Draft is tomorrow. The draft order was just announced by email. This is determined by a weighed formula that takes into account last year's record and the total amount of points declared on your roster. As last year's champs, we pick last in the first round. Here is the draft order (as well as...

Interesting...I kind of feel the opposite way. There was a before/after with Coach K and Team USA and how it shaped his perception by top NBA players and top high school players. The Ian OConnor book has an interesting section about this and the advantages he got from being in that post for 12...

Here's a guy who according to Chat GPTis the 15th guy ranked in the camp, to get an idea. This guy is borderline for getting taken.

The league in Nicaragua pays the most, a lot more than we do (they're funded by the government through municipalities and companies "encouraged" to sponsor teams). Most of their foreigners are Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and some Americans (Glen Rice Jr has played there a couple years). Think half...

Wow...ChatGPT saved me some time. I fed in the file and it told me which players played D1 and which ones had notable stats at different levels. It then gave me a ranking based on level of play and ranking. Had to correct one thing, but it looks pretty accurate. That will help us focus on...

As far as I can tell, of the local guys they all either work or study. Ten years ago you would have a handful who just lived off basketball, but as salaries rightsized, that has pretty much disappeared. On my team right now I have: 4 PE teachers, 1 call center, 1 data analyst at a bank, 1 guy...

Draft combine is being held in Houston this afternoon. I went two years ago which was an interesting experience. About 40 guys showed up, including a few walk-ups. Did drills for about 45 minutes (fast break, half court). Then they got separated into teams and played for about two hours. Kind of...

Looks like it's time for another statistician to get the axe at the Bureau.

Have you guys read about this? Doesn't sound very honorable. https://apnews.com/article/iran-warship-iris-dena-india-14916ad657e50f048bbeb42b38224ecb

He was the mayor of Nuevo Cuscatlan (a town of roughly 10,000) and later San Salvador as the FMLN candidate. He had a falling out with the party in 2017 (IIRC they didn't want him to run for president, preferring other candidates...he clashed with party superiors, they kicked him out). The...

What's the condition for victory here?

That's a list of the far right countries in Lat Am, so not surprised Arevalo didn't get the invite. I'll be curious to see how these countries jockey for position and influence. Will they play nice with others? Bukele would love to be in pole position. Bukele in the past has been...

Wouldn't...went back and corrected. One of those typos that changes things entirely. The big thing is the risk of the first round and missing out on a guaranteed contract.

He's been rising in draft projections. Last mocks I've seen have him in the late first round, which is always a dangerous territory. Very easy to slip from first round gurateed money to second round (less money, no guarantee). I wouldn't rule him out coming back. Can make good money, get...

I called it a few wins ago that HD was safe...and we've won even more games since then. This team could make it to Sweet 16 (second round matchup will be crucial), but I don't think were a FF team unless Caleb goes wild. Needs to string a few solid seasons to avoid a warm seat.
