**** OFFICIAL FFA 2025-2026 Fake NBA Draft **** - Draft Has Started (6 Viewers)

Based on the incredible feedback so far (1 vote)

This made me laugh. I knew I put the right person in charge.

So we are focusing more on the team-building aspect than the fantasy aspect, yes (defense matters)?

Yes focus on team building before fantasy. Defense and fit should matter.

 

[the moops]

In if ya'll don't mind new, low IQ guys

You can't be any dumber than @Frostillicus so welcome

 

[Eephus]

I'm drafting no Kings this year

 

[Yo Mama]

We’ve got 15 so far:

@Yo Mama
@scoobus
@the moops
@Instinctive
@Juxtatarot
@Bob Loblaw
@Eephus
@Desert_Power
@Corporation
@Frostillicus
@Kev4029
@nirad3
@Master of Subservience
@Chemical X
@Jayrod

I’ll take more entries today then lock it down so I can get a spreadsheet set up. We can start drafting tomorrow (10/21).

 

[Yo Mama]

So are we doing any restrictions/themes on this or just raw dogging this draft?

I may have had a shroom gummy or three this weekend and had the brilliant idea to go crazy and make this a 30-round draft and force everyone to take one player from every NBA team. Great way to learn the Jazz and Hornets rosters.

 

[Sammy3469]

Sure, I'm in.

Sorry I would have been in for "fantasy" but I am stretched for time as it is so if you have someone else able to step in, I will bow out.

No problem - @Instinctive can always take a second team

 

[the moops]

When the **** can we start drafting?

 

[Yo Mama]

Building out the spreadsheet now. We can get the order set tomorrow morning then draft as soon as we want afterward.

I may have had a shroom gummy or three this weekend and had the brilliant idea to go crazy and make this a 30-round draft and force everyone to take one player from every NBA team. Great way to learn the Jazz and Hornets rosters.

Not all teams are carrying 15 guys on the main roster. With 15 drafters and 30 rounds, we would be left with hurt players and 2-way guys.

Sounds like a great idea!

 

[Eephus]

30 rounds seems excessive

 

[Frostillicus]

31 rounds

 

[Yo Mama]

30 rounds seems excessive

So was the third shroom gummy.

I think we’re down to 14 teams overall now.

 

[Yo Mama]

Here is our current 14. I’d like to get 1 more, just because my spreadsheet is set up for 15 teams.

30 rounds would be fun to try some time, but I’m fine just sticking to our normal 15 rounds - especially since games start tomorrow.

 

[the moops]

[scoobus]

Maybe each person gets 2 15-player teams, must use every team in total.

 

[Frostillicus]

How about you can only have one player from a team? Adds some complexity and strategery and is easy to keep track of.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I agree. You are very smart and wise.

Uhh, we already said that.

I like this idea. We could even go a step further and limit how many players we can take from each conference and division.

 

[Jayrod]

What are the rules exactly?

 

[Yo Mama]

What are the rules exactly?

I’ll get it officially clarified in the morning, but it looks like we’re going to stick with 15 round snake draft, third round reversal, only roster limitation is one player per nba team. Everyone votes for @scoobus as the winner after the draft. I’ll put all the rosters into a fantasy site to track the stats during the season.

 

[Kev4029]

I have a goofy schedule this week, so if we are rolling for draft position, somebody roll for me. For the sake of the group - it would be great if I got a later pick today.

Same.

 

[Eephus]

What's the ruling if the association expands to 32 teams before we finish?

 

[Yo Mama]

We add 2 more rounds.

If you find a couple more, I can drop. Things have gotten pretty busy for the couple of weeks.

I think we’re still at 14 with you included. I’m hoping this won’t be a huge time investment since it’s basically a straight up draft (nothing crazy like salaries included). We’d love to still have you but let me know if you need to drop.

Finishing up my spreadsheet and we’ll set the draft order soon.

 

[Yo Mama]

We’ve got our 14 teams locked in.

OFFICIAL RULES
- 15 round snake draft, 3rd round reversal
- no trading draft picks
- make picks here in this thread and also add them to draft spreadsheet
- there will be no clock, but if you’ll be away for a while and coming up soon, make sure to send a list to someone so we don’t get too bogged down
- the only restriction is ONLY ONE PLAYER MAX PER NBA TEAM on your roster
- drafting should be focused more on team building for the 25-26 season (things like defense and fit should matter) rather than fantasy
- I’ll dump the rosters into a 8-category roto fantasy league just to keep track of the season stats - no roster maintenance required
- I’ll compile consensus rankings after the draft is complete

I’ll get the draft order set after lunch and then we can start whenever.

[Yo Mama]

Ok, the draft order is set. @the moops gave me the teams in random order and @Eephus gave me the draft slots in random order. I matched them up to get the draft order.

Frostillicus - 4
Master of Subservience - 13
Corporation - 14
Bob Loblaw - 1
Chemical X - 6
Yo Mama - 10
Desert_Power - 11
Juxtatarot - 2
scoobus - 7
the moops - 8
Kev4029 - 9
Sammy3469 - 12
Jayrod - 5
Eephus - 3

Draft Order
1 - @Bob Loblaw

Individual draft picks or players cannot be traded, but I will allow people to swap draft slots before any picks are made in those spots.

I’ll get the draft spreadsheet set up as soon as I remember how to save it out as a google sheet - hopefully before my next meeting. I’ll link it here once I have it set up.

 

[the moops]

I would prefer to be at the beginning or end. Anyone wanna swap?

 

[Yo Mama]

Draft file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...BLllrOOM3CS_O-CUngoJlFZlWcs/edit?usp=drivesdk

Let me know if it’s not working.

 

[Yo Mama]

DRAFT PROCESS
- post pick here and talk about how awesome it is
- @ the next person up in the draft order
- type in player name on Draft tab of google sheet
- select nba team from drop down list next to player name
- please DO NOT SORT the draft tab
- the Teams tab has everyone’s rosters
- my file is still set up to track how many players on your teams are in each conference and division, but don’t worry about those - no limits on those things. Maybe it’ll help people learn the divisions though.

 

[Eephus]

It probably won't come into play without a cap but are players on two-way contracts eligible?

 

[Yo Mama]

Yep, pick whoever you want.

 

[Yo Mama]

@Bob Loblaw - feel free to start us off whenever you’re ready

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Pick 1.01 - Nikola Jokic - Denver Nuggets

@Juxtatarot is up

 

[scoobus]

Pick 1.01 - Nikola Jokic - Denver Nuggets

@Juxtatarot is up

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeach

 

[scoobus]

Also willing to swap draft spots with someone ahead of me, don't overflow my inbox with all the offers.

 

[Juxtatarot]

2.02 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander -- OKC Thunder

@Eephus

 

[Juxtatarot]

Pretty sure I can predict through four.

 

[scoobus]

Preemptive pick or quit.

 

[the moops]

Pretty sure I can predict through four.

Eephus is very unpredictable

 

[Eephus]

1.03 - Luka Dončić - LAL

There's another guy who I was considering here but I think Luka offers more a little more flexibility for future team construction. Plus the whole best shape of his life business.

@Frostillicus

[Frostillicus]

I'm so torn.
