We weren't able to use the full version of this last year, but damn, this is good stuff. WAY better than StatsLab. Full Supplemental draft support. Expanded views directly in the utility. I think you'll like it.
We'll start a 4 hour clock on Monday, January 2nd at 8:00am Central.
We'll move to a 2 hour clock for Round 2.
EBA draft coming soon.

Looks like a strong draft class this year. See? It was only one bad year.

I noticed the markedly stronger overall class, too...at least at the top. I need to dig a little deeper, but my 2nd rd pick last year was really a toss up...doesn't look like that will be the case this time.

Having a hard time deciding who to rank #3. Great problem to have.

With 8 selections to go before my first round pick, I am anxious to see which players start to go off the board....

I have received an email each time the draft was "stuck" waiting for the next manual pick.
The subject line of each one has listed the next five teams to draft.
So the latest email was entitled:
MBBA Draft Update - ATC, LOU, HAW, GRE, WAS
So, *cough cough* ATC and LOU...

Now remember, there is no official clock until Jan 2nd at 8am central, so let's not get too "pressure-y".

My *cough cough* was not meant to be pressure-y. I guess I forgot the

.
But with the draft in progress almost a week before the official clock, and only two teams ahead of us, I was displaying an anticipation for who our top pick might be, just as others who have already drafted have done.
Apologies to Nick (LOU), I was just *coughing* in the spirit I explained above. And honestly after only a year here & and with GM turnover, I can't always keep straight which GMs are active on the boards and otherwise on top of things, which you obviously are.
