4. Draft Sequence: ABABAB. 1 pick rounds 1-5 and 2 picks in round 6.

5. Draft order: Draft lottery will use the New York Lottery. Each user will be given a time slot. The first three numbers drawn during that time slot will be your score. Lowest score will be number 1 and so on. Ties will be broken by whoever has the lowest 4th number.

The first 3 numbers drawn from your time slot is your score. The lowest score gets #1 and so on. Ties will be broken by whoever has the lower 4th number drawn.

I'm clearly not ready to pick. I'll trade with anyone in the top 10. First person to claim it wins. Claim first then pick

Claimed and picking Lebron James

Sorry just jumped as fast as I could, didn't see the instruction to claim then pick

All good - I'll sent my proxy to Sephy and Ben

Pretty sure I’ve never drafted Wilt in any league so I guess I will try that out.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

BenJoker takes Steph Curry via proxy

sitemail help please

Finally getting a chance to try the GOAT

Michael Jordan

I’ll swap with anyone. First come confirmed

Pbandj is taking it.
