Mock - Rookie Lottery

OK, couldn't sleep so I decided I would mock it up right here and now...
All 13 JBL teams are in a hat and I am going to reverse draw - just for fun! Here we go...

The JBL team with the #13 rookie selection is...

13. Idaho - go figure kid. Good thing this is just for fun. But maybe getting a rookie for $1 buck isn't such a bad thing.

The 12th pick goes to...

12. Juan de Fuca - the 3 headed monster might need more than 24 hours to decide what to do here.

The 11th pick goes to...

11. Bangkok - knowing Rick he would like this spot because it gets him a potential $3 dollar gem. And Rick is known for drafting good rookies...

The 10th pick goes to...

10. Arctic - a $4 rookie is something I'm sure the Jerks would welcome onto their already stacked JBL roster.

The 9th pick goes to...

9. French Lick - French is another team that could benefit from a $5 dollar rookie blue-chip prospect.

The 8th pick goes to....

8. Maui - more homework for Trev to do prior to the JBL draft? A possible 'pass' could occur here.

The 7th pick goes to....

7. Golden - A solid rookie for $7 bucks would be a nice addition to the Golden squad.

The 6th pick goes to...

6. Brussels - Timmy pulls into the $10 rookie hole - would he pick or pass?

The 5th pick goes to...

5. Seoul - this is the proposed $12 dollar rookie slot. I'm sure Woo would be more than happy to role the dice on a pick here.

The 4th pick goes to....

4. Belgrade - our last place team, with no current keepers, would be able to land a $14 dollar rookie if he wanted. But in the current draft class - who is the right pick?

Our final 3 teams in the rookie lottery are Yuma, Manhattan Beach and the 'Wack...moving on to the 3rd pick...

3. Chilliwack - a rookie for $16 bucks? I'm sure Benny pulls the trigger here...

The 2nd pick goes to...

2. Manhattan Beach - runner up is like kissing your sister...

And in the 1st ever mock rookie draft order the #1 pick goes to Yuma...and he would get to make the tough decision on whether he thought Kyrie Irving was the best fantasy rookie available and secondly if he was worth the $20 dollar JBL price tag...

So, to recap, here is our mock rookie draft order....and one of the proposed salary structures for each rookie draft pick.

1. Yuma $20
2. Manhattan $18
3. Chilliwack $16
4. Belgrade $14
5. Seoul $12
6. Brussels $10
7. Golden $7
8. Maui $6
9. French Lick $5
10. Arctic $4
11. Bangkok $3
12. Juan de Fuca $2
13. Idaho $1


One more thing to consider now that I've done this mock lottery. Could a JBL team trade their rookie pick for someone else's rookie pick? For example, maybe Yuma doesn't want the #1 pick because he doesn't feel any rookie in this years' draft class is worth the $20 JBL salary. And maybe Bangkok, at #11, likes the rookie class and would be willing to pay a rookie $20 bucks. Could Yuma trade his #1 rookie pick to Bangkok for his #11 spot? I think the answer should be 'YES'. It's simple. It doesn't involve any NBA players and it's easy to administer.

Where it could get more complicated is say that Yuma wants to move out of the #1 spot and Bangkok is offering the #11 pick and a player from his keeper roster (remember, after Oct 1st, all JBL rosters will be reduced to the maximum number of potential keepers per team). In Bangkok's case, he would only have 4 players on his roster. Should this pick for pick&player trade be allowed? That's a debate for another time...

Up next...my rookie mock draft using the JBL mock lottery order above...

Night all...
