They are (except for #37 which is listed twice.). It’s a reverse snake draft. We get rewarded at the top of round one, but get shafted in round three to even it out.

I’d rather keep Harkless. Ainge’s ought to be churning the bottom of the roster all year long. Try to find a gem like Niang or O’Neal. Wonder what the deal is with Procida. I figured he’d for sure come over this year on a deal slightly better than what he can get in Europe. Sounds like he’s...

I feel like I’m about 50/50 on who I think hotttnickkk is going to pick.

I’d be interested in possibly trading up in front of Thee in round 2. ;)

Maybe, but this feels like an inevitable move that finally reached the point of inevitability. KJ Martin is probably in the same boat - although they might keep him until the trade deadline if they think his salary could be valuable.

Good luck gentlemen - @Strutter is on the clock

Made my first pick easy, but the rest of my strategy is already screwed up - oh well. Sorry for the delay. I just barely woke up. With the 1st overall pick in the 2025 Jazzfanz All Time Draft, Coach Ellis selects Michael Jordan - SG - 1984. 6× NBA champion (1991–1993, 1996–1998) 6× NBA...

I’m still high on Harper. SL is for wild overreactions, but Harper is a guy that looks great to me when I watch him. I’m just super impressed with the top 6 picks this year. Think it’ll go down as a great draft class down the road.

Quick question on this one - we’ve had years that have had a wild number of trades. If we’re all sticking to the “top six picks come from these six eras”, does that mean that trades need to follow those rules as well? For instance - let’s say I already drafted Michael Jordan as my 80’s era, and...

Collier had two great passes in that little highlight package. I sure hope he can figure out how to shoot. Anyways - Congrats Kyle. Glad the Jazz got the steal of that weak *** draft.

One idea to consider - you could lower the total minutes to 700 (which adds up to 23 more players to the mix) but limit each team to only one player under 1,000 minutes.

I know you said only 5 rounds, but I think a “playoff” rotation of 8 players - 5 starters and 3 backups would be appropriate. Totally up to Cy since this is your thing. . . but I’d be down for it.

I want to warn you now that even though we’re making these teams garbage, I’m only going to draft guys that were recognizable Jazz busts - even with the minimum minutes played threshold. Not sure if that’s what you’re going for, but that’s my game plan.

I’ll do it.
