Future Draft Games

[Fadeaway_J]

I was thinking about game with 16 participants and with a limited player pool were each franchise will have 4 players available. That means that if Steph Curry, Durant, Draymond and Klay Thompson get drafted then no one else can draft from the Warriors and have to look for players in other franchise's. Could be fun using all of the franchises equally and some stars andquality role players will be left out because some franchises have been so stacked with talent

So you would have to declare the franchise you're using as soon as you make the pick?

I like this idea.

Yes you would have to declare it

Are there many significant players who wouldn't be in their franchise's top four? It tweaks lower rounds maybe but I can't see it having a lot of impact on the meat of the draft?

[lilroddyb]

Haven't really looked into this much but I could see some quality guys that tend to get drafted late like Brandon Roy, Russell Westbroook, Kevin johnsson, Deron Williams, Iguodala etc being left out

What if we lowered it to top 3?

[Fadeaway_J]

What if we lowered it to top 3?

I don't see how that's possible, we'd only have 90 players total to choose from. Even four per franchise would actually be just short if we had 16 drafters.

Maybe everyone who never made an all-star game is eligible?

yea I guess we should have 15 drafters and go with rankings or hybrid

To piggyback Dr P's suggestion, maybe allow 2 from each franchise but players who never made an all-star team are exempt from the two player limit?

I think this is about right

yea could have something like maximum 4 guys per franchise and only two or three of them have made allstar team

So if we can get 15 teams, four per franchise works out exactly at 120. I'd suggest a two all-star limit to add more strategy. My concern would be getting under 15 teams, which would lessen the impact of the restriction.

I've got you on the signups. Let me know if you want anything tweaked.

I like it and thanks for taking care of it . If we get way fewer than 15 participants then we could just lower the number to three players per franchise or something like that

To piggyback off roddy's idea, how about 8 team pods that are assigned 8 franchises. Each team has to take one player from each franchise.

Or a draft where everyone has to draft 1 player from each of Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Warriors, Sixers, Pistons, Suns, Blazers - or whatever 8 teams is determined to have the best pool. We could also have 9 teams but you are allowed to pass on one, which would give people a little more flexibility

I don't mind this but I'm thinking more than eight will want to play. I also kind of like the idea of the eight franchises not all being loaded, so long as it's not too top heavy.

Could we have 16 players who all need to draft at least one player from 8 teams)
