    No, there's still another extremely popular player in China that's still available. Wouldn't put it past him to select this player in mind...and it would actually be a pretty good pick, IMO

    - or at least, it wouldn't be a terrible pick.

    no, it's a certain mr. mcgrady. i guess he's alright but his playoff record and shot selection have often been under the suspicion of sucking.

    Yup. Another ~35 minutes until you pick!

    These drafts are weird. in a short period of time, like 6 picks are made, then we gotta wait 6 hours for the guy that's gonna get skipped

    Pierce wasn't taken when I posted this, so add him to the "wouldn't even consider" category.

    wouldn't this draft have been a lot more effective if we all agreed to use a chatroom or something on a certain day at a certain time that the most ppl could make it on? I understand that the offseason is long and we want something to do but I can see people definitely losing interest in the long run.

    its always been like this. And we couldn't get 30 people in a chatroom at the same time for long enough. Plus this is more of a thing to pass time.

    Well I think it could work, just at the start of the sign-up say. This draft will occur on Saturday at 3 PM Eastern time, each person will have a maximum of 10 minutes drafting time. If a person doesn't show up then they will be replaced by someone on the waiting list.

    Finding 30 people who could all be online at the same time could be difficult. and 30 picks/round*10 minutes/pick*12 rounds=60 hours. so that wouldn't really work either. even if people just take 1 minute/pick, its still 6 hours on line.

    I do have another idea, however, but it would hinder trading until after the draft, or during rounds if no one falls that you like.
