NBA All-Time Mixin' It Up Draft

[Danger in Texas]

May as well bring this back for the 3rd year in a row.

Same rules as last time. 6-10 drafters (with assistant drafters if you wish), each drafting the best possible team of all time. All NBA players eligible. Draft 12 players each, with a snake draft order.

This year, each roster slot is designated to a certain category - a bit like the Pick And Mix draft last year. The categories include (and I'm willing to change them if you think there's a better idea for a category):

Two or more NBA Championships won in career
Are one of the NBA 50 Greatest Players Of All-Time
#1 Draft Pick
Born overseas
Played for 4 or more teams
Won either: NBA Sportsmanship Award, All-Star Game MVP, J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award
Has been a coach of an NBA team
Competed in a 3-Point Shootout
Has played overseas
Has NOT been won the NBA League MVP
Has led the league in one aspect
Is/has been an NBA Announcer/TV Analyst

24 hours per pick again, probably the fairest time limit.

Any questions, just ask.

Foregone Conclusions

Can one player cover multiple categories?

Forgone Conclusions

Can one player cover multiple categories?

Once a player has been drafted, he's slotted into one category. Can't be used for many.

[peternorth]

thanks for the invite. however i must decline your offer sheet

 

[Crafted]

I can't remember all that much from last year but here's my "complicated" question.

Lets say I've already picked my guy under the #1 draft pick category.
If I want to choose another category (for example, played for 4 or more teams) am I correct in assuming that they are NOT allowed to be a #1 pick, even if I am not picking them for that category? Danger in Texas

Anyway, I'm in.

My team name will be CBA Thinking of a name

 

[Crafted]

Has led the league in one aspect

Would this include in-depth stats like True FG and PER? Or only the basic Points, Assists, Rebounds, FG% etc?

Oh and would Turnovers count?

Nah, players can fall under multiple. And good

I actually might cap it at 8. The depth of each team's bench would be horrible if we went to 10 drafters.

I'll post the order later today.

Yep. Some players might fit into multiple categories, so specify the one roster spot you want them to fit into.
