Fantasy NBA League / New Commish needed

« on: December 18, 2011, 03:42:56 PM »

I'm stepping down as commish.  I don't feel like dealing with it anymore. 

You are free to continue using this board.  The draft order is all setup, and the draft keepers are all setup.  So at this point all you really have to do is find a draft time that everybody doesn't whine and complain about.

If you want to be commish, send me an email (derek.bodner@phillyarena.com)

Fantasy NBA League / New Draft Time

« on: December 18, 2011, 03:06:00 PM »

So, I'm an idiot. I thought when I carried over the settings from the previous season, it would carry over the draft time. Apparently not, and in my haste to quickly setup the league, it set it up as an autopick league. I changed it, but it wouldn't let me select any time today.

My apologies. A combination of the low amount of time we had to setup the league, lack of free time and my haste in setting it up and I screwed up. Let me know what day this week works best for all of you and I'll try to get it scheduled during that time.

Fantasy NBA League / 2011-2012 Draft Order Selection

« on: December 08, 2011, 04:23:45 PM »

In years past, we have used dice to randomly select the draft order, then allowed people to select the slots.  Thsi year, because of the time restraints, and because people very rarely select anything other than the top slot available, we're just auto filling the slots.

Starting this now. 

Based on last years results:
Consolation (picks 1-6):
1) Tom
2) Ted
3) Derek
4) Columbia
5) Skander
6) Rockport

Champions (picks 7-12)
1) jemagee
2) Norwegian
3) Jihad
4) Genghis
5) cord
6) Arsenal

Rolling the 6 sided die for picks 1-6 (consolation) now.  the side of the die you get is the position.

NBA Discussion / 2010 Fantasy Info / Keeper Declaration

« on: October 06, 2010, 02:59:34 PM »

Because of the time crunch, and the fact that almost everyone takes the highest slot available, we're just going to be assigning the slots based on the lottery.

Last years finish:
1) Cord
2) Archangel
3) WoW
4) Tom
5) Ted
6) Wolverine
7) Joe
8.) Derek
9) Columbia
10) Norwegian
11) Jemagee
12) westkoast

Lottery
Lottery #'s were assigned based on finish, broken down into championship and consolation.  So Joe and Cord both matched to "1", Derek and Archangel "2", etc.

The first 6 drawings were from the consolation bracket, second 6 from championship bracket.

The balls were drawn in this order:
4 (Norwegian)
2 (Derek)
1 (Joe)
6 (Westkoast)
5 (Jemagee)
3 (Columbia)
4 (Tom)
6 (Wolverine)
5 (Ted)
3 (Jihad)
1 (Cord)
2 (Archangel)

Philadelphia 76ers / 2009-2010 College Basketball Thread (aka pre-pre-pre-pre draft thread)

« on: November 16, 2009, 11:43:58 PM »

Just watched the game tape from Kansas' dismantling of Hofstra.  Hard to read too much into games this early in the season, but Xavier Henry's a guy who you should keep your eye on.  He's a guy I think will shoot up the boards come draft time, and a guy that would be a great fit for the Sixers.  He has his weaknesses, some of which (midrange game) that I think is correctable, others that I have more longer term worries about (his body control on drives seemed a little questionable, but I'm hoping this is small sample size), but his stroke is pure, and something that should carry over.  Good size, good lengths, good athleticism.  His handle's extremely unpolished at this point, and that's going to be key.  With his shooting and athleticism, if he develops his handle he could be a top 10 pick.

Fantasy NBA League / Draft thoughts?

« on: October 25, 2009, 10:38:05 AM »

can't believe there's not a thread on this yet. 

I was really happy with my draft through the first 8 rounds, although I took some calculated risks (Josh Smith would have a bounceback year, Anthony Randolph would take what he showed at the end of the year and continue to get PT and develop). 

Louis Williams was a definite reach, but I was willing to take a gamble on him.  With nobody legitimate behind him (Ivey doesn't have talent, Holiday doesn't have experience, etc), he should get some decent minutes, and if he gets 35+ mpg he should put up some numbers (even if his impact isn't as strong).  That being said, there were some better options.  I was justifying taking this risk with the hope that on my next round of picks I would be able to get one of either Tyreke Evans or Jonny Flynn, both rookies I'm fairly high on.  Neither of them made it to my next pick, which is what's tough about being on one of the ends of the draft.

I can't complain too much about Miller (10th round) or Abubuike (12th round).  I probably would have taken Gasol over Miller in the 10th, but Thabeet makes me a bit nervous about Gasol's long term (RE: Jan +) fantasy impact.  Golden State always makes me nervous with their rotation, but I needed a SG/SF bad, and if Azu gets time similar to last year, I like him in the 12th round (hopefully Jackson gets his wish and gets traded). 

Harden's a slight risk in the 11th, but the only risk in his playing time/looks.  If he gets the opportunity, he'll put up 14/4, and has the ability to go higher.  Of course, I now have two Thunder wing players.  Hopefully Green stays at PF full time this year.

13th round was a major gaffe.  I thought it was the 14th round, so I took Hickson on the off chance he could beat out (or at least get similar minutes to) Vareajo, but realizing that he would likely be dropped.  Unfortunately it was the 13th round, and there was still some talent standing around.  Oops.

Overall I'd rate myself as a B on the draft

Fantasy NBA League / Still not joined - Westkoast and cord/jerry lewis

« on: October 13, 2009, 10:19:59 AM »

I'm assuming westkoast shouldn't be a problem (maybe he's just not checking his email?  I'll send him a PM), but I haven't gotten a response from cord/cudall/jerry lewis.  Can those who know him try contacting him?  If we don't get a response from him in the next week, we may have to fill his spot.
