The draft game
through 1: After game 1,
there were 4 picks that scored more than 30 points. Team Lehman
had 2 of those with 18 round pick of Tanner Groves (E Washington)
hitting for 35 and 20th round pick Kevin Obanor (Oral Roberts)
connecting for 30 and Obanor will play a second game as Oral Roberts
upset Purdue. Team Noffke's 8th round pick Buddy Boeheim
(Syracuse) scored 30 in a win over San Diego State and Commissioner's
Max Abmas (also from Oral Roberts) scored 30 in a winning effort.
Top 100 Draft
Picks: In the 2019 draft, 18 draft picks selected prior to the
11th draft round (10 draft teams mean 100 draft picks through 10 rounds),
were eliminated from the game after the first game played. That
year Team Kremer lost the most players 5 while the Commish and Team Noffke
went unscathed.
This year there
were 24 draft selections that were out before seeing a 2nd game out of
the first 110 draft picks for a greater than 20% that your pick didn't
make it to a second game . Ken Kremer lost the most players 5
including picks from rounds 1,2,4,5 and 10. Team Trevino and Dave
Eccles both survided the carnage by not losing any opening 10 rounds of
pick selections. It really helps to have your draft picks move on
especially your top 10 picks, but often that doesn't dictate where
you'll finish in this draft game.
Standings after Game
