I've completed 15 drafts. I got first pick four times. I couldn't get myself to pick Giannis, going with Curry in ALL situations. 🙁
I wish I had him.
I have ONE last draft left. Thank goodness it's an expert auction. I am budgeting $100 of my $200 to get Giannis. I don't give a crap, I WILL own him one way or another!
How many people in the league? If it's 14 or more then $100 probably isn't going to be enough.....
4 leagues, and didn't get my homeboy James Harden in any of them. In the 4 years I've played fantasy, I've had Harden in three of those years and won those three times. Am looking to break that trend this year, but it will be hard :'(
2 leagues and only guy I really missed was KAT. Went for too much in my draft I think.
Didn't manage to get me ANY Aaron Gordon or Gary Harris. When I have a 40's-50's pick and Oladipo is still there, I take Dipo over gordon or harris, although I like both of them a lot
Also didn't manage to get any Avery Bradley- who I think will do better than Gary Harris for his hustle stats
Yeah, someone nabbed Aaron Gordon a round earlier than I expected. And Myles Turner nearly fell to me in the late second of a 14 team.
This was a good year for me. Got my guys Miro and Thad in both roto leagues, and got Gordon in one.
I didn't get any Gary Harris, but he went too early for my taste, anyway.
I like my squads in a weird twist. Usually I look back after a draft and wonder what I was thinking a bunch of times. I really only felt that way once this year, and that was when I ended up with Teague in a league where I didn't have any guards early.
I'm an all roto 9 cat guy... I'm mostly happy after 6 drafts (4 Y! snake, 1 Y! auction, 1 hoop-ball listener snake), with my Y! Winner snake remaining tonight. Stand-outs are Antetokounmpo picking 3rd, Towns picking 8th!!!, Antetokounpo at 69$, Curry-Porzingis-Turner combo... In my auction yesterday I had some bad juju... accidently bid on Isaiah for 21$ when picking up my iPad. So that made it much harder to get my guys, but I managed... And in every draft you think you have a good read on where people are going and then someone with a shit team picks the guy you were targeting next! Still having lots of fun and feel like I have a great shot to win most of my leagues.

I like that "most drafted" list. I feel like we should start a new forum thread for that.
I got most of the guys I wanted but I missed out on Mirotic and Dennis Smith in every single one of my leagues. DSJ got sniped one pick before me, i literally had my mouse over the "DRAFT" button and then all of a sudden it went grey, I looked up and saw " Curry in a Hurry has taken Dennis Smith Jr". Almost cried.
Najee Adams
Missed out on Myles Turner. I cry??
He kept going at 12-16, royally pissed me off as I got sniped in one of my leagues at 16. Arghhhhh.
Only in one league but seemed to miss all my targets by 1 or 2 picks (2nd round missed CP3, 3rd Klay, 4th Middleton, 5th Capella, 7th Harris)for the first 7 rounds but pretty much got all my(HOOP BALL) guys after that
2 leagues, first pick in both! Giannis in one, Curry in the other. Missed Turner in both. Knew I wasn't going to get my man Jokic. Missed out on Aaron and Prince in both*, Harris in one.
I do have these guys on both teams: Paul George, Clint Capela, Richaun Holmes, Joe Ingles and Kelly Olynyk.
*I might be able to get Prince off WW in both tomorrow, dropping KO for him. He was dropped in both leagues but I'm 10th on the WW list in each. Fingers crossed!
Didn't get Jokic on any of my teams, after having him on all of them last year.
I realize the following is Hoop Ball sacrilege, but Jokic is a BIT priced out this year. If you get him near the turn you're in good shape but if he's going at like 6/7 it's gonna be awfully hard for him to outperform that mark.
