I think everyone in the first round will get a good star considering that all players are considered to be in their prime. Also dont give out names of players that have not been drafted.

Yes. Look at the rules. This makes the draft more deep.

So are we building a team for one year? Or a team with the notion that this team will be together and play for years? I ask because, while I know we're drafting players as if they're in their prime, some players primes/careers lasted longer than others. Like say we were doing this for Orlando and I draft Penny Hardaway. Am I doing this knowing he had a really short prime, and thus wouldn't be good to build a franchise around? Or am I getting to pick his top year and use that for a hypothetical single season on my roster?

Lets say for a whole season, but they will be judged based on
-chemistry(how well they can play together, mesh etc)
-Offense
-Defense
-Intangibles
-GM's word (How well you can sell the team to other voters.

I didn't put longevity to make the voting easier.

cp3 was never on the lakers officially so no (dont worry i wouldve drafted him before you anyways doc), and i wouldnt consider marc either. they have to have played at least 1 game for the lakers to qualify imo.

XXXX


I'm not trying to be sneaky :lol:
Read the rules.
A player has to play a game for a laker and be there for the majority of the season. Chris Paul, Marc Gasol dont count.

Do you think I should make it back to A-B-A? Or keep it as is?

But seriously guys don't drop names anymore.

Also before anyone asks. If the player was drafted, but traded he is not eligible.
