I’d be curious to see a series with the Mellochills. It might go 6 or 7 games.

@Elizah Huge is up
There's still a center out there that qualifies for this parade.
Carlos Arroyo
I have to draft a pg and my options are some old players that most of us have never seen, a current player who was bad, but I actually like, and players who have been drafted in the best jazz players of all time draft.
I guess I'll go with a bit of NBA history and select Duck Williams.
WIth a nickname like Duck, you would think there would be more about this guy, but basically all I can find is that he played for Notre Dame, was selected in the 5th round of the draft, played 23mpg for the Jazz in 1979. Scored 6.6pts, 2.4ast in those 23 minutes, and then was out of the league. In his one season he had a net rating of -20 and a BPM of -4.0.

I swear some of these players are made up. Duck Williams?
When I run this next year it will be much better with better rules so we have more modern players to choose from.

It's too bad that Nick "Goose" Bradshaw is ineligible.

There were so many players that I remember that I cooked up in my head that I wanted to draft but they ended up ineligible. I’ve never been more bummed out. Lol

Thoughts on running this for an all-NBA Crap Team? Change the minimum minutes played maybe.
I'm not sure this is an every year type of draft, but yeah, I really wanted to pick Svi who's at like 750 minutes right now.
Good idea, and like @SoberasHotRod said, this probably won't be a fun Jazz only exercise to run every year
More rule suggestions for future drafts that most will hate, but I think would be fun:
- Every team has to have a current NBA player. Someone who played or is currently playing for the Jazz and was on an NBA roster as of the previous season.
- Every team has to have one player that most posters have never seen. In other words a guy who played pre 90's. I know Cy is kind of trying to avoid this, but it was actually kind of fun to look at the list of players who met the minutes criteria and look up guys I've never heard of or never saw play.
- 700 minutes is kind of a random minutes criteria, but looking at the list, this is what I would recommend.

I don’t hate the minimum minutes played rule overall, but I could see adding an exception so you could take one player for each team that is under the 1,000 minutes rule - no minimum for that one guy on each team. Opens up a wide range of possible teams.
