In Yahoo's league they allow you to exclude players that you wouldn't want to be drafted onto your team no matter what. Just out of curiosity, who did you guys exclude from your team's draft?
I excluded Allan Houston, Glenn Robinson, Milt Palacio [just because], Alonzo Mourning, Jamal Mashburn, TJ Ford, Darius Miles, Vlade Divac, Jerry Stackhouse
I only exclude players after I rank about 150 players, just in case they might still be available. I think I only excluded Houston, Glenn Robinson, and Reggie Miller this year.
I excluded AI, Baron Davis, Steve Francis, and Lebron. I don't feel like dealing with guys that can score but shoot a low %. It ended up working out well, because guard-wise I got Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Michael Redd, and some others.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Francis</div> This year he should have 21-6-6, 1.7+ steals, 80-100 three's, 44%+, 34% + from three, and about 78-80% from the line The only problem is turnovers, I don't think you should've excluded him in terms of FG% because last year was just ad for him with KVH, remember he's the Franchise again [till Howard explodes]

I have a feeling he will end up being a 42% shooter over his career, especially now he's more of a focus in Orlando.
Ford, Jefferson, (have no idea why) Kidd, Pippen, Wagner, Webber, Payton, Davis, Marshall, Cassel, Van Horn, Houston, Stackhouse, Van Exel, and Miles. Looking back I'm really glad I had a live draft.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Fletcher:</div><div class="quote_post">Webber</div> You're so gonna regret that.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Fletcher:</div><div class="quote_post">Marshall.</div> Donyell?! He's a fantasy stud.
I expect Cassell and Payton to be valuable point guards, in fact Cassell is probably my favorite overall point guard if he's available around the end of the 2nd round due to his overall numbers. Van Horn is also an underrated fantasy contributor along with Marshall.
Yeah, yeah I know. I was just thinking injuries and age and nothing else. And Donyell really wasn't one of my better ideas.

He's not consistant. I'd rather have someone that score 20 nearly every night than someone who scores 10 one night and 30 the next.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Supersonic:</div><div class="quote_post">Donyell?! He's a fantasy stud.</div> Not this year when he's sitting on the bench picking up only cheap minutes at the 3, 4 and even 5. If he was starting he'd be a superstar, but he isn't going to be happy on the bench, and it will show in his play.

Knowing him he'll just produce quality off the bench until Toronto have no choice but to play him.
i excluded kobe bryant..why you might ask, just cuz i don't like his ego, besides i had the 9th pick there was no way in hell kobe would fall down that far. after watching him play the first game, i liked how he was trying to get everybody involved, the second game..well that's the kobe i expected..
