YOU WANNA PLAY A LITTLE GAME?It's easy and doesn't cost a lot of time. We're going to do a re-draft of youngsters in the NBA.
All you have to do is vote (max 3 players once a day in one post).
The players that are eligible for this draft are under restriction of age (as of January 1st) and experience (both factors are equally important):
Player is 23 or younger, less than 4 years NBA experience.
Player is 24 or younger, less than 3 years NBA experience. (etc.)
This means that players like Aaron Gordon (5th year in the league) or Buddy Hield (26 years old) are not on the list, since they don't qualify as young or inexperienced enough to be seen as youngsters. I had to draw the line somewhere. But we do have a big talent pool, with a soft pre-selection that has left all relevant players (i.m.o). Hopefully this will be fun.
What are the rules?
- Vote once a day in one post
- Name three players in order (order important in case of ties)
- You're allowed to vote multiple days for the same player(s)
- Please vote seriously and on players that haven't been drafted yet
- Try not to discuss too much (makes it easier for me to count the votes)
Since the top positions are most interesting, there are more votes required for a player to be drafted. In case of ties, the players that's mentioned first by the decisive voter will win. I'll give an overview below of the players (arranged by age) that can be drafted and those that have been drafted. PM me if you have questions or remarks.
I'll try to update the draft in this opening post every morning (which means night time in America). It's up to the popularity of this topic, whether we'll do one draft round of 30 picks or that we'll play a second round as well.
