HI Masai

Could it work better as a height thing? 6'6-6'9 only?

I prefer the original idea tbh.

I like the 6-6 to 6-9 thing but would also be fine with SF only.

I’d wait for current stuff to end. Or at least one.

You can start your game first if you want

All forwards is also an option instead of just SFs

Journeyman draft: only players to play for three or more franchises are eligible

We did this one in 2017, but the top end has strengthened considerably since then with LeBron, KD, Kawhi, Wade, CP3, and Harden all eligible now.

I like this.

We just had an uptick in player participation. Maybe we can hold off on the 75 all time draft for another time.

I liked the Bricklayer draft, maybe Bricklayer: Stars only, all-stars can't be 3pt shooters but role players can

I may have pitched this before, not sure, but it's not in this thread so here goes:

The One Per Decade (+1) Draft: You must take one player from each decade starting with the 60s and going up through the 2020s. That's 7 decades so you have one wild-card that you can take from any decade.

We could implement some sort of accollade or other restrictions or quirks to tighten the pool, since it's obviously very broad as such but I like the idea of being required to take someone from the older eras.

A similar but different idea I know I've mentioned before is The Old Stars Modern Role Players Draft, which I haven't ironed out the exact details of but something where only 80s and earlier stars are available and 90s (or 00s) on you can only take non all-nba players or something. I think that'd be a really fun draft just have to figure out how to structure it.

Was there a "no all defense" draft? This is my first FGA draft and I see that a really common approach here to deal with this limitation is to pick all defense guys. Might be interesting to see how it rolls with that being not an option. It also affects the main guys of course.
