SportsHoopla Draft Idea

[Arizona_Sting]

Alright, this may sound crazy… but hear me out. If we can get 30 people to participate in a 10 round draft to create 30 ten man rosters that would be pretty sweet. Each person would pick a team and make a pick for that team. The goal is to build the best team possible. It would probably take a while but seeing the end results would be awesome. We could see who would make a good GM and build a team from the bottom up.

It would basically be like an NBA replica type of deal. I'd have the draft order be a Snake Draft, so if you have the 1st pick then you'd also have the 60th pick, and if you pick 30th then you get the 31st as well.

We could vote on the best current teams, best future teams, who would make the playoffs, etc, etc. once we finish.

So here's the sign up list, let's see if we can get 30 peeps: (feel free to pick whichever team you want, even if they aren't your favorite team)

If @trojanfan12 could update the list too as we go that'd be awesome.

If we can't get 30 participants we could always have people take over another team as well.

Probably forgot some people but did my best to tag as many as I could.

Rules:

1) Draft order will be randomized.
2) Each team gets 24 hours to make a pick. It shouldn't take that long though since most of you will know around when you will be picking.
3) If you do not make the pick in time then your pick will be skipped to the next team. Once that team makes their pick then we will decide as a group who the skipped team will auto draft if they still haven't arrived and we'll move on.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm in

 

[bksballer89]

Just using current players I'm assuming right.

@wlk3 love these things

what would also be cool- is putting the rosters into an NBA Live for PS4 and running a sim a few times over once the teams are drafted- just randomize the last 5 roster spots as going 15 deep in the draft doesnt make sense obviusly-- but whatever- i prob would....but having an objective assessor like a sim would be interesting.

 

[wlk3]

Current players only or including the upcoming draft class...?

 

[gordontrue]

Sounds cool. I'm in.

 

[jwolt92]

I'd do it. Never done a draft on here, but see them all the time. I'll take the Bucks

 

[purguy12]

Im in I want the Bulls.

 

[HammerDown]

Better count me out, man. Just being realistic.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ok. I'll take the Cavs.

Yeah, this thing will probably take a long time. 300 picks

Pretty good idea, but it could be a tedious process.

Give me my favorite team OKC- I mean the Cavs!!!

 

[trojanfan12]

@Arizona_Sting I assume it is 1 person per team. If so, @WiggyRuss and @Shanemansj13 need to pick different teams. @gordontrue was first to say he was in.

Give me the Knickerbockers...bringing a ship back to NYC

 

[trojanfan12]

@wlk3 I assume you're in and gave you the Lakers. If you're not, let me know and I'll remove your name.

 

[trojanfan12]

Done.

 

[Bolts]

I'm in. I'll take the Kings, time to make them good again!
