  Lol should be interesting. Just better make sure they aren't wildcards as you've used both of yours.

  Updated. We're actually making very good progress.

  Fantrax is probably helping, but personally I liked last year with having to search hard for people to take even though it was a bitch sometimes, haha. It is nice having a database to go through now though. Think teams overall will probably be more even than last year.
• Azubuike24

  

  Possibly true, but the reason I didn't have a problem providing that is...things are so variable in college basketball. There are going to be at least a half dozen guys who are yet to be taken who will end up being top 50 scorers in this league. It's just so hard to predict the roles of some guys, especially once you get past the #1 or #2 players on the team.
  
  Have you noticed that no Kentucky Wildcats, Kansas Jayhawks, Arizona Wildcats and 1 Duke Blue Devil (who I feel was a big reach) have been taken yet? The same is pretty much similar with many of the better teams, who outside of them having a completely dominant star (which I'm assuming he feels Okafor will be), haven't had many players taken.
  
  Last year, I believe McDermott, Smart, Parker, Wiggins, Randle, etc...were first rounders. Obviously the draft is slightly different this year, but it's interesting how much the hype of teams and recruits really drive perception.

  Okafor is a pre-season all american in a lot of the websites I check. CBS even has him for their POY. I know it all means nothing but I think he's a conservative bet for 16 and 8. And then 1 assist, steal, and block a game. That's over 30 fantasy points right there.
  
  Plus, he's a center. That's huge in our game.

  Yeah, I would've taken Okafor as the first center after Williams. Not sure it's a stretch at all since he is a C.

  Williams isn't a center for our purposes.

  Sorry to de-rail the draft a bit.

  Haha you're not derailing it. But I'm a little disappointed in Rec.... I was expecting a big long post from him about Okafor BEFORE he made his pick.

  I have given up the good fight. Ha. Now if Adhonis were to stop by...

  Give me Davonte Lacy, G, Washington St.
  
  Also, Az...I was looking on the fantrax app, and we don't have bench spots. Is that something that will be added automatically as we add more players to our roster?

  Might be the first player of the draft that I was legitimately unaware that he existed.

  Haha it's a bit of a reach. I just figured I have to take him now as centers are getting pretty desperate that aren't wildcards. I watched him a bit last year just hope he can improve on the offensive side of the ball and play more minutes.
