Future Draft Games

I wouldn't mind running the 2017-18 game starting this weekend or thereabouts. It's a simple enough concept that I should be able to get by despite having a lot less time than before.

Co-signed. I think we're ready to get something cooking soon.

A couple ideas I'm hoping won't die are getting more FGAs for skipping early picks as well as pre-2000 with one exception. Particularly the first, it's unique and adds a level of strategy.

pre-2000 with one exception

Was planning on doing this one at some point, but torn on a few possibilities

Pre 2000, or pre 1990?

One exception or two exceptions?

Personally I like going pre 90, it gets away from post 90 drafts a little more, and adds more strategy since adding a modern floor spacing guy changes those teams a lot

I'd like 1990 as well, and think limiting it to one exception adds more to the strategy and essence of the game. If you get two top tier exceptions it starts looking like a hybrid ass opposed to an "and one".

I don't care what but let's do something. Been too long.

I think Dr P is going to start up the pre-1990 one exception game fairly soon but I think we're trying to avoid too much overlap as people seemed to burn out.

The other draft is about over. We ready to roll?

YOLO draft
-first two picks above 15 FGA each
-no players under 10 FGA until round 6
-you have to work YOLO into a conversation, on or offline, while the draft is ongoing

Have I ever mentioned this one? I don’t recall.

Anyone who ever played in a conference finals game. Must use the season they played in the conference finals.

I wouldn't mind this, but it would take some doing to come up with the list.

It's quite easy. I can do it if we do this game

First post has been updated with now over 100 ideas (granted some have been played already).

I'll probably run the next game very soon. I am thinking about running a quick and efficient 4 round, 2 picks per game. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe Zodiac Draft--born in the same year? Tiered Draft (Batman/Robin Post Merger?)

What about this one--60/10, 70/00, 80/90, and wildcard for one pair (any year). Each pair must be from the decade specified. I will put a restriction of one mvp per pair for balance sake. Thoughts?

That sounds good to me. I would also be interested in the Zodiac and Batman/Robin redux at some point. The 3 Degrees One on One draft was doing really well in polls before the break so it can be played at some point

All of those sound great. Let’s do it

Competitive balance draft

30 teams worst record to best record. Each team gets to save 1 player on their team (example jazz save mitchell) starting with worse record to best record teams would select 1 round a player from stream that is not saved (example hawks with worst record could select say Jaylen brown because Boston saved tatum)

We struggle to get even half that many participants for most games. I'd suggest doing the 16 playoff teams only.

Maybe 6 people. 1 per conference or something

We couldn’t do that as a draft game....

.....BUT we could do it as a contraction draft GMAT.
