Declining Percentages - Draft Thread - COMPLETE
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. The draft consists of ten rounds, but you will "Pass" on any two rounds of your choosing.
3. You will be charged a declining percentage of a player's FGAs with each subsequent round. Here are the rounds and the percentage of FGAs you will be charged.
EDIT: Per discussion we have updated the FGA structure to the following.
1 200
2 180
3 160
4 140
5 120
6 100
7 80
8 60
9 40
10 20
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 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 you still have not chosen a player by then, you will be charged with a "Pass". If both of your passes have been used, you will simply be skipped and make your pick later. 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 Tuesday, December 26 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. 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 method TBD.

Nate McMillan. Player of his quality, shooting and defense is easily worth 10.8 FGAs.

I was going to pass but the idea of missing out on an alpha with the big run that seems to be coming up scares me a bit...
