The Veterans' Draft (70s to now) - Draft Thread

Draft Order:

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1969-60 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1969 but the season you choose can't be before 1969-70.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players.

3. Each of your players must be aged 32 or older during their chosen season (per Basketball Reference).

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. The winner of the draft will be determined by a playoff tournament/rankings (TBD).

6. 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 playoffs/rankings begin.

7. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 90.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. The .85 multiplier is in effect for seasons played prior to the 1976 merger. We will use standard rounding rules (i.e. 18.05 counts as 18.1, 18.04 counts as 18.0).

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

9. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to myself or another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

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

11. Draft order will be completely randomised.

12. 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. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet.

Please update picks at the spreadsheet below:
