How it works is that you are able to select some of your favorite college players who never made the pros or others not currently in the NBA, in order to compete in this fantasy league. They can be inactive for a decent span of time, however this fact may count against your team. As a general rule, you may not select players who are locked into a contract overseas as well, unless you can argue that they would come back to the states given this opportunity. Any minor league player is up for grabs, unless he is an NBA affiliated player.
How the competitive aspect of this will work is that we will select 16 players each, going round by round, posting positive and negative aspects of each of their games. From there, we will compete in head-to-head matchups where you have to argue for why your team is better, and how your team would exploit the matchup. Then we will vote on each game, until each of us has played one another.
A further consideration that I am having is whether or not to create a rule, whereby each team would only be allowed to select up to 5 players from a particular minor league. This would keep the game interesting, and we might see different matchups from simply D League teams that are currently in existence.
If anyone has any interest at all, post in this thread and you can create your own team name, logo, location, management appeal or draw for your specific selected area, marketing plans, etc.
This is an excellent opportunity to acclimate yourself with minor league basketball in general especially if you do not know much currently. I can provide you with a source list of different players from different teams, and where some former college players are playing. We can then have our minor league draft in say approximately a month or so given the level of interest.
I feel like you all might get a kick out of creating your very own teams from scratch. Depending on how much of the managerial aspects are involved, it also might give you a window into how difficult it is to run a basketball organization.
Anyway, I am also considering some sort of end-term evaluation where we can each evaluate the success of the overall business play and rank them in order.
Any ideas, comments, or concerns are very much appreciated.
Are any of you interested?
