Fantasy Draft: 80's To Present (Era Specific) - Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by Fadeaway_J » Fri Oct 7, 2016 4:39 am

WELCOME TO THE DRAFT!

Image

Link for draft order:

Image
NOTE: LA Bird and Hawk Eye have agreed to switch positions in the draft order.

Rules

- Once the clock starts each manager will have a maximum of 3 hours to make their pick. If you fail to meet this deadline you go to the end of the order for that round. (NOTE: The clock stops at midnight to 8 AM EDT.)

- After you make your pick, please quote or PM the person after you in the order to let them know it's their turn.

- We are using a modified snake draft order: ABBAABBA

- All FGA and other relevant stats will be taken from basketball-reference.com

- If you don't think you'll be around when it's your pick, please PM a shortlist to myself, Hawk Eye, or Snakebites.

- Please post draft picks only in this thread. If you want to hype up your pick and/or quote the next person please do everything in one post. Another thread will be started for general discussion.

- A reminder of the eras:
Era 1: 1979-80 to 1988-89
Era 2: 1989-90 to 1998-99
Era 3: 1999-2000 to 2008-09
Era 4: 2009-10 to 2015-16

I'm not sure if this is really a rule, but I like the pictures so go ahead and post one along with your pick. 8-)

Yeah, I've kind of been thrown for a loop by the last few picks. Thanks for making this draft tough, people who let the conventional top 2 picks drop.

This was the guy I wanted when I saw I had the 4th pick, and I don't really want to change that formula. The FGA limit and the era distinction really increase his value. I have never built around this guy before and am not sure I know the best way to do it, but damned if I don't want to give it a shot.

Might not be the best pick in these FGA games, but it's weird letting the GOAT drop any further than this.

Michael Jordan

Well there is someone I was really excited to build around but I knew what I wanted to do had no shot at winning so I will instead select a guy I definitely didn't think would last this long:

I take Kazaam...

I mean Shaq.

Scottie Pippen to form a devastating wing duo with Kawhi Leonard... That was the plan all along.
