Future Draft Games

[Laimbeer]

I'd like to try a team-up draft of some kind (where two posters team-up and alternate picks) again. Those were fun. I remember me and Timmay had some good synergy

yeah after we decided to spite each other with Kobe/KG we did work really well lol

Team up auction? Either partner could bid, no communicating.

I've never done an auction but sounds fun.

No Overlap Draft. None of your players' career span can overlap with any others.

No Overlap Draft. None of your players' career span can overlap with any others.

That seems almost impossible for an eight-man roster. Might be better to just apply that to consecutive picks.

I don't think so. If it's 1970 and forward.

Ones starter's career ended early seventies. Another starter's career started 2015 or later. That leaves mid seventies to mid 2010's for your other three starters. Find bench guys who only played a couple of seasons. Maybe the fifth starter has a somewhat shorter career.

Those are some very specific parameters. I mean I'm sure you could build teams to fit the criteria, but they'd be very stilted and the research would be a pain in the ass.

BR allows you to search players whose career started or ended in a particular period so that helps a little, but it's definitely research heavier than most.

We could relax it by excluding bench players from the restriction?

Or no all stars who overlapped. I have not been crazy about the starters/bench rules in the past, usually people find a way around it with gimmicky teams with all stars off the bench

Agreed on both counts.

How about a total FGA limit of 15 for three bench players, stipulate none could be all-stars or play over 20 minutes.

Much prefer Dr P's idea. Restricting bench players in that manner is far too intrusive and needlessly complicated.

I don't think that restriction is quite stringent enough for 70s and forward, but how about if we do it this way along with tightening the span? 80s or 90s and forward? I'm not crazy about the 70s really.

80s to now seems fine.

16.5 - (No max)
14.5 - 16.4
12.5 - 14.4
10.5 - 12.4
8.5 - 10.4
6.5 - 8.4
4.5 - 6.4
0 - 4.4

I like the idea but Magic would be an issue

Would he? He seems to have a similar type benefit in this game - elite player who doesn't take a lot of FGAs / high FGA slot.

BTW, I'm thinking I want to make the era limited to 90s and forward at most. If there are too many elite players it becomes an easier decision to fill lower slots sooner.

I think the person who drafts Magic will still get great players with the top 2 slots, likely one of them an MVP. It will be very difficult for someone else with one MVP caliber player to compete. Or to put it another way of someone spends their first round on like Reggie Miller the difference between that and getting Magic is huge, and they may even have to use a higher slot

Agreed. Should legislate against being able to pick an MVP with those lower slots.
