Best of Enemies Draft (60s to now) - Draft Thread

[Laimbeer]

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1959-60 up to and including 2022-23 are eligible, subject to the restriction outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player. There will be a .85 multiplier on FGAs for seasons before the merger (1959-60 through 1975-76).

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. Every player chosen must have played at least one minute in the regular season or playoffs for the Lakers and/or Celtics. The selected season does not have to be with the Lakers and/or Celtics. For example, Karl Malone played with the Lakers and is eligible but you can use his Jazz seasons.

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBABABA

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

10. After you have made your draft selection, please quote and/or PM the person that goes after you so they will know that it is their turn and they are on the clock. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs/rankings begin.

Who else



LeBron James

[Snakebites]

Been a while, though I don’t generally have success with him and he plays what looks to be a shallow-ish position here:

Magic Johnson

[flaco]

Woj reported that the #3 pick was up for grabs, but nobody wanted it.

Larry Legend

[durantbird]

I'm passing on some great bigs here, but elite backcourt offensive engines feel like a rare commodity in this draft.

Jerry West

[uberhikari]

Kevin Garnett

Kobe Bryant

[Larry_Russell]

Most athletic freak to ever play the game and I can take him in his peak

Probably wont go with a 30+fga season unless everything works out perfectly from here.

But a 7foot2 with long arms, a 40 inch vertical, long jump record holder, high jump record holder who was as strong as a bear.
