Set the challenge
Choose the classic season, salary cap, historic matchup or daily run. Classic gives the widest player pool; salary cap makes every contract part of the puzzle.
Draft by position
The board opens at point guard and moves through shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Each offer disappears after the pick, so plan for the roles still open.
- Keep at least one primary creator.
- Protect the rim without sacrificing spacing.
- Use salary on scarce skills, not names alone.
Choose a basketball identity
Coach and tactical model modify the same five in different ways. A motion offense rewards passing and chemistry; a defensive system raises the floor of a physical lineup.
