FUTURE DRAFT GAMES - NEW THREAD 2/21/22

Awards draft - You must select MVP, DPOY, Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, and Sixth Man of the Year

Leaders Draft - You must select players who led the league in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and turnovers.

Comeback player of the year isn’t a thing.

Upon research it existed for a few years in the 80s.

I’m skeptical of this premise for FGA reasons.

Ops think I meant Most Improved Player.

In the first you'd have to weigh getting more affordable options in required categories early versus grabbing talent. Figure it adds a layer of strategy.

I think the second is okay for FGAs, but again, might add a layer of strategy given the constraints.

I think my favorite idea that I’ve seen recently is probably the choose your decades draft DB had, except everyone chooses two franchise decades, but they must be decades in which that team didn’t win a championship.

This almost completely eliminates franchises like the Lakers (who to my utter disgust have championships in every decade since the 70s except the 90s), the Duncan Spurs, Splash Warriors, either championship iteration of the Heat, etc.

The AI draft - non-draft game where you make the best team you can around 2001 AI starting and playing 38 minutes.

I love this. I'd be willing to host it - unless you wanted to.

edit: Oh nevermind, I was thinking with a draft. I'm also partial to Iverson so not sure if others would have interest.

One of the best ideas I remember reading on the board, but never seen being played, is Laimbeer's idea of non-peak franchise.

Each player chosen must be selected in a season where he mostly played for a franchise where he didn't record his peak season (measured by maximum PER for a single season in his career).

There is enough top end talent like Miami LeBron, Lakers Kareem, Warriors Durant, Orlando Shaq, Toronto/Clippers Kawhi, etc. but it still becomes challenging at some point.

That is a great idea - absolutely. I like things that cause us to think outside the box a bit

Did we not end up doing that one? It sounds familiar.

Isn't this it?

Edit: Just realised that was three years ago, it's a similar idea though.

Maybe you are thinking about the draft where you cannot choose the best decade for the player?

4 players must be all nba 1st or 2nd team and on a championship team chosen season, other 4 players must not have any accolade or allstar and chosen season non playoff team.

Do you pick the All NBA core in a single pick? If so, are there any limitations on the core, e.g. maximum one MVP?

It seems like many cores would be ineligible, e.g. Curry Durant Klay Draymond is plausible, but you cannot add another All NBA (I think?) to Magic Kareem Worthy, or three All NBAs to Jokic.

No superstar forwards draft - 2000s on with no Lebron, Giannis, Tatum, Durant, Davis, Kawhi, Dirk, KG, Malone, Duncan, as all have made multiple 1st team All-NBA.

Clarify - Not cores, eg. players on the same team, same year.

The 4 players that are stars are picked one at a time, whatever chosen season for each player, as long as 1st or 2nd team and that season their team won championship.

Play In Draft - Player's team must have played in at least one Play In game that season.

Anyone interested in another prediction draft?

Draft players for the upcoming season. 12 men rosters and during allstar break or maybe in the end of the season we could dump guys that got injured or sucked and draft other players instead

then have playoffs after the season and choose 8 players to represent our teams

Roddy you're the only one who always remembers this game.

We'll have to hustle to make it in time for the season. I don't know if 12 man rosters are feasible at this late stage though.

People tended to lose interest. I think we would have to take out the mid-season waiver process. The final judging should probably be rankings at the end of the season.

Just go with eight.
