Draft rules:

1. Only player seasons from the 2024-25 season will be eligible to be drafted.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. 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 will still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in 2024-25.

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

6. 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.

7. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

8. Draft order will be completely randomized.

9. 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.

10. The winner of the draft will be determined by playoffs. Each matchup will have a timed poll, and the team with the most votes after 24 hours will be the winner. If the votes are tied, we will decide the matchup via AI vote.

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 begin.

His price bump this year is annoying but on the other hand he's not that more pricy than other elite options

Had a tumultuous start to the season given the relationship with his team, but once he found a new home he really flourished. And, for what it's worth, he was still a stud even with the previous organization.

3rd Highest WS/48 for his career. Lack of wings in the pool. Only 10.9 FGA

Yeah my only chance of getting Hali there was roddy missing his pick. I'll try Kristaps Porzingis who just made it GP wise.

I’ve gone through my list 100 times and there’s no one in my mind better than him, except 1-2 players who are way too expensive. Proven fit with both guys so I’m taking my boy,

Austin Reaves

Best 3rd option in the association.

Another legit DPOY contender, possibly the #1 perimeter defender in the league.

Allows me to take pretty much any of the less-defensive minded PGs that may drop
