Replacing players is always a hard job to do and get right. And this years system seems like the fairest on paper that one could have when proposed at the beginning of the year.
But it’s worth thinking about for the future that Killebrew/Norris baggage would be a likely first overall women pick, and on the men’s side Dot/Wick baggage would probably be first overall as well. And they never would have been able to be picked by the same team if they were unbaggaged. I’m not sure how it would be ideally adjusted in the future. Perhaps if you get a high first pick, your second round comes later?
That said, I’m excited to see Killebrew/Norris, Dot/Wick and all the subs joining summer league! Thanks for signing up!

With regards to Dot/Wick getting taken by Underdog — I picked last in every round, but lucked out that I was the only team needing a round 1 guy. Frankly, I’m surprised I got Wick. Puss N’Boots had a chance for him, I picked after them, but they took Andy Dunn, opting for the Andy/Maggie chemistry.
With regards to the ladies, I would also add that the Dory/Avatar baggage would go extremely high. But it was a season of having to play tough, high-level lady combos — Enway/Skipper, Sully/Radish, AmyH/Avatar. The system is definitely not perfect, but we all had a fun night out. David Reed SLAYED some kareoke, and most important, I’m really glad all the teams ended up with six ladies (miracle!). Can’t wait to see how everyone plays together!

Steph’s team started with Matt/Armone as their 1-2. Dot/Wick isn’t much different. This was possible because of other captains’ drafting choices. It’s feasible they would’ve been on the same team during the regular draft.
