Fantasy Draft: 70's To Now THE DRAFT 

Post#1 » by Hawk Eye » Tue Sep 6, 2016 12:22 am

Here is a screenshot I took of the draft order from randomizer.org

Image

Rules:

-Each person will have a 3-hour window to make their selection once they are on the clock. Anyone who fails to do so will be pushed to the end of the draft round and whoever goes after them will then be on the clock.

-After you make your selection, be sure to quote and/or PM the person after you saying that they are next (this way they get a notification telling them it is their turn).

-This will be a modified snake draft. It goes like this.. ABBAABBA

-We will be drafting 8 players so there will be 8 rounds.

-When a person drafts a certain player, another person can't draft them and just switch the year/season they played--when a player is drafted they are gone from the pool.

-We will be using basketball-reference.com as our guide to look up specific seasons, stats, and FGA for players.

Please remember, if you know ahead of time that you won't be around to make your pick then PM me, Snakebites, or MadNESS the guy you want to draft so one of us can make the selection for you. This way the draft can keep moving along.

Also, make sure to add a picture with the player you select! :D

Round 1 #3 Overall Pick: Michael Jordan

The GOAT needs to win one of these and all I know is that he responds pretty well to being picked #3.

This is probably a reach but I want to build around him even if it isn't him at his peak scoring...

Captain of the NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers with a then record 69 regular season wins. Outplayed the much younger league MVP in the playoffs.

1971-1972 season
First team All-Defense
Second team All-NBA
3rd in MVP voting
Only 9.3 FGA
.649 FG%
19.2 rebounds per game and 21 per game in the playoffs
Probably only person I will say can actually go 1 on 1 with Shaq physically

The ultimate ladies man...Wilt Chamberlain

Sorry for the slight hold up. There are two players still on the board that I have always wanted to build around and I just couldn't make up my mind. In a heads or tails coin flip that I left up to Siri, I will be selecting...

Magic Johnson

Image

It's nice to get a guy who is unanimously considered the all time greatest at his position.

One more monster player we resurrected by going back to the 70's. Not quite Mike or LeBron, but I'd put his prime right up there with any other perimeter guy. One of my all-time favorites, too.

Julius Erving

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

After watching my players disappear one by one over the last 2-3 picks, I am going to get the best remaining center, Patrick Ewing.

And now I'll give Patrick Ewing a better PG than anyone he ever played with - another Knicks legend, Walt Frazier.
