If you're wondering how the re-draft worked, wonder no longer.
Once all 30 participants had selected which teams they would control, a random number generator determined the order of the draft.
The 13 rounds proceeded in a snake format. For those of you unfamiliar with fantasy lingo, that means the 30th team in the first round picked first in the second round. Essentially, the draft order snakes back and forth to allow for a more even playing field.
The 30 of us selected 13-man rosters (12 players and a coach), keeping a few things in mind:
We were only concerned with the 2014-15 season, so how these players develop in the future is completely and utterly irrelevant. A player is only as good as he'll be during the next campaign.
Team fit does matter, especially when thinking about the coach. The players selected should be able to work well together, and playing styles should not clash.
Injuries—like Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose's knees, as well as Paul George's leg*—are automatically healed for the start of the season. However, injury-prone players do remain injury-prone.
We can form whatever type of team we wanted. If someone wanted five centers in his starting lineup, well then, that was his prerogative.
Players are only eligible if they're going to play in the NBA next season. Foreign players, collegiate athletes and retired stars are not available to be selected.
These are the results of the first round, from pick No. 1 to pick No. 30.
