Draft Order:

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1976-77 season and the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1976 but the season you choose can't be before 1976-77.

2. You will select two players with each pick. The season selected must be the same for both and they must have been teammates that season. Each must have played at least half of the regular season games for that team. You will only be allowed to select one player in each round who made the All-NBA First Team at any point in their careers.

3. 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.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 85.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBA

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, 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 EDT.

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.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by a rankings followed by a four-team playoff tournament.

Torn here between a bunch of different choices. Honestly have no idea if there’s a “right” way to go or not. If I didn’t have to use the same season for both players, I would have went one way, but that restriction is making me go another way. Might as well get two starters.

Kevin Durant and Draymond Green

Flip flopped some here but I think this is the right call, leaves a lot of options open.

Larry Bird and Cedric Maxwell. Probably 1984.
