Hubie Brown Draft - Draft thread 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Thu Feb 13, 2025 4:19 pm

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA/ABA seasons from 1959-60 to 2023-24 are eligible, subject to the restrictions outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 8 rounds. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations. Any player chosen in a season that is pre-merger will have a multiplier of 0.85 applied against their actual fga, rounded to closest 0.1.

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. He needs to play at least 50% of his games for an eligible franchise.

5. In each round, you select a player, in a season where he played at least 50% of his games in one of the following franchises or predecessor franchises:

Milwaukee Bucks

Kentucky Colonels

Atlanta Hawks

New York Knicks

Memphis Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers

Detroit Pistons

Or any season for a player who played college basketball for Duke University https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/colleges.fcgi?college=duke

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 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. 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 polls. AI will be used as a single vote when a matchup is tied and stuck.

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

There were 8 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

I was really hoping for Wilt here for FGA

But MVP Kareem and the best player in the draft will do just fine.

1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Oscar Robertson

1971 NBA champ, 5th in MVP voting, all-NBA 2nd teamer, old school Luka / Harden costing only 12.5 FGA. Imo, the 2nd best PG of all time.

Walt Frazier

He might be the best PG in the draft since Oscar is only available as a Buck

After Dumars/Allen in first 2 rounds I think I should just take the BPA here.

Moses Malone

Was taking Moses, but maybe a blessing as I think he would fit better.

Artis Gilmore. 13.6 FGA MVP.

Used to kill it with him on NBA Street :lol:
