Looks like the next 3-4 guys who pick are online, myself included. Keep those trigger fingers away torn lol.

Drafting. right now. once the roster is filled. you can make trades. set minutes. or put the team on auto pilot and get involved again the next offseason.

At some point when the the live draft concludes Everyone will submit their top 20 picks from the remaining players and I will use that to autofill the rosters in draft order and ask for more picks once those 20 guys are off the board

There is a league thread in the rcf fantasdy board for more details

When are we suspending the draft? Like, if my pick is at 2:00 am do I have until the next morning to make it or are we picking throughout the night?

OKC takes: C Rudy Gobert

On a team with Thompson, you go upside at C. Gobert has maybe more of it than any center in the NBA. A guy who can anchor the middle of the defense and thrive away from the ball. This is likely a little high but there's no chance he's there in the 3rd for me. I love how he projects down the road and he's one of the few centers that can play in the modern pace and space league.

@Plaxicofan7 is up next.

Thank you for keeping this going.

The porn draft is at a pick a day and people have been begging for an end to it.

We all signed up knowing how this goes, there's no reason it should take long.. It takes three minutes to see the best pic available and everyone is on here constantly.

The draft does not suspend. I'm just not actively managing it after 11:00PM. people can draft whenever its their turn. between 4-11 though its timed and we have 2 more days of timed drafting then the next stage starts

I really wish there was a way to make this quicker. Are we doing like a free agency type deal if there are players who don't get drafted?

The Brooklyn Nets select center Marc Gasol

It was a really tough decision deciding between Gasol and Whiteside. But Gasol is arguably the 2nd best center in the league, even at the age of 31, and I could not pass that up. There aren't many centers that can give you an offensive touch combined with top tier passing for a big man combined with all-NBA defensive prowess. Really didn't expect either to be here at this point, and was a good problem to have. Pairing up an offensive powerhouse in Damian Lillard with a defensive stalwart such as Marc Gasol, who can do almost anything on the floor, seems like a great starting point for any team.

No everyone will send me their top 20 list and I will run the draft by priorities. when people run out of folks on their top 20 list I pm them for a new list. this will be the process to fill out all 13 slots. I am hoping we are midway through round 4 or on round 5 by the time that stage begins.. we are already halfway through round 2 tonight.

Welp, back to the drawing board for the Kings.

@Tornicade question... Are we operating under the assumption that Chris Bosh is a normal, healthy, blood clot free human/dinosaur?
