    why not live draft? I might do it if it was that..

    edit: Also, what's up w/having FGM and PTS as categories? Seems to make the league scoring-biased.. Also odd to have offensive rebounds separated, but I guess that is sometimes something you can draft for separate from defensive rebounding..though not often

    Sorry but it will be really tough to make it live. With 20 teams and 15 player rosters, I don't think it's very realistic. Unless we have very COMMITTED people but if a significant number of managers do not show up it'll force the rest of us to wait till the 3 minute timer to go all the way down (every round).

    However, playing in a 20 team league in such a deep league is extremely fun for hardcore NBA fans because it really tests your knowledge and you also get to play a different team every week.

    We can see how many people are willing to do live-draft and if we can come up with a good draft time/day. Meanwhile, you can preset your player lists.

    Right now there are 11 categories. I believe it's ideal to have an odd number of categories in Head-to-head matchups.

    Offensive rebound are separated from Defensive rebound however they're not counted twice with a REB category. I think there is a slight scoring bias with the FGM category but I think it's important to have with the presence of the 3PTM category.

    I also like the A/TO category but I think it may be redundant as Assists and Turnovers are already categories.

    Can we all commit to a live draft time? I know 20 peoples a lot but if people are really dedicated and the league is going to be competitive I'm sure we can set the draft on like a Monday evening or something and at least 15 people will be there. Shoot considering the freaks (me included) that are on clutchfans 24/7 I'm sure we can dedicate time to a live draft.

    PS these will be the first 3 players on my team

    Yao
    McGrady
    Artest

    :D

    That sounds good with me. We should set a day within the first week before the regular season starts.

    Last year, due to no live draft, I wound up with at least 8 centers. Lets see... I remember having Bynum, Bogut, Howard, Curry, and at least 2 other guys. I still wound up 2nd.

    Autodraft leaves things mostly up to chance.
