Get your thinking caps on, gentlemen and lady. The greatest minds are always pondering, wondering and hypothesizing. It's what makes the world go round; it's what advances us further in quality of life.
So, what shall we be thinking about today? Well, how about this: what would have happened if all select-GM's stuck with their initial draft picks?

"That's so fetch!" said Burgundy.
African Lion Safari has assembled the projected fantasy point totals for each select-GM inside Randy's V, under the assumption that each select-GM stuck with their initial picks and made no trades during the year. Players who were injured during the year were replaced by other players who were available, and maximum games/points was utilized for each team. What were the results? See for yourself:
1. TREE BONE, 3,450.05
2. AFRICAN LION SAFARI, 3,275.40
3. DICK BURNS, 3,064.75
4. SITCH, 3,057.70
5. BURGS, 3,056.15
"Oi! I should have been crowned winner of Randy's V!" cried Tree Bone.
Indeed, Tree Bone. Hindsight is painful, isn't it? What does this all tell us? It's hard to say. Safari went on the offensive and engaged in the most trades/transactions; for his efforts, he finished second overall. Sitch was in the middle; he took part in 13 moves, far fewer than Safari, but included pick ups in Giroux and Quick (later traded for Seguin). Tree Bone hardly changed a thing and ended up in the middle of the pack. It's literally impossible to create a trend from these stats.
"All I see is this: had I stayed crouched down like a young cub and banked my ~3,200 points. But instead I did some wheeling and dealing and got upwards of ~3,400 points, challenging for first overall. I'm satisfied with the way I played it," said Safari.
Great insight, Safari. More to come later.
Cordially,
Morpheus Randy
