Autodrafting a fantasy draft is grounds for dismissal. I stand by my position! sure, give him time, but don't be surprised when the guy who posted once since 2010 does not participate in the league.
@Yaniv gets Nikola Jokic. Hopefully he can check in before his round 2 pick or I'll look into another arrangement. @Rocketball is up...
Great, so excited with this pick.... Give me S. Curry... yes both of the sissy brothers.... well at least the chick in San Francisco...
Sorry @Ray Martinez -- gotta keep it moving. I thought there would at least be a few picks overnight. Next on the list is LeBron James. @Garner is up...
With the 9th pick of the BobFinn 2019-2020 Fantasy Basketball Draft.....I select.... Damian Lillard @Ziggy , you're on the clock!
I'll take Russ. Why do we have FOURTEEN people and why are we doing a LIVE draft if everyone is on autodraft? This is weird.
The fact people are autodrafting already is a little nuts. I know the draft started a bit abruptly but still, there was plenty of time to get the email / board notification / whatever. Hopefully it straightens out. 14 teams is great but it becomes in effect 10 or 12 teams if you've got some non-participating teams filling in league spots. I'll take Andre Drummond. @Plowman
Autodrafting is not fun. I suggest/propose we cut Yaniv and Ray Martinez from the league, go down to 12, and restart the draft. If you're autodrafting now, you're definitely not going to set your roster and then the entire H2H format is a bust (roto helps with this).
I don't know. The other option would have been to do fast live, but we've got it started now so will roll with it. There does seem to be a greater level of non-involvement, and I'm a little concerned about Yaniv in particular. On the other hand, the first round is usually the slowest so maybe it will pick up steam. Auto-pick is only in place as a safety net for the first two rounds so that nobody gets put in too deep of a hole, and goes away starting round 3. Will probably cut the timer back to 4 hours then too.
I suggest if you auto-draft the first and second rounds, you're removed from the league and we collectively take a mulligan. Yes, we are in motion, but we're also a whopping 10 picks deep and people are now aware we're going. We shouldn't overstate how committed to this path we currently are.
