Future Draft Games

[Laimbeer]

How about a Steal Draft 2, we had a number 1 a couple of years ago?

Each participant can "Steal" one player from any other participant ONCE and noone can get a player "Stolen" from them more than ONCE. No "Stealing" can happen in the last round, so everyone has to make their "Steal" by the 7th round.


?

This is a good idea to play again.

It seems the simplicity of that format led to sort of a limited/predictable course.

Maybe each player could do a steal or two - and when he makes the steal he pays a fga price or gives fga's to the person he is stealing from?

A draft where you have three options when you are on the clock. You only get to choose one option each time you are on the clock.

Option 1: draft a player.
Option 2: increase your FGA budget
Option 3: decrease the number of FGA’s of one of your players.

If you go with option 2 or 3 you will have to wait until you are back on the clock to make your next pick.

What fga values would make sense? Lose 12 for picking in first and 6 for picking in the second? Would we start at a base of 88 or start at less to make people "earn" their normal 88 by skipping early pick(s)?

So what're we thinking for the next one?

[euroleague]

with so many players active, kind of want to host a 30 second draft again.... but, it's hard to host and draft simultaneously, which is why I've hesitated for so long

[goober]

we haven’t done a 3 degrees of frustration draft in a while could be fun

Two ideas for the next one:

1. All depth draft. Only players who shot 12.0 FGA or less are draft eligible. This gives a huge advantage to Magic though so maybe we just rule him out for this one. Or perhaps we could make it where everyone gets one exception to even things out a little better.

2. Mixed eras draft. You get three mixed era categories to draft from. Multiplier will be used for pre-merger to adjust for pace.
a. 60’s/10’s
b. 70’s/00’s
c. 80’s/90’s

For 1, how about all must be between 7 and 15 fga?

I like 2 a lot, can't remember if we did it. Maybe limit each of the two decades to 44 fga so both get used equally?

Alma Mater Pairs Draft: Pick two players each round who played for the same college. For international players you can use the same country. Any two high school draftees can be paired. All subject to the usual restrictions of one MVP/multiple All-NBA First Team per pair.

i would be down for this, would make guys like Pippen, Rodman, and Bowen undraftable, which is interesting.

Can you guys try to download this? I extracted the data.

Code: Select all

For single seasons; in the regular season; from 1959-60 to 2019-20; requiring Games >= 41 and Win Shares >= -10 and Player Efficiency Rating >= -10 and Box Plus/Minus >= -10; sorted by ascending Player

Any chance you can make this spreadsheet available again? Player index just went belly up

[Dr Positivity]

Could we try going down to 6 man rotation and maybe 78 FGA or so without the player index? I think having to weight starting/bench FGA is important for game play but how strong your 6th man is could cover a lot of that

I don't have the Google Sheets version right now but the MS Excel version is still on my OneDrive, so here's the link for it;

BTW, Play Index section is removed but modules are still working. Just use the links in your browser history. For example;
https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi

Though I'm sure soon they'll be removing those links as well.

What's next? I need to wash off the stench of my recent mediocrity.

I think I like this idea, with or without the index. But you'd have to play guys 40 minutes?

You like the matching last names pairs? I think we figured there would be no dominant pairs but I wonder if there would be enough alphas to go around?

It struck me as a game where we could get trapped in a situation where there aren't enough viable pairings to go around. I would expand it to allow for first and last names to be matched, e.g. LeBron James and James Posey.

I think we can do the 2020 And1 game pretty soon.

Looks to me like they've removed everything from individual profiles except regular season per game - no advanced, no playoff stats, etc.

You're right - a page stopped loading there for me and I assumed the worst.
