He was auto picked in div 1 for an absent drafter on the night

Yes I was shocked at that too. He was waay down on my draft list. But I was happy that it meant I was more likely to get Jimmy Butler at 19 which I was hoping for lol.

Unfortunately we had one team on auto pick in Div1, and it seems they didn’t set up their draft list much….

Did either of the other two drafts have anyone on auto pick?

Nothing wrong with reaching if they work out You gotta grab em before someone else does anyway

Good to hear Premier had a full turnout. It usually does.
Div 1 had one absent for the draft.
And I hear that Div 2 had at least two absent, including Rodgo who looks like a non-starter.

@rodgo first started playing in our second season back in 2011 and has played every season since.
That '11/'12 season, he actually took over a team half way through the season after an existing coach went AWOL.
Rodgo hadn't committed for this season, but we were one short so we left him in the league as a placeholder.
He had at times been late to commit in previous seasons, so we were holding out hope he'd turn up late again.
We've had confirmation he didn't attend the draft, so it looks like he wont be around.

If he happens to turn up at some stage through the season, he will be able to continue with the team.
In the meantime I will tokenly make sure his lineup is set each day.
I need to be in the league as the league manager anyway so I have moved myself over to rodgo's team.
I wont be putting much thought into daily lineups and I wont be riding the waiver wire every day.
That said, the team drafted two IR eligible players, so I have moved them to the IR and put a waiver claim on two free agents.
I will continue to monitor injured players and perhaps replace them from time to time.

This team will be ineligible for promotion, unless a new owner takes over the team at some stage of the season.

yes, that would be great, thanks
Please ask them to post in here and also PM me their email address

It's great that you can take the team.
League invite has been sent.

Good luck, and have fun

Just for the record, now that @Josh Sparks is taking over the team, I canceled the two waiver claims I had set up. One was Jae Sean Tate who ended up being picked up by someone else instead. The other is still available so I won’t mention his name.

I was considering Jalen Suggs who got picked up too, as well as one other PG who is surprisingly still available so I won’t name him - its an absolute legend who was drafted in the top-100 in one of our other leagues. But this team already has heaps of guards, so had to overlook the guards and prioritise forwards.

As it stands, still waiting for Josh to accept the invite and take over the team, so they still currently have two vacant roster spots.

These predictions are looking mostly poor after 3 rounds! C’mon folks!

I have never seen a start of a season like it where my team has been smashed from pillar to post with injuries. It is going to be long way back.
