This is a structured and interactive project where each user takes control of one or more NBA teams and makes draft picks as if they were the GM. The goal isn’t to predict what teams will do — it’s to make your own call: based on your evaluations, your vision, and your philosophy. We value thoughtful analysis, creative choices, prospect discussion, and most importantly — fun.
You're all welcome to participate. The goal is to have every participant assigned to one team, we'll start assigning more to the same participant in case we still have open spots towards the start of the project.
Start Time:
Saturday, June 21 at 9:00 AM EDT
How It Works:
- Each participant is assigned one or more NBA teams, and is responsible to make all its picks.
- When it's your turn, you post your pick and an explanation of why you made it and how the player fits.
- This is not a mock for prediction. Make the pick you believe the team should make.
- No trades between participants.
- Real-life trades that happen during the mock will apply moving forward but won’t affect past picks.
- You can leave a pick list if you're unavailable, or post your selection quickly and add the write-up later. (Notice that I'm on a different timezone, so might be a better idea to leave lists to someone else)
Timing Rules:
- Each pick has a 4-hour clock between 9:00 AM and 12:00 AM EDT.
- The clock pauses overnight and resumes from where it left off.
- If your time runs out, the next manager can pick. In case too much time passed without a pick, the commissioners might regretfully complete the pick for you.
Signups:
- You may claim one team initially.
- If teams remain unclaimed later, we may allow more.
- To claim your team, reply in this thread. First come, first served.

Questions?
Feel free to ask in the thread.
Looking forward to a great mock. Let’s get started.
In case of any unclarities during the draft, the commissioner will help mediate.
