Need your cuts by 11:59 pm Sunday, Sept. 17
You have one week left to make your final roster cuts. You may keep up to 14 players, but you can't draft anybody if you keep 14 players. You get to draft one player for every player you cut under 14 on your roster. So, if you end up with 12 players on your roster on Sept. 18, you can draft two players. If you have 11, you can draft three, and so on.
Email me with your cuts before Sunday night. Anyone you cut that has NBA minutes is thrown into this year's draft pile.

Bettendorf Coach Mark Feeney, who made an Amazing amount of trades this summer, has made his pre-draft cuts: D. Martin, K. David, Vernon Maxwell and D. Brown.
