Draft Order:

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1977-78 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1977 but the season you choose can't be before 1977-78.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. You will be required to use one player season from each five-year period between 1976-77 to 2016-17. At the time when you draft each player, you will be required to state which period his chosen season will be taken from. To be specific, those periods are:

Period 1: 1977-78 to 1981-82
Period 2: 1982-83 to 1986-87
Period 3: 1987-88 to 1991-92
Period 4: 1992-93 to 1996-97
Period 5: 1997-98 to 2001-02
Period 6: 2002-03 to 2006-07
Period 7: 2007-08 to 2011-12
Period 8: 2012-13 to 2016-17

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 rankings.

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.

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:

With the 4th pick in The Five Year Plan Draft, ChicagoSportsFan21 selects...

Spoiler:
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR-C-LOS ANGELES LAKERS-1977-1982

I never had him before in these games so I decided to go with KAJ-great two way big who was an unstoppable force offensively with his skyhook and an elite defender!

After discussing with those in power, I feel it necessary to take the guy at a position with less depth and in an era with slightly less guys I would want. Following a thorough analysis of my Dream, I am going to go with...

Larry Bird, Period 2 1982-83 through 1986-1987

Open up those PMs, Fade. I'll be asking how to build around this guy. :lol:

Not sure I've had him and looks like a fun, versatile player as the guy.

You guys don’t like to make this easy. Nonetheless, 1996 Scottie Pippen.
