Tournament Of Champions Draft: Draft Thread

[damecurry]

Welcome to the Tournament Of Champions Draft!



Draft Rules:

1. Only seasons in which the given player won an NBA or ABA title are eligible to be selected. All NBA and ABA seasons are available but any player you select must have been part of the title winning team in THAT year. Please keep this in mind as you make your selections, being a title winner is not enough in itself, you have to select one of the seasons in which they actually won the title. Additionally the player selected must have played minutes in that playoff season as well, no cheap-skate drafting a player who was technically on a title team but didn't play for them, he has to have been a contributor in the playoff run.

2. The winner of the draft will be determined by way of a 16-team playoff tournament (see playoff rules).

3. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. There will be no trading. However, you can trade your draft pick position with somebody else before the draft begins if you wish to do so.

4. You must state the specific season of the player you choose to draft. You don't have to do it right away when you make your selection but you must state it on your team roster page before the playoff tournament begins.

5. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 90.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.

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

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If a participant does not make a pick within 2 hours, they can make their pick whenever. A participant who has back to back or consecutive picks will have both full windows to make their picks. A participant who misses 2 consecutive picks may be replaced. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM/email your selection/list to myself (wallengms@gamil.com) or another participant...I strongly urge this so that the draft can move in a timely manner.

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

9. Draft order will be completely randomized via random.org and will be posted once the 16 slots are fill.

10. 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, which will start their 2 hour period.

11. If you use a season of a player from before the NBA/ABA merger (1975-76 and before), multiply that player's FGA by 0.85.

[Square]

In real life he has vanquished his demons, but in RealGM world he is still searching for his first title. So Team Square selects



Lebron James.

[Square]

By request, damecurry selects



Magic Johnson

[GeorgeMarcus]

First time building around this guy. One of the most dominant seasons of all time, if not the most.

Shaquille O'Neal

[pelifan]

Michael Jordan



5 realGM rings and still drops SMH

[Timmaytime]

wilt

[lilroddyb]

Give me Hakeem Olajuwon

[Jory04]

Lots of ways to go, but never built around him before.

Tim Duncan

[8on]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

up

[Hooplah]

Julius Erving

[Tony Snell]

I'll take Larry Bird.

[BdeRegt]

I really wanted Bird as never had him that I can remember. I will go with Dwyane Wade.

U

[Fadeaway_J]

It's been too long:


Kobe Bryant

[DerrickNoah]

Bill Russell

[Laimbeer]

Never built around this guy and he's a fairly clear choice to me.

Steph Curry

[poopdamoop]

I'll take Dirk. Still on my phone, can someone quote Jan please?

[damecurry]

Per list jan selects bill walton. Back to poop.

Edit: He selects Scottie Pippen with his second pick.

[poopdamoop]

Jerry West

Back to you

[Laimbeer]

A few guys were tempting, but this guy gives me a two way player who's a good fit for Steph. The cost aint bad either.


Kevin Garnett

Up

[DerrickNoah]

Kawhi Leonard
