Mock Drafts are Now Open
August 10, 2009 by Evil E
Mock Drafts are now OPEN for signups!
For those of you eagerly waiting to participate in a mock draft for fantasy basketball, wait no further. Mock Draft Central is now open for the upcoming NBA season!
Personally, I’m a big fan of MDC. My main “National Fantasy Basketball Championship” leagues use Mock Draft Central for our REAL drafts, and I’ve never had a problem with their live draft software. It loads quickly via Flash, has a very clean appearance, and has never crashed my browser. It is also very easy to navigate when searching for the best player available.
To test your browser and view a sample “draft room,” just click on the following link: http://www.mockdraftcentral.com/mock-draft-software-test.jsp These guys haven’t won “Best Drafting Software” two years in a row over ESPN and CBS Sports for nothing, so register for a free mock drafting account (if you don’t have one already) and join one of these leagues.
Mock Drafts now Available:
RotoEvil Mock #1 (9-cat Roto): Sunday 9/13, 5pm PST / 8pm EST
RotoEvil Mock #2 (9-cat H2H): Tuesday 9/15, 10am PST / 1pm EST
RotoEvil Mock #3 (8-cat Roto): Wednesday 9/16, 7pm PST / 10pm EST
RotoEvil Mock #4 (9-cat H2H): Thursday 9/17, 6pm PST / 9pm EST
All drafts have room for 12 teams and go 16 rounds deep. You get 90 seconds per pick. No one likes computer auto-drafting, so if you join one of the mocks, please show up!
The password required to join all drafts = “rotoevil”
If you participate in one of the mocks and would like to add your own commentary (on your own picks and the draft in general), then I will setup threads in the VIP Forum. Send me an email if you’re not a VIP Member but would like to comment on the Mock Drafts. Thanks.

E —
I’ll participate in the 8 cat roto and/or 8 cat h2h mock drafts. The block of time that works best for me depends on the day.
As a side note, there are still a few key FAs out there who we should probably wait for before doing a mock draft. I would think that Sessions’ value could change by 4 or so rounds depending on where he ends up…and, likewise, the values of Duhon/Jennings/Ridnour (or PGs from other team where he signs) would be affected. Likewise, Felton’s signing could impact his value, as well as Augustin’s value. While it looks like D.Lee and NateRob will remain in NY on one year deals….if Sessions signs in NY, there’s probably some chance NateRob changes teams (perhaps as part of a S&T to entice another team to take Jeffries).
Hunter
3-6 PST, format doesn’t matter too much to me but probably 8-cat roto preferred
Hey E,
I will be available for any of those provided time slots (currently not working).
I prefer to play 8-cat H2H and 9-cat H2H.
I will comment on most, if not all, of my picks.
Thanks.
Oh, and I already have a MDC account set up so I will not need a new username.
Thanks again!
I’m eager to draft and comment. The late time slot works for me, and I prefer 9-cat, H2H format.
OK, I’ll start creating a list of people who are interested…
8-cat: Hunter, RBAej, Warno
9-cat: Warno, Jonah, Jonathan, Tom, Vince
Let’s wait for some more people to sign up, then we’ll figure out the draft dates/time slots.
I’m down for the 9-cat! H2H 3-6pst or 6-9pst!
Looking to roll with the 9cats. 3-6 Pacific, or really pretty much any time (my sched is random). I would love to comment on the draft, and would appreciate an intelligent draft in which others do the same. Thanks!
9 cat for me please
Sign me up for both
I will comment on all my picks. Available anytime.
9 cat, 6-9pst or 3-6pst if it is closer to 6 than 3
9 cat prefer roto but glad to do H2H, just jonesing to draft. Whatever timeslot(s) work is cool. Will comment on all picks. Already joined MDC after seeing this so have user name. Thanks, can’t wait!
8-cat: Hunter, RBAej, Warno, kicking rocks, jude
9-cat: Warno, Jonah, Jonathan, Tom, Vince, d8liu, risk_ay, d2bnz, kicking rocks, dr. evil, mookie blaylock
So we almost have enough to fill out our 1st 9-cat mock. Keep the signups coming. Also, you need to let me know your email address so the guys at MDC can send you an email. Otherwise, I’m just going to use the address that you type in when submitting your comments.
btw evil e, are you planning to have a draft guide this year? last year’s guide really helped my fantasy squad
Of course my man. It will be even better than last year’s.
E,
Are you not participating in the mocks?
It really depends on a few factors. If time permits, then yeah, I’ll do one. No guarantees tho.
hi! sign me up for 9 cats. 9am – 12pm PST
sign me up for an 8 cat. 6-9 PST works best for me. I’m willing to comment on my draft picks
If needed, I’ll do the 8-cat mock as well. I ignore turnovers in my 9-cat league as well.
Also E, I’ve got a draft guide request: 7-cat ratings (ignoring turnovers and FT%) for those in H2H leagues looking to draft Howard in the first round. I’d be eager to read an article about who to target in later rounds if you get Dwight in the first.
Ill do 9catH2H as well Any times later then 12pm is fine for me
hi! sign me up for 9 cats. 9am – 12pm PST
8cat sign me please.
faraon315@wp.pl
thx
i can play 9cat either
Sign me up for 8 cat Roto, 9am-12pm PST.
OK, here’s an updated list. If your name is missing, please contact me.
8-cat: Hunter, RBAej, Warno, kicking rocks, jude, isaac, jonah, sooobi, roblow
9-cat: Warno, Jonah, Jonathan, Tom, Vince, d8liu, risk_ay, d2bnz, kicking rocks, dr. evil, mookie blaylock, Vinny, doublemint, dwiz, rapsa
I’ll start to sort this out and work with MDC to get these things going. How does the first week of September sound for running these drafts?
I will be in Vegas, without any real desire to find or sit by a computer, during most of the first week in September.
For me all september should be ok
sounds good!
Any time works, the more mocks I can get in the better, thanks again
Hey, id be interested in participating in one of the mocks wherever there’s room. I’ll be active and posts explanations for my picks. My schedule is flexible, so the time slot shouldnt be much of an issue.
Hey E, sign me up
12 – 3pm PST is good time for me for the 3 weeks of september
Hey E, sign me up too…
I’m pretty flexible with time as well. I can write a blurb for each pick. I prefer 9 cat roto.
BTW i’m thinking of changing my name, Joe The Plummer was sooo last year, any suggestions?
6pm-9pm PST, 9 cat h2h
6pm-9pm PST, 9-cat H2H
I’m more than happy to blurb on each and every pick, even if it’s Yakhouba Diawara.
Yo,
I’d dig being part of an 8 CAT roto draft. 6-9 p.m. PST works best for me. I’ll gladly “back and fill” in explaining why my picks are really better than they appear. The crowd that hangs around this site are soooo savvy that I look forward to learning a lot in prepping for this year’s fantasy season. Thanks. BRUIN22
OK guys: I have setup 4 different Mock Drafts. I wasn’t able to register all of you, so you’ll need to sign up for a free MDC account first if you don’t have one already.
Then just click on the link for the league that you want to join. If these fill up fast, I can create more no problem. All drafts have room for 12 teams and go 16 rounds deep. You get 90 seconds per pick. No one likes computer auto-drafting, so if join one of the mocks, please show up!

Wow. All 4 of these mocks are full already. Nice job guys. I can add more over the weekend.
