WIS Rookie Seasons Draft

[B]Rookie seasons only.[/B]

[B]Notes[/B]:

1) The draft will run from 54-55 through 12-13 (I don't have anything against pre-shotclock player seasons, but including them could potentially cause confusion).

2) ABA seasons are permitted (though if there's overwhelming opposition, we can limit the ABA to 74,75,76 or whatever we collectively decide, or potentially eliminate it entirely).

3) There's no salary cap. Here's the link to search for players:

Player search: [url]http://www.whatifsports.com/nba-l/playersearch.asp?pg=1&pos=6&season=1954-55&season2=2011-12&sal_min=239000&sal_max=99000000&format=2&showsecondary=1&sb=1&order=1&max=500&searches=-1&replacesearch=-1[/url]

10-12 members, as per usual, seems to be the sweet spot. Post in this thread if you're interested, and after we've gotten enough members, I'll randomize the draft order. I think we'll draft 8 rounds, and then you can fill the rest of your roster with undrafted free agents.

4) I'm not going to place a time restriction to begin with, though if people are taking an incredibly long amount of time it might be necessary. BTW my PM box is full, so perhaps somebody else should volunteer to send reminders/receive selections.

5) Remember, [B]rookie seasons only[/B]!

we still in this b!tch

:banana: I'm in.

let me the fk** in

Bump

I'm in

I'm down, this will be more work than usual though. I don't think you can filter the search for just rookie season so you gotta go through one by one.

this is my idea I'm in..

2 more members needed at least...

It would be a good idea for everyone to put their time-zone so we can set times to do the draft because they usually drag on for about a fortnight and by that time everyone loses interest.

I'm GMT, the time here is 23:21

I forgot the clocks went forward but you know what I meant. So we have to people in the same time zone. Off topic, are you from Northern Ireland or ROI?

I'm in PST, it's 3:37 PM or 15:37 for you 24 hour clock folk

Are y'all starting this tonight? I'm getting off for the night so I won't be able to pick till tomorrow morning.

good to go..

+12:00 Coordinated Universal Time

Time now is 11:03 AM

I'd like to get two more to make it 10. Added timezones to the OP (still need iamgine, Beatlezz, Twiens).

GMT +08:00 :cheers:

Uhh Pacific time, almost 5pm right now

Pst

Room? PST right now.

[QUOTE=IGotACoolStory]Room? PST right now.[/QUOTE]

This guys committed, let's get 10 instead. Someone get a hold of Maniak...

Can I join? :D

GMT+8

Okay, added everyone (I think) and posted all time zones in the OP. Let me know if I missed you on either count.

I'm going to give this a few more hours to see if we can get 2 more people to go to 12, but 10 is fine (and perhaps more manageable). I'll randomize draft order after the members are finalized.

Hi, I've never used WIS before and have no real idea of how it works, but I'd give it a go. Would I have to/be expected to do much after drafting?

Time Zone = BST (British Summer Time) GMT+1

Not that much, if you sign up it gives you an option to add a 'dream team' or something of the sort. After choosing players here, just add them to that team, and let us know your team name.

Somebody else here can probably explain better, since only one draft I've participated in has actually finished and gotten through play lol (FWIW Twiens won like 90% of his games in that league).

Need one more...

You would probably want to set your depth chart too. I don't know about the rest of you, but I normally go 7 or 8 deep and I run up the minutes. Seems to work out best. Not sure if that's the same when most of the team is even

I'll follow. Don't have the time tho

Here is the list from basketball reference for everybody's ease. I have arrange it by points per game..

I'm very interested in seeing who is drafted when.

we drafting yet?

C'mon son, let's start. :banana:

I'll give it 30 more minutes to get to 12. If nobody else joins I'll post the draft order.

let's get it!

30 mins has past.. Let's start this thing :banana:

Draft Order:

1) Twiens
2) Shade8780
3) iamgine
4) MisterAmazing
5) Owl
6) jcsrplumply
7) Beatlezz
8) hangintheair
9) fpliii
10) IGotACoolStory
11) KobesFinger

Twiens is up!

10, huh? No idea who I will pick. Wish I was surrounded by my own timezone. Both 9 and 11 are ahead of me. Seems like every draft, the picks before mine are selected at like 4 am where I live.

Niiiiiiiiice, give me 20 to look around.

Gotta go with big Wilt Chamberlain.

37/27/5 blocks as a rookie :eek:



Shade is on the clock
