Fantasy Draft: 80's To Now DRAFT THREAD

Here is a screenshot I took of the draft order from randomizer.org

Image

Rules:

-Each person will have a 3-hour window to make their selection once they are on the clock. Anyone who fails to do so will be pushed to the end of the draft round and whoever goes after them will then be on the clock.

-After you make your selection, be sure to quote and/or PM the person after you saying that they are next (this way they get a notification telling them it is their turn).

-This will be a modified snake draft. It goes like this.. ABBAABBA

-We will be drafting 8 players so there will be 8 rounds.

-When a person drafts a certain player, another person can't draft them and just switch the year/season they played--when a player is drafted they are gone from the pool.

-We will be using basketball-reference.com as our guide to look up specific seasons, stats, and FGA for players.

Please remember, if you know ahead of time that you won't be around to make your pick then PM me, Snakebites, or MadNESS the guy you want to draft so one of us can make the selection for you. This way the draft can keep moving along.

Also, make sure to add a picture with the player you select! :D

I have my whole team already picked out, down to the decimal point (except maybe the last guy, three candidates). So, it's a matter of picking them in order of who are mostly likely to be picked my somebody else. 1993-94 version: All-Defense second team, .391 from the three, and 5.4 FGA is a-ok with me

Sorry, i'm on my phone right now and I can't figure out to quote properly, someone please inform

I'll go with Magic. FG limit makes it almost a slam-dunk.

BdeRegt selects Kawhi Leonard (2015-16). Love getting a lock down defender who is elite offensive player who doesn't need a lot of shots.

WADE

2009 season

30.2 PPG
7.5 APG
5.0 RPG

2nd in the league in steals @ 2.2 per
7th in assists from a SG
1.3 BPG

16th ranked peak of all time.

All star, All NBA FIRST team, ALL NBA second team

Really wanted to go this route regardless of what happened in the first round since I've never build around Wade.

Hopefully my next pick is there when I'm up again.

This sucks. The one time at the end of the draft where there are seriously good players still on the board and I want to fiddle around and create a modified version of one of my favorite teams. WELP.

ROBINSON

1994-1995

League MVP

Defensive anchor, lower-ish FGA's

Doesn't really need the ball, but still dominates the game

Lots of options but I have to go with Anthony Davis 2014-15. PER over 30. Elite Defense, positional versatility, offensive force, and love the athleticism next to Kawhi. With the two of them I have a 3/4 or 4/5 combo depending if I want to play big or small. Additionally, Davis is by far the most skilled big man.
