Caught up after a few days away. Lots of exciting and good offseason stuff. A few thoughts:


Ty Outlaw reminds me of Ty Lawson: quick guard from UNC named Ty. Hopefully he has a longer career than Lawson, although Lawson had some pretty "high highs" before falling off a cliff.

The Bulls are definitely building an exciting young team, they are going to be internet favorites. How good do you think they can be this year? How about in 3 years?

Why did Griffin Hines fall all the way to #23?

The Bucks say they want to help Qualls, but I haven't seen a whole lot of rumors from them so far. Are they just in a bad spot? Or is the best way to get vets to help their young core?

I do 30-team control, but I draft in a way that I think stays somewhat true to the CPU. When I make the picks for them, I go to the selection board and sort players by Percent Scouted.

That puts all the players they have mostly or fully scouted at the top of their board. Then I apply a secondary sort of Overall (which is either a number or a grade) and usually pick the player from the top of that list.

If it's a tie, I use overall and/or team fit as the 3rd tiebreaker. This results in a draft that's different than what I would do, is informed by the CPU scouting (because I have that on CPU control all season) and turns out well. For instance, Jarek Kickert looks like a very "meh" #4 pick for the Knicks in the 2020 draft, he's not the guy I would have picked there, but my "process" led to it.

In case that's helpful.
