wait a second is Amare' counted as israeli?
Double citizenship and born in the USA.

He is because his wiki page lists both nationalities.

There's an extensive list in the first page of this thread. I tried to include as many names as possible. Not sure whether the list is 100% accurate after what happened with Luol Deng, but I tried to double check most of the names prior to including them.

but didn't we say that then it counts where he was born?

From the OP in the draft thread:

If a player has multiple nationalities, you are free to select whichever one you want. (...) If there's no nationality in the ''Personal information'' box, then birthplace becomes the determining factor.

You're conflating two different rules.

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1979-1980 to 2021-22 seasons will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1979, but the season you choose can't be before 1979-1980.

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.

4. Each participant has to draft

• one player from the USA
• at least one player from the Americas excluding the USA
• at least one player from Europe
• at least one player from Africa
• at least one player from Asia and Oceania. Countries which expand on both Europe and Asia may count as whichever region you want. For instance, Russia, Turkey and Georgia.

We cannot select multiple players from the same country. If a player has multiple nationalities, you are free to select whichever one you want. For the purposes of this game, each player's nationality is determined exclusively by his wikipedia page. For instance, Steve Nash was born in South Africa to a Welsh mother and an English father. According to wikipedia, he's Canadian. That's all that matters.



If there's no nationality in the ''Personal information'' box, then birthplace becomes the determining factor. One such example is OG Anunoby.

Disclaimer: All people are free to feel that they belong to whichever nationality they want. It's just that we have to establish a framework for the purposes of our game. I believe the wikipedia solution is the easiest one, otherwise we'll get lost in formalities. I opted for wikipedia over basketball-reference cause they provide more info regarding player's nationalities.

5. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected. If a player played for multiple teams in one season, he must have played at least 50% of his games in that season for one of the listed franchises.

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 myself or 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 EST. The clock will begin at 9:00 EST, Friday.

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 followed by a four-team playoff tournament.

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 rankings begin.

I left my picks to Colbinii

[Fadeaway_J]

I left my picks to Colbinii

Would be wiser to leave them with someone who's actually playing...

He agreed. No one in the draft can't interfere with my plans...

[Ryoga Hibiki]

as I don't think you'll get back to me in the next 7 hours going to bed

[Dr Positivity]

I want to draft another center and play them with Embiid 8-10 but I’m torn between super mega big ball and a worse player but more mobile

Not quite that big of ball

You are up.

Honestly I can't believe I got Dragic in round 5. I almost took him in round 4.

In retrospect the Magic pick was the best move. Locking up that cheap superstar allowed me to get Dragic and SGA.

And Mills closes up my era specific requirements:

Africa- Hakeem
Europe- Dragic/Batum
Americas (non USA)- SGA
Asia/Oceania- Mills
USA- Magic

So now I just have to get 2 more guys who aren't from the US, Canada, Nigeria, France, Slovenia, or Australia.

[Larry_Russell]

You are on the clock. Euro can announce his pick anytime he wants.

fade is up
