So the only rules are I know as of now;
1. Seasons from 1976-77 and onwards
2. 85 FGA

But I don't know how many players we're getting. 5? 8? 9? 12? 85 FGA for how many players?

Also, this is my first time participating an all-time fantasy draft on a message board. Do we just post teams right away? Or we follow a serpentine order draft?

You can start updating your roster once you pick players.

Its ABBABABA order.

When you can't be around for your pick, should you PM a list of picks to account for the people that pick before you or do you just send your 1 pick and hope nobody else picks him before you?

Send a top 3 to someone after you.

70sfan with the pick I hoped he make. Tim Duncan would have been my first choice as well.

Was hoping you'd let TD slip.

(According to time table I have some hours to pick I think?)

Don't post discussion in the draft thread.

All good, just for future reference then.

2 hours seems kind of tight, I don't know if it'll make a difference or not but I wouldn't mind pushing it to 3. But I haven't played these games that often so I don't know how fast picks usually get made.

It generally works fine on the T&T board, but I don't know what the pace is like here.

Duncan at #1 has me intrigued already. He's normally picked towards the (upper) middle of the order on the T&T board.

4 GOAT candidates available with these rules. Duncan gives you the best value of the 4 in relation to FGA. I think he was a no-brainer. To me the question will be who reaches for Mike.

Yeah was a bit surprised how high some here are on Duncan. He's up there but I didn't expect to see him as the first pick.

Yeah, Duncan was the best player for 85 fga for 8 players rule. He has peak seasons with not so outrageous fga, he has value seasons. Easy pick.

I'm torn between 2 options, one is way more popular but I'd rather have the other one. Don't know if I should reveal them in here but I need some other thoughts than mine.

Someone's gonna have to fill me in on the specifics of this. What is the 85 FGA format? Is it on some specific site? And Is it strictly calculated by statistical averages/output?

No, it's not on a specific site. It's calculated manually. Though we get help from https://www.basketball-reference.com/ to see averages per seasons.

For example; 1986-87 Magic (16.4 fga) / 1990-91 Jordan (22.4 fga) / 1985-86 Bird (19.6 fga) / 2002-03 Duncan (17.2 fga) / 1966-67 Chamberlain (14.2 fga) combines for 89.8 fga per game. We look for their numbers and calculate the sum manually. Hope that helped. Cheers.

You can send someone a PM for advice. We avoid discussing unpicked players.

That definitely gives me a better picture. But are we determining the winner strictly off of the statistical averages that come out, or are we determining this on other factors that aren't picked up in stats like defense/spacing/how the roster would work together etc?
