I know its been done 100 times on other boards but not here... I was thinking something like a fantasy BNA draft but each pick has to satisfy certain criteria. You have to fill out all the roster spots and cover all the criteria listed. You can fill the criteria in any order you wish. No player can be selected by two different teams. The team is for next season, not a team to build for the future. The winner will be the team that has the best chance of winning an NBA title next year (as voted on by the other managers). 16 rounds.

The rules/criteria

Excluded player pool – Lebron james, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard. All others are fair game.

Criteria that must be met.

1. one rookie from the 2009 draft
2. one European born player
3. one South American born player
4. one International born player (not from South American or Europe)
5. one player from the 2008 or 2009 All-Star game
6. one undrafted 2009 rookie
7. one player older than 35
8. one non-lottery player from the 2008 draft
9. one player picked in the second round from the 2007 draft.
10. one white American born player
11. one player under 6’0” tall (using NBA.com for measurement)
12. one player over 7’1” (using NBA.com for measurement)
13. one player who has never played in the NBA all-star game.
14. one non-rookie who did not play a game in the NBA 2008-2009
15. one player who averaged less than 8ppg in 2008-2009.
16. one coach

Who is in? 10 teams and we can start drafting.

Chabber, WC's don't pick until 11. If you seriously want to participate, we can co-GM. I think that'd be more fun anyway.

edit: just set up a hotmail, Walt_Cronkite@hotmail.com if you are game to partner up.
