Post-Merger/Pre-00s 80 FGA Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by damecurry » Wed Jan 24, 2018 3:21 am

DRAFT RULES:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, any season of any player between the years 1977 and 1999 will be available to be drafted. Any player who enetered the league before 77 is available but you must use a season in that timeframe. There will be no multiplier.

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 must select a specific season for all players and list that year along with the FGA used on your roster page. This does not need to be done until the draft is complete.

4. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 80.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. Please note the change from 90 to 80 FGA limit.

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:

Going to pass over those drool-worthy big men and grab a wing. Besides, he's fun and one of my favorite players.

Probably a silly approach, but let's see what happens... Scottie Pippen

I like the options that are likely going to drop to me, so i'll go conservative here.

Due to positional scarcity and lack of good range shooting I will take Grant Hill and Reggie Miller.

Bit of a reach, but the value is too good to pass up.
