Random number assignment completed, teams in the OP. I'll put the draft order up in a minute and we can get started. OP will have picks 1-30. Second post will have picks 31-59.

Awesome, we're set. I'll post the draft order in a minute.

We just need one more. If we don't get another by the time I go to bed at like 10pm est, I'll just reorganize the teams to work for 9 and get this started.

I think we were a bit further away than you do, but I appreciate your optimism.

@seattlejazzfan @sip @Elizah Huge @Coach Ellis We need two more. No big deal if you don't want to do this. I just looked at the participants from last year. Maybe you hated it...

Where's @Ferguson_Mellochill? Also @Chargers Jazz Angels usually likes to do this. I'm not begging, but if you are interested let me know.

Usually it's done via direct message, but some like to air it out in the thread. It doesn't really matter, but it needs to be clear that both participants have agreed to the trade before I'll change the board up. You also don't have to make trades and can just play your teams straight, that's...

I feel the same way, but I'll admit, that if I was a GM making this decision I would have a very hard time picking Kas over Tre/Ace/VJ. I talk a big talk, but when it comes down to it I would be scared and probably go with the consensus

Yes, and there will inevitably be teams that get much better. I think you have to say that we will be better than Memphis's team this year to say that we will definitely make the playoffs next year.

Salaun was a reach in a bad draft (I was never super high on him). I think there are enough hits and only a reasonable amount of misses to not count out international guys all together. Admittedly international ball is very different and hard to compare to NCAA. I've been trying to...

I think a good way to think of this exercise is what would we have to do to be better than Memphis next year. They have JJJ, Ja Morant, Bane, and a bunch rotation level players. We definitely need more than a journeyman point guard and Malik Beasley.

Of the lottery picks that aren't in NBA rotations it's only Deng (who's still a highly thought of prospect in OKC), and Hayes.

The guys from last draft are probably to soon to say anything. So I've highlighted the guys that are still in NBA rotations. Honestly it's not too bad. A lot of the guys that aren't in NBA rotations were later first round picks anyway.

This thread is kind of funny. There is such a wide range of views for how far away we are from the playoffs.

Just out of curiosity I looked at the prospects out of international leagues selected in the first round of the past 7 drafts: Risacher, Sarr, Salaun, Topic, AJ Johnson, Dadiet, Wemby, Bilal, Deng, Jovic, Giddey, Sengun, Garuba, Ball, Hayes, Avdija, Poku, Balmaro, Sekou, Goga, Samanic, Doncic, Musa

Yeah, it's interesting. I would love for someone with more knowledge than me to put out a power ranking with all of the leagues that prospects are playing in. He would be mine, for example, but I'm far from the most knowledgeable. Spain Turkey Italy SEC Big 10 France Big 12 Germany Big East...

We need 3 more. Who else is interested?

Cool and thanks. I'm not an expert on international ball, although I've learned a lot this year. I'm just going off of the video I have access to (Cashiggy and Hardwood Hoops). Some of the teams he is playing against look ok, but a lot of the teams don't have great length/skill. FWIW, I...

OK, I don't have those numbers. How many games was that?

Feels like a shot at me. I was just sharing what I saw in the film. His actual rebound rate (not just for this game) is good, but not great, especially considering how much longer he is than everyone else he plays with.
