I don't think in my game it would be that chaotic.

The scenario:
Pick 1 - Shaq
pick 2- skipped bc of clock
pick 3- proceeds to pick Tim Duncan, pick 2 now has to pick someone who is not from the southwest divison. or if pick 4 picks before them, pick 2 is now dependent on the divisions not used with pick 4

It would just be annoying if in that scenario let’s say I’m pick 4(the chaos I’m referencing is more applicable to later rounds) and am doing all of this research to find the best player available to me not in the SouthWest, and am about to make my pick, but then the skipped pick comes back and picks someone which then makes me have to figure out a new plan based on what divisions are available now...

I can see where you are coming from, I would think that would just be part of the strategy of the game though.

I think there should be a chance you have to keep the player you drafted

That's why I like re-randomizing after a round or 2

So we all give each person a Derek Fisher or Manute Bol. I dont see the appeal in that.

It's more sabotage if you give them 24 FGA Stackhouse or 18 FGA Bargnani or something. Then you either have to play them in a major role or give them bench minutes and try to build a team with the remaining FGAs.

I have mixed feelings about the concept overall though.

Also are you Matt Barnes or someone with Utah with that disrespect towards Fisher

Maybe the chosen season has to be at least an all-star?

Or even All NBA. That weeds out some of the Stackhouse type guys and leaves some ones who are more playable but don't get picked often like Big Al and Derozan. Though losing Wizards MJ and post Achilles Kobe is sad.

Seems like a logical time to do a 2021 or 2021 "and one" with the regular season over.

What do you all think of this idea? Think that something like; All players' seasons must be their third season or one same season of their career criteria.

Would be different and pretty wacky to do a four rookies and four last season players teams.

Or a postmerger to 1999 draft, no more than 7 three pointers made per team.

I like the idea of "Players in season X".

We could do round 1, season 1, round 2, season 2, ect.

I'd leave it open as to when you select which player.

One in each of the first four seasons, one in each of the last four, and you can't use last four for still active players.

What you all think of this idea? Been so much of the same lately. Really want to bring back some older era as well.

I like this since it's sort of an upside down draft - how soon does a player become worth his fga's? My concern is people in the middle might find it tough. The number of players who become top tier for a particular season might be limited. Also not having the season finder will make it more leg work.

Don't mind the straight third season idea either.

I actually like Colbini's idea of Round 1-Season 1, Round 2- Season 2 etc.

I'm now wondering how tedious this will be without the season finder.

Should the format be standard ABBABABA?

Should there be any limits on MVPs, etc?
