    Our drafts are now finished and here are the results of all three drafts.
    Undrafted players have been given a value of 157.
    Some of the outlier picks have been highlighted.
    The green picks are reaches (more than 1.3 Std Dev less than the ADP).
    The orange picks are bargains (more than 1.3 Std Dev more than the ADP).
    Let us know how many you had of each.



    I found it interesting that:
    • The top 4 players were in a different order in all 3 drafts. SGA and Wemby, in particular, were both picked in a different spot in each draft.
    • Luka went at 5 in all 3 drafts. He was the only player to be drafted at the same spot in all 3 drafts.
    • The next lowest standard deviation was 0.47, which meant there was only 1 pick separating where they got drafted in all 3 leagues - Jokic, Giannis, Cade, & Lavine.
    • It was quite remarkable for Lavine who was drafted at 60, 61 & 61. Noting picks 60 & 61 were picked by the same coach, so he could have been picked at either pick in the double.
    • Darius Garland and Dennis Schroder were also both taken at similar spots in all 3 drafts. Garland at 77, 78 & 76; and Schroder at 131, 133 & 132!
    • Ace Bailey had the biggest std dev because he was drafted at 98 in Div-1 but 139 & 150 in the other two.
    • The highest ranked player to get drafted in just 1 league was Jaylen Wells who was drafted at 105 in Premier.
    • The highest ranked who went undrafted in at least 1 league was Kyrie Irving who was drafted at 96 in Div-2 & 118 in Div-1, but undrafted in Premier.
    • Two players were drafted with the last pick in one draft and undrafted in both others - Johhny Furphy in Premier & Brook Lopez in Div-2.
    • The lowest ranked player who was only drafted in Div-1 was PJ Washington who was drafted at 149.
    • The lowest ranked player who was drafted in at least 2 leagues was Chris Boucher, who was drafted at 151 in Premier & with the last pick in Div-1, but undrafted in Div-2.
    • The lowest ranked player who was drafted in all 3 leagues was Klay Thompson, drafted at 147, 153 & 144 in Premier, Div-1 & Div-2 respectively.

    I usually say what teams I like the most....
    Not in any particular orders, the top-4 in each league imo are.
    Premier:
    @crossy @stowie @Bearfly and @nicksnow

    Div-1:
    @InVossWeTrust @costak @Lethal and @The Royals

    Div-2:
    @Leftover_Laksa @Len @Jacob Doole and @Danners

      I like my team but huge chance I run out of IR spots. Wanted amen or giddey in round 2 but they went the two picks before mine. Debated kd or mobely and then mobely was there in round 3 so was happy about that. Hopefully the old boys body’s can hold up

      Looks like premier took a lot more of a cautious approach with guys starting the season with any injuries dropping quite significantly. Sabonis, James, Fox, Hart, Herro and even the uncertainty around the impact on Brown with Tatum missing all saw hefty drops (bargains). I found that interesting.

      Appreciate the shout out...team landed well. happy with Zion at 35...breakout year imo. Would have been better though but you stole Edgecomb with the last pick just before me :(

      I was considering Zion at 17! My pick at 17 was a bit of a smoky, but I think he's in for a big season! Jamal Murray...
      But then Durant was still available at 31 so I felt I had to take him there (he was another I considered at 17). IMO you are lucky to get Zion at 35.
      Edgecombe was just a flier with my last pick. At least we know he's starting and he's played well in the preseason, but I dont have a lot of confidence in him.

      I think the disparity between premier and the other two drafts is in large part because premier had all 12 coaches present, but both other drafts had at least two coaches autodrafting. Im not sure if they set their pre-draft rankings, but it looks like some didnt. As a result, I think a lot of the premier div reaches/sliders were a better more realistic spot for those players.

      Premier's draft was super competitive once again. Got sniped so many times!
      The round reversal also worked out well. I think we should keep that format.
      Thanks Ant for manually re-shuffling the draft picks for all 3 leagues!

      Happy with my draft, missed a few I'd hoped for which is standard.
      2 bargains in Mosely at 37 v ADP of 30.3, and Pritchard at 84 v ADP of 74
      1 "reach" in Lopez at 156 v ADP of 156.7 so I'll take that :)

      Thanks for keeping this alive and healthy @anthak
