How I feel when everyone reacts to me complaining about the slow-moving draft by saying, "technically, the draft hasn't started yet."
The point of suggesting the lotto be run at the start of the playoffs to keep non-playoff teams interested is that by the time the playoffs are over, the draft should ALSO be over... the point was to ELIMINATE waiting, not "make everyone wait around for five days after the playoffs are finished to officially start the draft because people absolutely refuse to check in or make a pick unless there is a deadline hanging over their head." Start the dang timer on the draft as soon as the lotto results are published and put some deadlines over peoples' heads.
