Thanks for Commishing TD.
While I am here, we have 1 confirmed opening in G20 Hoops league and are likely to have a 2nd. Would you like to REALLY test your mettle against 19 other teams in a true Dynasty Keeper league? This is the place to find out!
If you are interested or know a strong Hoops player that might be, please let me know.

Reminder Kafenatid now has pre-ranked like 100 players you can auto-import into your pre-rank. Don't think Fred has the order in there yet, but just wait.

This is only the order that is used to select draft position. However, the reverse of this order will be the waiver priority order to start the season (i.e, GO first, Blue Hen last.)
The draft is a standard snake, 16 rounds.

You can draft a player not listed at draftime.
Announce your pick on this thread, and pick an injured player that is out all year that is listed on draftime. An example is Nikola Pekovic.
If the player you pick is the ESPN database, I will add him to your roster.

Team Species draft recap: I have always loved the RIHC/RIBC leagues. The depth of these leagues gives me focus for my other leagues, as you really have to organize well and know your stuff to compete. It is a great time.
Draft selection: I could have had any spot after 7th. But in looking at the top 7, it was obvious that the top 5 (Curry, Westbrook, Harden, Durant and Towns) would be gone, and likely Chris Paul at either 6 or 7. After that, there is a pretty big swath of players that are fairly close together: LeBron, Kawhi, George, Boogie, Giannis, George, etc that all could make a claim for the 7th or 8th pick. As such, I worked backwards and crafted a strategy that got me a big man in Round 1 and a top PG in round 2. I figured one of Lillard or Lowry would get to me there. I was almost right – but it was John Wall that fell (I pegged him as having gone already in my scenario) and I was scared off by his knees. Still, the plan worked out as I thought….just not the guys I wanted.
Key draft picks: 1.10 DeMarcus Cousins, C, SAC: In a non-TO league, Cousins is a beast. I would have taken Davis if he had fallen, but it was Cousins who I thought would be here at this pick. I was very surprised to see Leonard still here and I nearly took him……..but decided to stick to the plan and get an elite C.
2.03 Paul George, SF, IND: Well, so much for Plan A. I correctly surmised that I would have my choice of the last of the top of Tier 2 PGs………..but I miscalculated and thought Wall would already be gone, leaving me (most likely) Lowry here. Ooops. I was scared by Wall’s knees so I went safe and took Paul George. Irving and Kemba were well below George in my rankings and I could not justify passing on such a stud.
3.10 Serge Ibaka, PF, ORL: I would have taken Klay if he fell, but mainly just for the best value. As the 3rd round unfolded, the only PG I would have still taken was Thomas, but he was gone at 3.06. Serge stood out as a strong value at this spot. He will be a valuable contributor with great ratios (particularly FT for a big), better scoring in ORL, decent rebounding and strong blocks.
4.03 Jeff Teague, PG, IND: It sickens me to take a guy like this here, but it is the nature of RIHC….PGs are gold (apparently) and I was one of the few who didn’t have one. Teague is boring but steady.
5.10 Brandon Knight, PG/SG, PHO: Not a big fan, but again when the pickings are slim you either take something with a bruise or a little mold on it, or you get out of the kitchen. Knight stood out as one of the better PG-ish guys out there (over other flawed guys like Jackson, Lavine, Lin, Payton, Collison, etc) so I took him.
6.03 Marcin Gortat, C, WAS: A steady C on a good team with a non-torpedo-ing FT (70%) who scores decently and gets a block or so.
Favorite late picks: I really liked getting Rodney Hood at 9.10 and particularly Teletovic at 14.03. From other teams, Biyombo at 13.06, Barton at 13.04 and Mudiay at 11.07 were pretty sweet.
Biggest draft regrets: The steal of the draft – even before Beverley went down – was easily Eric Gordon at 11.05. Why the F**K I took Harrison Barnes over him at 10.03 is beyond me (the answer is I was on jury duty and not paying enough attention, but I digress). I had targeted him as a steal and just missed it. My other regret was Simmons at 11.10, who I neglected to realize was going to be hurt and out two months.
I haven’t been able to really scout the other teams to see who is the favorite. Looking forward to a great season.

Good stuff Species. From the regular RIHC thread, I'll try and do one of these and maybe a few other can participate too. Always an interesting read.
1) Did you have a specific strategy going in? Did it go as expected? 2) What surprised you? 3) How did your approach change as things unfolded? 4) If you had to do it over, what would you do differently? 5) Your best and worst pick, in retrospect. 6) The 2 or 3 picks by other managers that you thought were especially good steals. 7) 2 or 3 players that were selected higher than you had expected. 8) If you had to trade your own team for one other owner's team in the league, whose would you want it to be?

1) Did you have a specific strategy going in? Did it go as expected? In general take best player available based on 2017 projections for first 5-6 rounds but at least one PG in there. It went pretty much as expected as Guru leagues tend to draft a lot of PG early.
2) What surprised you? The draft moved fairly quickly early and a lot of PG disappeared in the first 3 rounds but probably should have known from prior experience but still get surprised every year.
3) How did your approach change as things unfolded? 1.08 Took A. Davis--seemed like best player there. Was hoping Chris Paul would fall to me.
2.05 Was looking at Lillard or Wall but they got taken just in front of me. Probably should have taken K. Irving but had Butler rated ahead of him--in 20/20 hindsight not sure why anymore.
3.08 Klay Thompson--Despite Durant being there had him rated as top 3-point man after Curry. Hard to resist. The PG I wanted Isiah Thomas went. 4.05 Rondo--I panicked and took PG after Russell and McCollum, and Teague went. Liked Rondo despite FT% for assists over Rubio or Conley's all around game.
5.08 Tobias Harri--Was hoping a timberwolf would fall to me--Dieng or Wiggins. Would have taken DeRozan as had him above Harris but went with Forward since had K. Thompson and there were a lot of SG in available. I collected too many over the latter part of draft.
6.05 Myles Turner on potential as needed a center although it looked like he was a PF only at time of draft but it sounded like he would be playing center position and hopefully become center eligible.
4) If you had to do it over, what would you do differently? Probably taken Irving in second round and Kanter instead of Lens later in 20/20 hindsight.
5) Your best and worst pick, in retrospect.
Hopefully the best will be A. Davis and Butler who might also be worst pick for not taking Irving.
6) The 2 or 3 picks by other managers that you thought were especially good steals.
Zach Lavine @7.07 as I would have snapped him up at 7.08 and almost took him at 6.05 but needed a big. Rodney Hood @ 9.01
JR @ 12.07 as he was not listed until late and if he had been seen earlier I would have taken him. Steven Adams @ 11.02
7) 2 or 3 players that were selected higher than you had expected.
D. Jordan--bad FT Ben Simmons--injured J. Murray--rookie with deep denver guards but Harris injured could justify this pick
8) If you had to trade your own team for one other owner's team in the league, whose would you want it to be? I like my team but I like Gurudan, Species and Mailedfoot teams too.

Looking for blocks and have several SF/PF types that offer different stengths and weaknesses: Otto Porter, Harrison Barnes, Marcus Morris and TJ Warren to trade.

I'm looking for steals and blocks from a PF. I can offer guards. Oh so many guards.

Love it. Get to stay in first for the All Star break. May not see it again with the loss of Jabari Parker for the season.

Grats Foot. Tried to give ya a run for your money but kinda started to fizzle out the last week.
Last two or three days was looking over my shoulder at Species and sR. All came down to the last day for the 2nd and 3rd spot, and a bid for the Championship League next year. Was checking every stat, and watching every rest announcement.

Congrats Foot. This league was close top to bottom all season. Looks like I dealt Westbrook just a little too late, and ran out of PG room too early. Thanks for a great season, everyone.

Congrats Foot and Bean. Yeah, I should have been more diligent with GP (and quality GP) over the last month. Fell just short.

Congrats to Foot and Bean. Congrats also to species and sr as I could never seem to catch them all season.

Thanks everyone. This was a tough league and fortunately I had some players who performed really well down the stretch.
