FUTURE DRAFT GAMES - NEW THREAD 2/21/22

[Fadeaway_J]

A kind of weird idea for which I can't even come up with a title: only players who have averaged fewer than 10 ppg in a season are eligible.

Rules out MJ, Magic, Chuck, Malone, LeBron, KD, CP3, Wade, and a bunch of current superstars. A handful of All-NBA guys too like Reggie and Klay. Maybe works better with a smaller group of players (10-12)?

What about this idea since we're trying to do one that doesn't involve LeBron?

It's either this or the "No MVP Wings and Guards". Both omit LeBron.

I like the second. The first is just going to be constantly going back to BR profiles to see if a player ever averaged 10 points or less - unless I'm missing something.

I'd also like to see a Last Franshise draft, similar to Fade's(?) first franchise.

[durantbird]

Is there any interest in a speed draft? Picks limited to one minute and are put directly onto the spreadsheet. At the conclusion, you have one hour to post your roster page, then one hour to submit rankings. Whole thing is done in one evening.

Don't think this is a good idea because many of the drafters (including me) are on different timezones. It can be a thing for the American participants

I like both, I actually prefer the first. We all have good sense I believe to potential candidates here, doesn't require to go through all superstars... Second is also nice but I personally dislike drafts with too broad pools

Yeah I like the second but I feel like mine shakes the pool up a lot more.

What's next?

[migya]

Another interesting one is allstars only, including seasons they weren't allstars to make it fga feasible.

[Larry_Russell]

you have to pick and allstar, but you cannot use a season in which the player was an allstar.

How about no MVPs whatsoever? Straightforward idea and requires minimal research, if any.

Ineligible players assuming we start in 1989-90: Moses, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Barkley, Dream, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Timmy, KG, Nash, Dirk, Kobe, LeBron, D-Rose, KD, Steph, Westbrook, Harden, Giannis, Jokic

Think we've done that a couple of times at least

Sounds good to me

Didn't know we've already done this multiple times. Perhaps we should opt for a more original idea.

[Fadeaway_J]

I'd be willing to run either the <10 ppg game or the no MVP perimeter players one. Just depends on which one people prefer.

NO MVP Perimeter players (SG AND SF)

[Dr Positivity]

I prefer no MVP perimeter players as well

[Laimbeer]

No MVP perimeter, please.

[ardee]

Been a long long time, will definitely be getting in on the next one of these.

[durantbird]

Ring Collector Clubs Draft.

Only seasons played in one of the top 5 clubs with most championships are valid: Lakers, Celtics, Warriors, Bulls, Spurs. 90s and onwards.

[durantbird]

Also, have we done a Loyalists Draft? I know a Journeymen draft has taken place, but a draft where only players with at most 2 clubs played for in their career is challenging as well (minimum number of years in the league, say 6; or an obligation of one club 6-10 years; two clubs for 10 years onwards). For starts, most of the beloved 3&d cheap players are off the table.
