Future Draft Games

[Laimbeer]

Include some rule where non all stars or bench players don't apply? Otherwise the need to either start or end with low FGA players dominates the strategy

I thought that was the point. Otherwise I could see this draft looking a lot like a normal draft - start with Batman and work your way down. There would be some twists, but I'm not sure there would be a lot.

Isn't that the case with the bench players included as well though? MVP 1st round and going top down is obviously a better strategy than bottom up. I guess it's fine though cause the strategy is how fast you go down

Maybe allowed to go up five.

I think 3 is ok. There should be enough room to up once if someone starts in the middle

.eg

16
18
15
12
10
7
4
1

I also assume at least one person tries to go from the bottom and stack the low FGA guys

I'd like to see a fairly even distribution in strategy. Anyway it's good.

[Fadeaway_J]

It feels like most teams will be forced into very similar FGA allocations.

[Blazers-1977]

That's fair though wouldnt you say that would be a little too much. Maybe a total 15 seasons could be a good compromise

I think he's saying you get a ten year span. In the 1991 Jordan example you could go 1982-1991 OR 1991-2000.

Exactly. The 10 year period remains, it just depends on what starting point you choose.

Oh Ok then lets go with that , I will start the signup thread for that

We could do a draft where our pick limits the pick of whose after us. I was thinking they have to pick someone that played for the same time as our draft pick.

For example
Goober picks LeBron with pick #1
With pick #2 Laimbeer has to pick someone that has played for the Heat, Lakers, or Cavs so for example Kareem Abdul Jabar
With pick number 3 Fade-away J has to pick someone from the Lakers or Bucks etc etc

I’m not doing so great at explaining but do you guys understand? Could be more strategic and what not

Problem with this would be lists would non-existent and the draft would severely drag on with people not being able to plan ahead at all.

We did it during a period everyone committed to being around and had appointed times for their picks (every 15 minutes). Just one person making a bad choice can gift it to someone else, though.

[Laimbeer]

How about a game where the season span available gradually grows? Every three picks, one more season (in succession), becomes available.

We could start doing that by going modern, and then getting older.

More strategy to it

[8on]

Heck yes

That sounds kind of insane and I'd be super down.

My thinking was the later years are richer and it's more interesting if there's some uncertainty about who you're building around.

[Zion Wembanyama]

I'm here for any game.

I’d be down for another same team draft I really liked that one

Am I nuts? How about a game where your FGAs have to go up then down with each pick.

Pick 1 (any), Pick 2 must be greater than Pick 1, Pick 3 must be less than Pick 2, Pick 4 must be greater than Pick 3, etc.

Your FGAs by round may end up like this. You are alternately going up and then down. Working toward the middle it seems.

How about a draft where you must have one leading scorer from a championship team, one leading scorer from a runner up team, one other player from a championship team, one other player from a runner up team and every other player a non allstar in the chosen season AND all the four players that were chosen for being in the finals their chosen season must be the season their team was in that finals. Obviously there are players who were in multiple finals and some players who were their team's leading scorer in multiple finals.

Next draft could be an all decade draft prom 2009-2010 to 2018-2019 seeing that the NBA just released their all decade teams

Usually a good idea to have an exception for 1 pre 2010 player in a draft like that, otherwise it's really hard to win from the bottom when your best player is Embiid or something
