I'll give it until this coming weekend to be sure, but it seems like we'll be drafting on a Sunday (or Monday for Pickle and myself in Asia).

My time zone is 16.5 hours ahead of Phoenix, so late afternoon/into the evening there works best for me (morning here). Ideally, Sunday here (Saturday there) would be great but I’ll try to make it work with whatever is the consensus (although I’m not sure my commitment extends to live drafting in the middle of the night!)

Im cool with any time on a Sunday Funday

Seems like everyone is in favor of drafting on a Sunday, so that'll be the day. 3TheHardaway specified that the 22nd will be difficult for him and I want to respect that, but I'm a bit cautious of drafting on the 15th with a weeks worth of preseason games left on the schedule. I'll leave that decision up to a vote via this link...

The draft time is much trickier. 3:00pm PDT (AZ time) is the latest possible time for myself to participate. If my time zone math checks out, that would be 6:00am for Pickle, 6:30am for Gladiator, and 7:00am for myself on Monday morning. I need to be out the door for work a bit after 8:00am, so it's difficult for me to schedule the draft later than 3:00pm PDT, but I could probably adjust by 15 minutes or so if it made a big difference for others.

Unless someone comes up with a better solution, the draft will be scheduled for 3:00pm PDT, 6:00pm EDT.

Voted. Thank you for doing this FF.

Thanks voted as well. I think daylight savings time here in (parts of) Australia have changed the time a bit but I’ll make whatever time work that is the majority vote. May be needing to draft on the sly at work but all good!

Certainly appreciate the consideration but wouldn't want to demand accomodation; if it ends up being the 22nd I can just set my pre-draft rankings and try to jump in and out as able. No worries.

9 of 11 people have responded to the poll. I'll wait through the weekend to announce the result.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2023 12:34 pm**

I voted for the 15th, but would be good with either. And on reflection, maybe the 22nd works better.

Com’on ‘bazz. I get enough of that when my girl is trying to decide what she wants to eat.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 1:22 am**

Alright fellas, we're good to go. The draft will be next Sunday, October 15th at 3:00pm PDT. I've also randomized and set the draft order. Congrats to Bone's Questionable Team, who've landed the first pick.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 5:13 am**

Thanks FF for setting this up… congrats Bone, I suggest you take Landry Shamet with your first pick. I hear this is his breakout season.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 9:15 am**

YES! Oh, man. Who's it going to be?!

I don't think I've had the number one pick in all my years of playing fantasy basketball.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 9:02 pm**

Insert obligatory Pat Burke joke.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 10:34 pm**

The Annual Shabazz 9th Pick in the Draft!

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 11:34 pm**

I also just realized 'bone picked first the last time he was in the league. Seems fishy.

Really? Why does it feel like the first time. I was usually in 'Bazz's position near the back. And aren't you the one who ran the algorithm for the draft order?

I don't think he's available.

I’ll be happy to take that number one pick off your hands bone and take on all the pressure of possibly getting the first pick wrong.
