WELCOME to the Hoop-Ball Reader Slow Mock Draft!

The Mock draft will be for a 12-man, 9-CAT, H2H League, Yahoo positions of (PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, 2 UTIL, 3 Bench) and will be participated in by a member of the Hoop Ball staff.

The draft will run from Tuesday to Thursday, September 11th to the 14th, every 6 PM to 9 PM (Pacific Time). Each day or session will be good for THREE draft rounds, except on Thursday, when we draft for rounds 10-13. That’s roughly an hour per round on average.

We want a committed group of drafters so that even if there is leeway as far time is concerned, an honor system will be implemented that you make your pick as soon as possible. To ensure that the drafting runs smoothly and to avoid hitches due to drafters incurring long delays in their picks, an auto-pick system (Yahoo! preseason rankings) will be applied by the moderator.

Pick order will be randomized and announced in the first session thread.
Picks are declared by copy-pasting the ongoing draft round in your reply and adding your pick to the list of selected players

Example:
Round 1
Team HoopBall Pick 1: Kevin Durant
Team Dallas Mavs Fan Pick 2: Russell Westbrook
Team Ankle Breakers Pick 3: Stephen Curry
Team Duncan Pick 4:

Each drafting session will get its own thread in the forum, just be sure to tick the box that says “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” so you are updated on the draft progress.

At the end of each session, the moderator will do a team update/recap so you can see the positions filled by your team.

Non-drafting readers are welcome to comment AFTER the session is over to avoid clutter in the thread.

So, if you are interested to draft against some fellow readers as well as a Hoop Ball expert sign-up by copy-pasting the sign-up list in your reply adding your name and team name to the queue. Since there are only 11 slots, they will be acknowledged on a first-reply, first-served basis; using our forum system as the timestamp.

This time around, as a big thank you to the early purchasers of the Draft Guide or Season Pass, we will be giving priority to our subs/buyers. Please indicate if you have purchased our draft guide, I guess by indicating the email address you used to register for it and I will get a verification from Bruski. Mock draft slots will be filled by the first 10-11 draft guide/season pass purchasers. If there are less than 10-11, then the remaining slots will be open for the first come, first served replies.
