Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players who entered the league between the 1976-77 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. The players eligible to be drafted in this draft are any players who Never made the NBA Finals in their career.

4. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 90.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.

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

6. 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.

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

8. Draft order will be completely randomised.

9. 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.

10. The winner of the draft will be determined by Rankings/Playoffs


Please update picks on the attached spreadsheet:

The draft board is a little different here, but I still think there’s a pretty clear BPA for this pick and it’s my choice.

I select Chris Paul.

Not really sure where to go on the perimeter just yet, so I'll grab a do-it-all forward instead.
