2023-2024 mid season draft - Draft thread

[Dr Positivity]

1. All seasons must be from 2023-2024 according to their current FGA as of the all-star break.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 4 rounds. 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 their possible regular season games so far.

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

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 9 AM ET, Tuesday unless a full round has 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 rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

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/rankings begin.

Tempted by the Claw, but I'll take best player in the league and fun to build around. Nikola Jokic

Up

[Laimbeer]

Giannis Antetokounmpo

...

[Dr Positivity]

durantbird takes Kawhi Leonard

Up

[MadNESS]

I know there’s “better” players, but I’ll go:

KD.

Please quote the next guy,
I’m at practice

[Larry_Russell]

Feel weird passing on a couple guys...but this dude is 2nd in mvp rankings right now.

SGA

[Fifii]

Jayson Tatum

[flaco]

Joel Embiid

Not sure why he dropped at #7. He's widely considered the best player in the league this season. I know he's injured, but he's played more than 50% of the games. That's all that matters for the purposes of our draft.

[Fadeaway_J]

Plenty of perimeter talent left, let's go with the two-way big.


Anthony Davis

[murphyslamz]

Lebron James

Lebron James

You have 2 picks

[murphyslamz]

Stephen Curry

(not sure how to tag @drpositivity but I will PM him

[MadNESS]

Stephen Curry

(not sure how to tag @drpositivity but I will PM him

He’s not up, fade is

[Fadeaway_J]

This goes against all logical considerations but I can't pass him up here.


Luka Doncic

[flaco]

The fast tempo of the modern game results in more FGAs, especially for star players. To make matters worse, we don't have access to dirt-cheap role players from previous seasons. The sooner I start saving FGAs, the better. This guy is hands down the cheapest one on my list right now.



Jimmy Buckets

Jimmy and Embiid had great chemistry in the half season they played together, but eventually lost to the Raptors after Kawhi's legendary four-bounce buzzer beater.

[Fifii]

I choose Devin Booker ( yeah I’m Phoenix fan also )

I agree with Flacos post above.

Low FGA guys I feel are an absolute premium here in this draft.

And I am taking an absolute favorite of mine.

Should pair perfectly with anyone, but SGA and he would be perfect. He can run the point to let SGA play off ball, he can defend anyone and is the tops of the league in advanced metrics like plus minus.

2.2 stocks per game
4 rebounds
4.7 assists
15 points
40% on 6.7 3-pta
.611 TS% from a guard


Derrick White

[MadNESS]

Victor Wembanyama

20/10/3.2/1.1
Length, scoring, shot blocking, running the floor. No one is on that Spurs team except him. Good fit with KD. I got 2 slim reapers.
