Personally, I do not care if you are there for the draft or not.

Don't join if you are a. going to ***** and moan. b. ask for draft time or league settings to be changed

I drafted a terrible team.

Initially I went for big men since this league (like most default leagues) has two center spots. I always love guys with position versatility, so my PG/SG/SF slots will be a mish-mash.

I'm not very happy with my guard talent... my best guys are Hinrich and Iguodala. Of course, that's absolutely a product of going big over small, which means I'll lose categories like three pointers, points, and ft%, but i'll make it up in rebounds, blocks, etc.

I went rookie-heavy in later rounds since they'd just be riding my bench anyway on that 20-deep roster. I figure that most of these guys will start catching a bunch of playing time if their teams fade toward the end of the year... and at least one of them will have a significant impact on his team all year long.

Plus, it's more fun to check out the stat lines of rookies than it is guys like Earl Boykins and Bruce Bowen.

1. (7) E. Brand PF
2. (18) J. O'Neal PF,C
3. (31) M. Camby C
4. (42) K. Hinrich PG,SG
5. (55) A. Iguodala SG,SF
6. (66) L. Deng SG,SF
7. (79) B. Roy PG,SG
8. (90) M. Miller SG,SF
9. (103) C. Wilcox PF,C
10. (114) C. Frye PF,C
11. (127) S. Brown PG,SG
12. (138) E. Curry C
13. (151) G. Hill SF
14. (162) S. Livingston PG
15. (175) L. Aldridge SF,PF
16. (186) R. Gay SF,PF
17. (199) A. Bargnani SF,PF
18. (210) Ty. Thomas SF,PF
19. (223) M. Ager PG,SG
20. (234) R. Rondo PG,SG

My early pick to win the league is XXL. On several of his picks, he grabbed the guy I was targeting and basically forced me to take an alternative (Amare Stoudemire, Corey Maggette, Baron Davis are all guys I had lined up but he took). We'll see what happens, but I think his team has the best chance to succeed.

In the long run, I'm hoping my regular can produce with consistency, and that 1-2 of my rookies develop into guys who will make an impact.

I also took flyers on a few guys who have potential (Chris Wilcox, Channing Frye, Shaun Livingston) and if at least one of them is consistently good (hopefully Wilcox of Frye because of ther Center-eligibility) I'll be happy.

I graded my draft out as a solid B. It has upside, but by missing out on some of my targets I don't think I'll do much more than finish in the top 4-5 and then crap out in the playoffs.
