No Defense - Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by Laimbeer » Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:28 pm

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1989-90 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1989-90 but the season you choose can't be before 1989-90.

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. Any player who ever made any NBA all-D team is not eligible.

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

5. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 75.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. Your first round pick will be exempted from your total.

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 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 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 immediately.

8. The clock will begin Thursday morning at 9 AM EST. It will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

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. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. EDIT TO CLARIFY: The quoting is a courtesy. Your clock starts after the previous pick whether or not you are quoted.

11. The winner will be determined by a ranking system with the top four vote getters advancing to a playoff.

Not the best player available but considering FGAs dont count here and I really want a 2 way wing here this choice is pretty easy.

I generally dont like taking the same guy two drafts in a row, but cant pass up an MVP winner here.

So many offensive players I'm struggling to separate. I'll go for a guy who I'm always perplexed didn't make a single All-Defensive Team.

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu Ginobili

Keeps the international flair going. And he is a solid defender, much better than the other notable SG available right now. Also provides lots of FGA flexibility. And to top it all off I am pretty sure I have never had him.

OK I need to go to work and I think I've given Smash enough time to amend his pick.

I'll take Chris Mullin.
