Draft the highest-impact lineup.
Five rounds, one pick each. The players' scores are hidden — just pick the one you think had the biggest impact, five times, to build your lineup.
You'll see a board of players from one 5-year window — names and faces, no scores. Trust your gut, pick the one you think had the biggest impact, and we'll reveal his real number. Five rounds, five players, one lineup.
- Redeal: Don't like these players? Get a fresh batch from the same window.
- Position: Narrow the board to one position you pick.
- Double Dip: Grab two players from the same round.
- Reveal: Peek at a player's offense, defense, and total before you lock in.
- Jump window: Want different players? Jump to a new 5-year window.
Your five picks set the base score, then bonuses stack on top: +3 for a full PG-SG-SF-PF-C lineup, up to +2 for balanced offense and defense, and a +4 Lockdown bonus for a defense over +11. A lopsided roster drags it down.
It's a measure of how much better a team played with that player on the floor — the points per 100 possessions he added (or cost them) over a 5-year stretch, after adjusting for his teammates and opponents. Higher is better, and it's the number you're trying to guess on every pick.
