I’m really interested to see if higher means anything hear or if everyone is just equally mediocre

jethroeg is up first to pick!

Billy Cunningham

I'd like to request to have my time slot moved for upcoming lotteries. I've picked in the top 10 once in Savage out of 11 times, a little better in ODL but usually because of my past performance, and now 13,18,21 in BOWIS. I personally think it will be pretty impactful in this draft. Thanks!

Oh man. I’m not prepared for this at all. Would really love the time to make sure I’m not missing anyone. But I think there’s a good chance this guy might have ended up being my pick anyway. I hope so

Patrick Ewing

sm next please

I'm with you. I mentioned in the last draft that we should have had the pick in the first draft be the opposite in the second draft. With this I am now picking 16th here and 24th and 12th in the other drafts. This one is the one that it will hurt the most in.

I just like playing the cards I am dealt. That's life.
