis and Daniel Hamilton in the late rounds.... Pick it the %#@* up! You're ruining something that should be great.

Indeed. Come on Game Two, we're falling behind.

We should do this again, with people who responded in a reasonable time.
