just wondering... who did u take with ur first pick? and in ur league... who was the first player to be taken?

i actually missed the first two rounds of my draft, so the computer auto picked for me based of yahoo! rankings. i had the #2 overall pick. the guy ahead of my picked tim duncan. the computer picked paul pierce for me. DAMMIT! i wanted shaq. would anyone recommend picking pierce ahead of shaq? according the the yahoo! rankings... pierce is actually rated #1 overall. that made me feel a little better.... but i still wanted shaq dammit! quality centers are pretty hard to get, and there is a plentiful supply of small forwards. ah crap!

really? hmm... i mean... i know pierce is good, but #1 overall? i was thinking shaq would be first.. then duncan... then mcgrady... then who knows. so is pierce a real fantasy stud, or is this just hype from last years playoffs?

Apparently so.. only the first 4 picks ie players #1-4 were actually there for the live draft.. everyone else just made a ranking list

Pierce, Paul (GF-Bos)
Garnett, Kevin (SF-Min) <-- my pick
Nowitzki, Dirk (FC-Dal)
Duncan, Tim (FC-SA)
O'Neal, Shaquille (C-LAL)
McGrady, Tracy (GF-Orl)
Payton, Gary (PG-Sea)
Francis, Steve (G-Hou)
Bryant, Kobe (SG-LAL)
Walker, Antoine (F-Bos)
Kidd, Jason (PG-NJ)
Marion, Shawn (SF-Pho)

I think there were only 5 people who showed up to the draft.

my league has 7 ppl...small private league
i picked third...

1: kobe (kobe fanboy)
2: paul pierce (definate 1st round, ppl laughed at me for picking him 2nd round last year...but the guy wasn't here...was computer picked)
3: duncan
4: KG
5: mcgrady
and on and on...
i managed to get shaq 2nd round...no one wanted him because of FT and his injury...
got elton brand 3rd round...solid front right there...
and i picked up iverson 4th round...with his FT and FG balanced out by Shaq's FT and FG

I missed my draft, got kinda busy at work then totally forgot about it. I got Iverson and Webber, though. In the AT league, if I had pick #9 first round, does that mean I got pick #4 in the 2nd round?

Oh and I got stuck with David Robinson...yeck

I overslept when my draft was taking place... I'm in Stark's league... but at least I got Jason Kidd for my 1st pick.

I guess I'll start another league and decide what to do.

I'm in both of Stark's AT leagues.

In one of them I got Tmac with #5 overall, KG went #1.

In the other I got KG with #7 overall, Duncan went #1, however I wasn't there for this draft.

just make sure to post the league id and password. I'm sure there are plenty still wanting to get in a league. There might still be spots in boris' jungle league (user: eminem2k).

Garnett, Kevin (SF-Min)

Nowitzki, Dirk (FC-Dal)
O'Neal, Shaquille (C-LAL)
Duncan, Tim (FC-SA)
McGrady, Tracy (GF-Orl)
Francis, Steve (G-Hou)
Brand, Elton (FC-LAC)
Payton, Gary (PG-Sea)
Bryant, Kobe (SG-LAL)

Here's how my draft went. I picked up Duncan with the 5th pick who I would have picked up even with the first pick so I'm pretty happy.
