I'm not sure it's worth doing for this. Drafting before the season with no transactions at all makes it sort of a crap shoot anyway. Add in the extra dimension that none of us are Whatifsports basketball experts, I feel like people could do just as well at the end of the draft as getting an elite talent early.I'm open to discussion about it though.

We could flip or have rookies be a "separate draft" and be eligible to be drafted only in round 18/19/20 like we did in BABFL.I'm not sure it's worth doing for this.

Well, I am picking at the end of round 3. Picking at the beginning of round 3 sounds a lot better.Convinced?I'm not sure it's worth doing for this.

When we drafted those rookies they weren't even drafted in real life yet. Seems to make no sense to have a separate draft for them now.We could flip or have rookies be a "separate draft" and be eligible to be drafted only in round 18/19/20 like we did in BABFL.I'm not sure it's worth doing for this.

Still does. Gives teams who miss out the the for sure elite talent a chance to nab a dynamic rookie to bloster their bench/starting lineup.Teams at the top of the even rounds get first dibs on the rookies and can plan accordingly.When we drafted those rookies they weren't even drafted in real life yet.

That's a rock solid argument right there.

I don't know, if you're starting with James, Durant, Howard, Wade etc; you are starting off with a huge advantage. And the talent drop off is steep so it is difficult to make up. If this was a 12-16 team league or something I'd say, yeah, a simple serpentine probably would work, but this is a 24 (28?) team league. Maybe the WIS scoring format will help mitigate the talent gap I don't know - first time playing in one.I'm not sure it's worth doing for this.

Made a lot more sense in a dynasty format. In a one and done format it's not such a big bonus and it's certainly not making up for the elite talent loss. This wasn't a James, Wade, Anthony type draft.Still does.

We should've had this argument before everyone knew their draft spot. Now we're all biased.
FWIW, we did a WIS league using the 05-06 season because they had a free team promotion. Serpentine draft. I won from the 23rd pick.

Yah I don't really care much. Just offered a solution. Would rather drafting began.Is there a clock?

Once you make an account there, you can go build an exhibition team for free. That gives you access to the full database of stats from past seasons.'No. 16 said:

How about a switching in the 5th instead of the 3rd? I'm middlish, so I have no dog in this fight, but the 3rd round seems a bit much.
Really hate the rookie idea.

I think we need 2 more rolls.

If it's put to a vote I'd go for standard serpentine, but I wouldn't fight a 5th round reversal.

If they're traded you have to use their full season, no partials.I'm assuming there will be a clock, especially with the season less than a month away.

PMed Arizona Ron. I'd PM TU but I don't think he ever checks his PMs.

I texted TUP, I imagine he'll have me roll for him.
Notorious T.R.E.

Yeah, no partial seasons...either full season or if traded "combined" season.We'll do a two hour clock on Monday. What do we usually do for hours? 9am-6pm for the drafter's local time?
As soon as all rolls are in, we'll start with no clock. That will give everyone time to prepare and see we've started.

Agree.In the BABF draft there was no clock for most of the time (or else a 12 hour clock) and we got to round 15 (30 teams) in about 1 month. I'd be happy with a generous clock for the first 8 rounds at least and then you speed things up at the end depending on the time.

Yeah I think it's the $10 one; you won't need to sign up until after the season though.

It's $10. I think baseball costs around $15 and that's where that number is coming from.

We won't need to join until the end of the basketball season. Good question.I can set us up a roto league to track our rosters/players and I'll need emails for that to invite everyone.
