The reverse draft seems to have the most interest so I'll go ahead and launch sign-ups for that sometime tonight. Current draft is almost finished.

Sounds good boss. Hopefully we can fire on Friday evening and officially start on Saturday!

Just posted sign ups with the original idea for the reverse order draft, 1-6 rounds no all-nba 1st or 2nd, rounds 7/8 everyone's available. I think it's a good start but it got me to thinking it would be really fun to do a draft with tapering tiered restrictions. So like Rounds 1/2: No All NBA, All-Defense or All-Star players at all. Rounds 3/4: All-Defense and All-NBA 3rd team only. Round 5: All-Stars available. Round 6: All-NBA 2nd Team available. Round 7: No MVPs but everyone else available. Round 8: MVPs.

Idk, it seems a little convuluted and might be research heavy but it'd be fun to have the first rounds really limited in player pool and then gradually open it up to stars as the rounds go on. Wouldn't have to be that exact structure but something similar.

I know it's not super popular with everyone but I really want to do more of an all-time pool again, How about a stars of the past, role players of the present Draft? Can only take MVP and All-NBA 1st/2nd team guys from 60s-90s, but can pick All-NBA 3rd and below modern players. I don't know, something like that would be fun for me.

MVPs draft - no All star or All NBA players are available, except MVPs. Pool is all seasons going back to first MVP.

I was thinking of a draft where we randomize the picks every round - randaomly random for all 8 rounds.

No MJ or Bron in it

Also would love to get a 30 man game again- that was awesome!

Personally speaking, these are the 2 ideas I like the most:

The no US college one would be pretty crazy. Probably would need to do that as a no FGA restriction one as I don’t know that there’s enough of a pool

The crazier the better!

Agreed that there would be no need for a FGA restricrion.

I like the concept but the MVPs definitely need to be more restricted IMO.

Using restrictions other than FGA is easier with BRef changing to a paid service. It made FGA much less convenient.

How about 1 MVP or all-nba, 2 all-stars. No FGA restrictions

I've got 31 MVPs in history including ones like Cousy, Westbrook, Iverson. When added to no other all-stars I think it's pretty reasonable pool to split up between 8-10 teams. If anything I was considering adding ABA ones.

Yeah I don't see why MVP's need to be more restricted, so many of the guys we use made all-star games, this would be a pretty wild, top-heavy pool, I'm a big fan. I say we do this one next.

Just would prefer to see everyone have to pick two MVPs and build around them.

what about 2 MVP or All-NBA 1st, 2 All-Star but not All-NBA 1st/2nd and 4 that have never made any accolade draft? Idk, I like accolade vs. FGA drafts but they're trickier to figure out

What I'm saying is, I'm fine with MVPs being the only All-Star or All-NBA players you can take. I would just prefer if everyone could only pick two MVPs and then had to build around those two. It would force you to pick two complementary MVPs and then find quality sub All-Star types to fit around them. Once you're looking at three or more MVPs on a team it gets less interesting to me personally.

The One Year Every Decade Draft

Only player's seasons from the first new year of every decade is available, starting with 60-61, and then going 70-71, 80-81, 90-91, 00-01, 10-11, and 20-21. You MUST draft at least 1 player from each decade, that's 7 and then you have a freebie you can take from any of the above seasons.

I think it'd be a fun way to integrate the whole scope of time without having a crazy deep player pool. Only having 7 seasons to pick from will cut out more than a few staples... I think.

The 3rd MVP would probably be one less in demand though. My idea was that I wanted people to have to build around players like Cowens, Reed, Cousy, etc.

I would be concerned though about a sudden big dropoff say from the top of Rd 3 to bottom of it. Would probably consider ABBAABAB at the least
