New Rule Vote - Drafting of CPU controlled teams

[NetsGM]

Select Yes if you think this proposal as written should be adopted.

Select No if you think the CPU should always draft, period (a revision won't make it right).

Select 'Needs revision' if you think someone should draft for CPU controlled teams, but not in the context of how it's written, or if you think this rule should be implemented, but not until the 2023 draft (please respond saying that).

50% vote is needed for the new rule to be implemented.  If 50% vote no, then we won't create a new draft.

Reasoning:
If a team is CPU controlled for the draft portion of the season, a committee will draft for that team rather than the CPU.  Typically, a team that is CPU controlled is a bad team, and will have a high draft pick.  Since this draft pick will reshape the future of the team, we want to ensure that the fate of the team is not decided by a computer's bad draft pick.  In the 2021 draft, the CPU essentially got nothing out of the 2nd pick in the draft in which it could have had Michael Jordan, John Stockton or Charles Barkley.  Doing so makes it harder to find a GM, and hurts the league (IMO).

Committee Composition
The committee will include 3 people, who are obtained in the following manner.
- If there are people in the opposing conference that do not have a 1st round draft pick, they will be asked to be a part of the committee.
- Depending on how many more people are needed to total 3, PistonsGM, PacersGM, and HawksGM will be used to finish the committee.

How the committee decides the pick
Each committee member will submit a draft list for each draft pick the team(s) owns.  Each draftee will get a value of 1-10 depending on where (in relation to order) they are in that members draft list.  i.e.:
PistonsGM list:
- Michael Jordan
- Hakeem Olajuwon
- John Stockton

Pacers List:
- Hakeem
- Stockton
- Jordan

Hawks list:
- Jordan
- Stockton
- Hakeem

For this list, Michael would get a value of 1, 3, 1 for a total of 4.  Hakeem a value of 2, 1, 3 for a total of 6.  Stockton a value of 3, 2, 2 for a total of 7.  The list for that team would then be ordered based on total, lowest to highest.  So Michael would be the first player in the draft list, Hakeem second, and Stockton third.

In the case of a tie, the person who was listed higher the most gets the tiebreaker (in this scenario, if Hakeem and Stockton tied, Hakeem would be higher in the draft list because he was listed higher in 2 out of 3 draft lists.  Since there's an odd # of committee members, this will never be ambiguous).

This proposal, if accepted, would be implemented immediately before the 2022 draft.

If this helps draft better for the CPU controlled team, and helps attract more, active gm's, which I suspect it could, then I'm all for it.

I did give consideration to selecting "needs revision" to start this in 2023, but decided against it since it's much more fun to read Ivan's tirades

That's fine, I don't think we should put it into place until next year though.

[NetsGM]

did you vote that way?

[BullsGM3]

I didn't put a vote in yet because I'm not sure which option my opinion goes under.

NM figured it out.

[WizardsGM]

Definitely voted "for"

[BullsGM3]

Is the "committee" allowed to look at the players' true potentials before they make their picks?

[KingsGM-old]

Is the "committee" allowed to look at the players' true potentials before they make their picks?

Pretty good question.

[NetsGM]

No.

[BullsGM3]

Good
