In terms of Top 100 Prospects Armchair has found more balance with all but one team now rostering at least 1 top 100 prospect.
(8) and
(8) still sit a top the rankings both having gained 1 prospect a piece. The biggest jump since last year comes from
(5) gaining 3 new top 100 prospects, the new GM is making great strides with the top end of their farm system. While
(4) and
(3) both moved down in the standings having lost 2 top 100 prospects.

The greatest news for Armchair comes out of the Top 30 prospect lists. The average number of prospects per team is now 28.5 (!) which is pretty close to complete parity of 30 per 30. However, once you dig into the numbers there are still some teams with more quantity than others.
(55) still leads the league even though it's lost 5 prospects since last year. The new prospect signing program for unowned teams has yielded great results with
(28)
(29)
(27) now all having sold farm systems ranking right in the middle of the pack. The biggest jump in the rankings going into the season comes from
(52) having gained an impressive 11 prospects since last season.

The biggest gainer is
picking up 5 since the 2022 trade deadline, while the biggest drop is
with -6. For the most part teams have picked up or lost one here and there, which is typical with graduations and off season trades. The average team has 3 prospects, which is good, and every team has at least 1. Also, if ya'll could stop trading Top 100 specs to
that would be awesome lol.

I have something new for Armchair this season, the formula is a work in progress and so I'd love to hear suggestions but each team is awarded 2 points for a top 30 prospect and 5 points for a top 100 prospect, but no points for duplicate players. This looks like the best way to rank and quantify the depth and quality of a system. As a point of reference the average farm should score a 70 based upon this formula. So this should give GM's a good idea of how their farms relate to the rest of the league and by how much.

Super Sonics #2 pick (insert eye emoji)

Daddy
:
All subject to trade before the draft of course.
Yesterday
at 11:47:03 PM
Brent
:
With an expansion draft, does that mean we select x number of players on our roster to protect?
Yesterday
at 11:47:51 PM
Brent
:
Also, I might have missed it, but will it be a H2H cats or points league?
Yesterday
at 11:48:39 PM
Daddy
:
@Brent yes & @Brent CATs
Yesterday
at 11:49:36 PM
Daddy
:
It will all be in the handbook as per usual.
Yesterday
at 11:50:04 PM
Daddy
:
Think MLB LIVE hoop style only not quite as deep scoring in basketball.
Yesterday
at 11:51:08 PM
Daddy
:
We are trying something thats never been done to our knowledge.
Yesterday
at 11:53:06 PM
Brent
:
I like it.
Yesterday
at 11:54:07 PM
Daddy
:
No other basketball league in the world has a Vegas NBA team. Till tonight.
Yesterday
at 11:54:13 PM
Daddy

I thought you might.

STLBlues91
:
Yeah got to figure a solid name out for it
Yesterday
at 11:55:35 PM
Daddy
:
Had a few good suggestions. Just dont be corny.. this represents all of us.
Yesterday
at 11:57:03 PM
Daddy
:
We are the first to give Vegas a suggestion. Lets let it be a good one. Make them take notice.
Yesterday
at 11:57:48 PM
STLBlues91
:
Yeah will research it a bit

One of the NHL signup sheets has 68k views? Thats ridiculous. Where all these people at? We should have 20k leagues.
Today

Rhino7
:
I used to use Las Vegas Vipers as a team name
Today
at 12:04:13 AM
Daddy
:
NHL & NCAA have 100k views on the bullpen. Nobody ever looked at that thing. There should be a few more new accounts no? I mean what they looking for. Its a sign up sheet.
Today
at 12:04:17 AM
Daddy
:
Vipers works for me if it does you. Kinda goes with the logo i gave them.
Today
at 12:05:04 AM
STLBlues91
:
Yeah writing down the names sent out and adding a few I find/think of like Las Vegas Legacy and then will narrow them down

Can I take the Sonics?
Today
at 12:07:14 AM

Vipers is cool.
Today

Yes sir
Today
at 12:08:19 AM

NHL and NBA excited to start those from scratch
Today

Daddy
:
All the leagues are well run, we just have different ideas.
Today
at 12:17:35 AM
Daddy
:
There is nothing like virgin teams that nobody else has been into. You get to inherit todays rosters. Then take them into the future.
Today
at 12:18:36 AM
Daddy
:
Usually taking over a team is inheriting someones mess which is why it was open. In startup leagues that isnt an issue.

I should have known you jumped off the Lakers and on to the home state squad. We havent talked basketball much here like the old days.
Today
at 01:08:21 PM
Daddy
:
When Philly drafted Embiid that year we had LOR (Lord of the Rings) and we talked much hoops.
Today
