As mentioned, Sunday is my preference. I've been putting in a bit of research and whilst I don't want to give anything away, I'll be targeting JR Smith and Patty Mills for breakout years, and Brandon Roy to bounce back after knee problems...
Brandon retired...
I like Sunday.
My tactics again will be a total no research run and gun - almost pinched it last year being the last picker.
In my best Schnieder voiceSame here. I definitely do my research to find out who is injured, overseas etc - but at the end of the day it's too unpredictable. My draft strategy is generally build the team around my first two picks, and whatever stats they are strongest at.

Also I'm dying to know the draft order. Normally we wait 30 minutes till the draft and it generates by itself. There is an option to make it randomly generate now. Is anyone against this? I'm pretty keen to hit it. That way we can do a bit more preparation. The computer does it and the league members will be notified of when I press the button. You will also be notified if I press it more than once (e.g. if I wanted to cheat because I wasn't happy with the draft order so I pressed it more than once)..

If nobody replies I'm going to auto-generate it. Normally don't do it, but will give us a bit more preparation time. In addition will be useful for those who can't be there as you can actually have an idea of how you should be setting your pre-draft rankings. Will do it in 30 minutes unless there are major objections.
Hmmm, first 2 picks are obvious, but the 3rd isn't so straight forward. Lots of thinking time tomorrow...
Ok, after taking a quick look, yes the top 3 are set...and 4th is tough. Love with a new coach and has dropped weight, Wade with the LBJ/Bosh to contend with, and even Howard could be thrown into the mix (tanking FT is the easiest strategy).I think 3rd is more clear cut than 4th!
Assuming the Top 3 go as most would expect, do I take Kevin Love or Dwyane Wade? What are the chances Love replicates next season, let alone improves on it?

Just did a mock draft from 3rd and more than happy how the cards fall from that position!
When are we picking? LOL
