draft information.

i'm sure you gentleman all read the pm, since you agreed to do this. i thank you for taking the time to participate in this, as i feel it will be a fun activity and also provocative for discussion on the forums, which have frankly been dead.

the rules are simple:
12 teams.
12 players per team.
snake-style draft (person who picks last in first round picks first in the second round).
playing in today's basketball environment (three point line, lack of hand-checking, general lack of intense physicality, etc.)

the premise is simple, as well. if you were going about creating a basketball team with every player that has played in the nba to date, how would you go about assembling it?

please consider size, skill, playing style, etc. you could opt to simply choose the best talent you find, or figure out how each part meshes with the rest. it's up to you.

you will respond to the blog post here with your draft selections.

when all 144 players have been selected, the fun begins. each owner will pm me who they think is the best pick of the draft and the worst pick, exlcuding players from your own team to ensure impartiality. also, you will rank each team, 1-12. i will compile all these answers and post them in the thread, along with the actual draft results.

also, i would like each owner to describe their players, why they picked them and how they envision their team will work together and play. will they be nine seconds or less like the mid-2000's suns? will they focus on one player like the 90's rockets? will they spread the wealth and hunker down on defense like the pistons of a few years ago?

this should be fun, and i can't wait to see how it goes and how the rest of the operation sports community will receive this project.

good luck, gentlemen.

i encourage questions, so feel free to respond to this with comments or inquiries to get a better understanding.
