I propose adjusting the manner in which we the league announce and decide which rookie draft class is selected in a given year. The main purpose of this change is to add back an element of the unknown to the value of a given draft pick, since the order is no longer a mystery.
It is also not a solution that could be applied to the real world, so what better a place than TMBSL.
Draft classes are only revealed 3 years into the future.
Following the trade deadline for a given year, the draft class lottery will commence. 1 of the 3 draft classes will be selected via the lottery to be drafted the following off season.
At the completion of the draft, the following year's draft class will be revealed. That class is then entered into the lottery for the following year.
In example, in the 2025 season, the available draft classes were 92, 88 & 81. 88 was selected via lottery following the 2025 trade deadline. Following the 2026 Draft ('88 Class), the '64 class was revealed to be the next in line.
In the 2026 season, the available draft classes were 92, 81 & 64. 64 was selected via lottery following the 2026 trade deadline. Following the 2027 Draft ('64 Class), the '84 class was revealed to be the next in line. And so on, and so forth.
This prevents extreme spikes in value to the 1st overall pick, several years before a known pick is available. Something that never happened prior to wheel, the picks were always perceived value based on class year and team performance, yet still were subject to lottery to become the actual pick 1.1.
We need to reinstall some of this unknown value back into the trade market IMO.

I really like this idea.
Keeps a little intrigue while also keeping the fixed value of the draft slot.

i don't think it really changes the proposal that dramatically but just in case it changes anyone's mind: if we do implement this we will have three year blocs the current year of which will be revealed after trading deadline
so if we have 92 88 and 81, some order of those three will take place over the next three seasons
if 88 is revealed first, then one of 92 or 81 will be the next year's class
this means that every third year people will know what the draft class will be two years in advance, but i really don't like the idea of a draft class potentially getting delayed the way the 92 class is in the OP
.
we also discussed it in shout but in case anyone wasn't around, it is not feasible from a commissioner standpoint to build a draft class starting sim 11, so one year same year reveals are off the table

I think it does actually, because that would give a team with 1.1 that 3rd year an advantage the previous 2 did not.

I think people are overstating the ability to glean information from a draft based on the names of real life players in it.

I think people are overstating the ability to glean information from a draft based on the names of real life players in it. I mean there are clear correlations. Maybe not with every single one but the big names for the most part have hit.

I'm really going back and forth on this. TBH, I feel like I'm enjoying the lack of mystery because it's boosting the trade market big time.
No change for now, but I could be convinced.

Looks like we landed on No here? correct Almost 50/50 though, seems like there is interest in a slight change. Could we at least discuss bringing back declarations? So a guy like lbj or shaq is likely but not 100%? |
