I shouldn't even be helping but since ESPN sucks and can't figure out how to separate rebound projections in draft room, here's all the rebound projections (click sortable)

I get off work right at the start time, so don't worry if I pop in at the last minute..I'm pick 10 anyways so I'll do my first 2 picks in the car before I head home.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I am pleased.

 

[Jonathan Y]

No insurance in fantasy. My team will either work well or it'll go horribly lmao

 

[scotthilk]

Can we redo it in auction format?

Not very happy with my team. Who wants to trade?

 

[McGlam]

None?

I was probably 50/50. As a lapsed Hornets fan I had to grab LaMelo with my second pick

I only grabbed one Bull with my last pick and I think they are gonna be surprisingly good this year too.

I'm actually happy with my team even though the draft ended up pretty rough for me. Very rarely do I get stuck at work when I'm working day shift. First 2 picks auto drafted while I was in the middle of swinging a railroad bridge open. Picks #3 &4 I made while driving my work truck back. #5 & 6 while I was driving my car home, but made it out alive! Only took 1 Bucks player as my last pick. You guys don't know about Mamu! He'll be taking Slowpez' spot before the end of the season..mark it down..

TBH, if you are gonna have a portion of your team auto picked the early rounds are probably better. It’s much harder for the AI to select bums when there is so much talent available.

I somehow managed to make every selection despite driving around Pennsylvania and playing mini golf with my family while the draft went on. Only got a nasty look or two from the Wife, which is a win.
