I'd have to think of some other things. But I was always interested in these Scavenger Hunt drafts. Finally getting to do one is so awesome. Tons of fun finding out these about players you never knew.

we need to do another cathouse draft....for research purposes and stuff.


As long as people are participating and having fun, I'll keep trying to make new scavenger hunt drafts and cathouse drafts. :) I'd like to do either a 2015-15 NBA Scavenger Hunt draft or perhaps one limited to just a single decade, maybe the 90s, or maybe even a Scavenger Hunt draft limited to only players who have played for the Hornets/Bobcats.


I would help find scavenger hunt categories and participate in them throughout the year no questions asked. These are a damn blast. Hell my wife caught me zoning out at lunch today and I was thinking of future categories we could use.

Yeah I have to say I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would, and I already thought I would enjoy it a lot.

I'm a lock for future drafts.

I'm ashamed to admit that I had trouble sleeping last night because my brain was stuck in a logic bomb thinking about who I should take in the 2nd round. Took me over an hour to get back to sleep when I woke up in the middle of the night because I could not stop thinking hoops.

I couldn't sleep because I knew who I wanted in the 2nd round and was worried someone would take them. I woke up sad. These really are a blast. Glad we finally got one going. I believe this is the first one since I've joined.

oh wait you said there's a .0000001% chance he snipes you not a 100% chance.

So I just spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't get the stop shooting category to work right.

Turns out I was searching by Field Goals Made >20 and Field goal percentage <%15.

Lol can you imagine if somebody actually dropped those numbers. 20-133 in a game.

I haven't seen him in a category. Rookie is an option.

Fat Lever is available in 3 categories - All NBA, Rookie and Stone Hands. I already burned my Stone Hands.

Poor Flip, just one.

tiago splitter?
ilgauskas? is he considered a stiff?
Will Perdue maybe. Not sure if he started in the finals.

Z only at the very end of his career did he score less than 10. Splitter would have to be.

Utah had white stiffs for years.

I remember ilgauskas being pretty damn good. Just a big white guy I remembered that started in the finals.

Longley, another white stiff I didn't think of. Probably the most successful white stiff in history. Starting white stiff centres is obviously essential for great teams.

I hope Hawes can fill that role for us

Luc Longley that's the one. I knew the Bulls had another big whitey but his name escaped me. I'm not sure if perdue started

I loved developing Pavel Podkolzin in one of my old NBA live games, trained him up into a 7'5 monster. Almost want to draft him just to reminisce
