Draft Order:

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players who entered the league between the 1979-80 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. This to ensure everyone's eligible seasons are covered under the draft timeline.

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. For each player you draft, you will be required to select the season in which they posted the highest Win Shares of their career per Basketball Reference (subject to the eligiblity criteria listed in Rule #4).

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected. (If a player had his career high WS during a season where he did not meet this criteria, you will instead select the highest FGA season which qualifies.)

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 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.

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

9. Draft order will be completely randomised.

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.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings followed by a four-team playoff tournament.

Please update picks on the attached spreadsheet.

Expensive but I've never had this guy once despite having Lebron like 6 times and have been waiting ages to fall at #2 in a draft he's eligible. I'll take Michael Jordan

This will surprise some people, myself included, but I'll take:
Kawhi Leonard

DPOY, 1st Team All-NBA, 44.3% 3pt for a reasonable price. FGA's should be important this game.

Last time I drafted this guy, I don't think he got the respect he deserves, but I will go with John Stockton. Hall of Famers for 11 fga are few and far between in this game.

Alright.

David Robinson.

Peak Admiral's a bit expensive but Bird/Robinson is absurd. Too much to pass up.
