The Unpopular Stars draft - Draft thread 

Post#1 » by Dr Positivity » Wed May 5, 2021 2:00 am

Draft rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1989-90 to 2019-20 seasons will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1989 but the season you choose can't be before 1989-90.

2. 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.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected. NOTE: For players who played for multiple franchises in a season, they most have played at least 50% of their regular season games for one or more of the listed franchises.

5. Your first round pick will be made by a different person. The last pick in the draft order will choose the first pick's player, the 2nd last will take the 2nd pick's player, etc. The season must be declared when it's made, and it must be a season that made one of the All-NBA teams. For the remaining seven picks, it is a normal draft where people take their own players and you don't have to declare the season when you make it.

6. After the first round, the remaining seven rounds will go in this order: ABBAABA

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, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, 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. The clock will begin at 5 PM ET Wednesday if a full round has not been completed.

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. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by playoffs.

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs begin.

Please keep track of picks here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f-wsViDIvkNlxbxR6vDYtDkMGcx8hgDBohN6og7CRFk/edit?usp=sharing

Draft order:

1. JRSmith_23
2. MadNESS
3. lilroddyb
4. Dr Positivity
5. Snakebites
6. wackbone
7. Laimbeer
8. Colbinii
9. parsnips33

The first round draft order will be as follows

9 picks 1
8 picks 2
7 picks 3
6 picks 4
1 picks 5
5 picks 6
4 picks 7
3 picks 8
2 picks 9

Therefore no two players will take each other’s picks.

Parsnips will pick JR
Colbinii will pick MadNESS
Laimbeer will pick lilroddyb
wackbone will pick Dr Positivity
JR will pick Snakebites
Snakebites will pick wackbone
Dr Positivity will pick Laimbeer
Lilroddyb will pick Colbinii
MadNESS will pick parsnips

Due to the unique nature of the game I hold the commissioner's right to not allow a pick in the first round if I feel it threatens the rest of the game, ie giving someone prime Jordan either by trolling or misreading the rules

Was initially going to go another direction, but that other guy offers a lot of offensive value even if his defensive is non-existent.

Sorry guys, got really busy.

This is a hard decision actually. I'll give him 2003-04 Baron Davis. The least efficient player to make an All-NBA team, and at 20 FGA. Also not a great defender despite the steals.

I wanted to go a different route here - but at this point I would happy to pick (for myself) who I wanted to take - so I’ll try something different because this game is weird lol

2016-2017 Isaiah Thomas 19.4 FGA

Can’t defend, was a chucker, undersized.

I would have preferred to go a different route here but the player is simply too good to pass up and I don't think I have ever picked him.

Chris Paul
