Mo, let be the last to congratulate you on winning this one too

Helllllll to the no. (You won't beat me and even if you did, noway I give up my spot) lol.

Draft for the Premier League starts on Oct. 15th.

Check NBA.Com to watch PF.com's resident fantasy guy take on the Fantasy B-ball giants across the world.

So far, we've had to select a team (out of the 30) and a franchise player from that team. The rating of the franchise player you selected determines your order in the the draft. GMs that selected a lower rated franchise player get a higher draft pick. I selected...The Detroit Pistons! My franchise player is Chauncey Billups. I attempted to land a Kobe/Laker type combo but by the time I was able to select they were all taken. Thought it was for the best anyway because I didn't want to play against our boys. If anyone from PF.com is following the league throughout the season and feels compelled to offer some advice, I definitely welcome it. All info on the league will be visible to the masses just like last year.

Wish me luck!

Good luck! I'll keep an eye out.

P.S. Win now.

Good luck, I'll check in to see how you're going!

Billups is a PG which is a good start. But it looks like some people went for strategy and selected not so good players to get a higher draft pick. Still, I think you've made a good choice to pick a known quantity with your franchise player.

Who are you looking at with your #20 pick?

Still doing some draft anlalysis. I'll PM you what I'm thinking. I don't want to risk any of the opposing GMs doing a search and finding out my trade secrets.

Hmm...

So the Commissioner failed to mention that the draft would be a flat draft versus round robin. That would have definitely affected my selection of franchise player. I would have went for a sleeper pick to get a higher pick versus the best player on the team selected. Looks like I'm stuck with the 20th selection every round now. Do you think I have a legitimate gripe?

Absolutely. Getting stuck with the 20th pick in each round is a pretty big price to pay to have CB. I love him and all, but that's a bit too big of a price to pay IMO.

I asked the commish about it and he said that they drafted like that in the league last year so I should have known. lol. The D-League that I won was done in round robin fashion. I think they should have pointed out the difference or restated the rules verbatim from last year. They didn't even have the old rules posted on NBA.com. Oh well, nothing like a lil' controversy to start the season.

lame-ness. so its not a snaking order?
