Here's an idea. Not sure if mixed drafts are in consideration for V3, but here we go:
- The amount of teams decides the time span of the league. Let's say 28 teams = 28 draft classes and we start from 1992.
- Whenever you need to come up with a draft class, you list all years (1992, 1993, 1994...) and click random to get a randomized list of years.
- let's say the list looks like this: 1. 2001 2. 1994 3. 1997 4. 2008 5. 2002 6. 1993 7. 2017 8. 2005 9. 2010 10. 1998 ... and so on ...
- Finally the draft class of 1993 would look like this:
1. Kwame Brown (1st in 2001) 2. Jason Kidd (2nd in 1994) 3. Chauncey Billups (3rd in 1997) 4. Russell Westbrook (4th in 2008) 5. Nikoloz Tskitishvili (5th in 2002) 6. Calbert Cheaney (6th in 1993) 7. Lauri Markkanen (7th in 2017) 8. Channing Frye (8th in 2005) 9. Gordon Hayward (9th in 2010) 10. Paul Pierce (10th in 1998) ... and so on ...
I know we briefly had tried mixing players, but the main problem was that majority wasn't feeling players from 50s or 60s with zero outside game? Anyway... Just throwing this idea on the table.
p.s. Only draft class is created purely by random, GM still has his right to draft whatever he wants, lottery still goes down as it does right now.
p.p.s. Generated draft class could be possibly revealed after Trade Deadline.

I think that’s a great solution once we get to like... 2022 or something.
Personally I’ve always enjoyed chronological draft classes with some randomization (Boban being the GOAT)

That idea sounds crazy.
And I like it.

Probably main take from this is that you never know what's going to be out there (especially if you announce upcoming class after Trade Deadline) and when's the best way to start tanking.
Lets say you expect LeBron to be in the draft, but Bargnani takes his spot.. The class could be 🔥 or 💩.

I like how this sounds too, I'm always down for a reasonable bit of unpredictability

Not that I've drafted much in this league (usually have traded them), but I would not be interested at all in this.
