Do they draft entirely new teams every year?

Good lord, world traveler deluxe. Check out his profile and teams that he's played for the last three years. He's gotta have an interesting passport.

Yes, I believe so. Looks like each team drafts 8 players.

Yeah I think he failed a record number of drug tests at UT. Wish him good though. It's a shame he got kicked out for something that is absolutely harmless and should be legal.

Heyyyy!!!!!! My cousin's husband gets drafted in the sixth round by Erie! Nice player too, big man with a good skill set. I'm hoping this leads to a deal in Europe for him.

If Wingate comes back stateside to play in a league where he'll make 19K, he's even more out to lunch than I've assumed.

I will say this. He played some good defense, and i'm curious to see what would have happened had he not been a screw-up. We could put Dane at PG and have four posts to play, would have been interesting.

Apparently, he's running out of options.
