2022 Annual Jazzfanz All Time NBA Draft

[Miggs]

As I understand it, we pick by decade drafted so I could not have Magic and Larry in my same top 5 picks. But I could select Magic and Hakeem even if I choose as their peak years 1990-91 and 1994-95 respectively.

Magic and Larry were different eras actually.

Magic and Larry were different eras actually.

Both of their draft years are the 70’s. Either would satisfy the 70’s and earlier requirement.

You are right! I’m at a Dali museum in Saint Petersburg Florida and replying off the top of my head. 79 vs 80 drafts if memory serves. I stand corrected, thanks for clearing the cobwebs for me.

So I'm confused about the years gimmick. So are we picking a player based on the era they were drafted in or picking the player from their best year?

Their draft year addresses the era/decade criterion, but you choose the specific season of theirs you would like them to be for the competition.

The primary reason for this is to beef up the options for the legacy (70’s and earlier) pool of players.

‘78 and ‘79 for the record.

Oh snap you’re right. Magic was drafted in 1979.

Wait, the starters have to be the first five picks? Was this specified earlier?

It was. Not sure if it’s posted in the rules but it was definitely mentioned. Frankly, I’m not sure why that has to be the case.

Yikes. I do not endorse this at all.
