All that is needed is that you rank teams 1-29 in the order you think they would finish if a season were played (exclude your own team). I will tally the results and post here.

I had several volunteers to help with the draft, if you can help please repost in this thread.

All players on draftexpress.com for the 2012 mock draft, or on nbadraft.net are available.

Official Draft Order
September 28 (all times EST)

Notes: Golden State was ranked 12th out of all the teams, but still didn't make the playoffs and so got a lottery pick....Orlando barely squeaked into the playoffs over Boston....there was a dogfight for the 8th spot in the west between Houston, LAC, New Orleans and San Antonio...Sacramento and Milwaukee were almost tied.

Since I have so many picks as Utah I should help mainly with the 2nd rd since I have no second rounders. I would also suggest we do what we did last game and have a slotted time for each pick. A gm or the moderator will know when to check in to autopick etc. People can also have friends pick if the slotted time is odd hours.

eg #1 7pm est
#2 8pm est
etc
#3 can be done when at 8:01 If #2 is already done .If we get way ahead we can adjust.

That's what I will be doing, and it would be great if you could do the second round!
Is there someone not in the lottery that would perform it? (you can just use the ESPN lottery machine). I am assuming that I will be in the lottery, so it is a bit of a conflict of interests.

I can run the lottery.

That would be great, thank you!

I've also made a small error with the rankings, please exclude your own team

FOUR DAYS to select the 1st round. Are you kidding?

No. You can trade during that period, plus many people have school and work so it doesn't work to go all the way through the day. I considered just having a day after the lottery for teams to make trades, and then have them email lists of who they wanted to pick and then I could perform the draft in one day (first and second round), but I think that the trades, at least for the first round, are pretty important. And, even if I had thirty minute blocks instead of hour long blocks in the first round we would still only get through 24 teams. I think it works best this way because then it leaves Saturday afternoon/evening and all of Sunday for the second round and then we can jump into free agency and finish the game quickly. If you have any suggestions, though, I would be very happy to hear them. In my mind, the faster this gets done, the better, and a 4 day draft sounds appropriate for our purposes.

I will email you tomorrow about the second round.

I think once the first round is done we can free agency. There is usually less trading in the 2nd round so can go real fast plus people don't mind the autopick as much.

Dan Verze · Post #10 » by **Dan Verze** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:37 am

Atlanta owns the Houston pick 8-)

-Kees- · Post #11 » by **-Kees-** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 10:14 am

Sweet, Charlotte's the worst team 8-)

Also, I traded my NOH pick to I think LAC, so I know that I dont have it

Warriorfan · Post #12 » by **Warriorfan** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:25 am

Utah has the picks of ny nj atl and philly and GS if not top seven

LOTTERY RESULTS

CLEVELAND moves up from #3 to #1.
TORONTO moves up from #7 to #2.
PHOENIX moves up from #5 to #3. I believe this pick has been traded to Boston.

All other picks of course follow in order:

#4 - Charlotte
#5 - Utah
#6 - Detroit
#7 - Milwaukee
#8 - Sacramento
#9 - Washington
#10 - Boston
#11 - New Orleans (I believe this pick has been traded to LA Clippers)
#12 - LA Clippers
#13 - Houston (I believe this pick has been traded to Atlanta)
#14 - Golden State (I believe this pick has been traded to Utah)

-Kees- · Post #14 » by **-Kees-** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:32 pm

I dont think this is possible, i thought that the worst team was guarenteed a top 3 pick? Because otherwise they could slide to 14, which i know isnt right...

Warriorfan · Post #15 » by **Warriorfan** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:35 pm

Is it possible to find out if NBADraftExpress or NBADraftNet will be used for the autopicking for draft slotting planning purposes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_Draft#Draft_Lottery

from the numbers seems the worst yours could have been was 4th.

-Kees- · Post #17 » by **-Kees-** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:53 pm

Ah ok, thanks. I thought it was 3, but i guess its 4.

Draftexpress. Also, you don't need to claim your picks, just make it when a pick you own is up (ex. if I own Detroit's 1st round pick I would say "Toronto owns Detroits 1st and uses it to select X player).

sterncohen · Post #19 » by **sterncohen** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 3:43 pm

Kees, the worst team can slide only as far as #4, and that's what happened this time around.
