All players start as rookies and progress throughout their career simultaneously.
You draft Magic Johnson. You use 79-80 Magic Johnson for the first season,.
You use 80-81 Magic Johnson in the second season.
If a player misses a season (Michael Jordan 93-94), his team places him on IR for that season.
All other drafts will be in reverse order of finish with a lottery determining the first three positions.
Order of the top three picks will be determined by the NY Lottery system as used by most draft leagues.
If a player is cut, he joins the veteran cut list. If he is selected, he continues with his next season.
For example, 69-70 Spencer Haywood was cut after the first season of version 1.0 of this league.
He was drafted, so his new team used 70-71 Spencer Haywood.
If Haywood had gone undrafted when he was on the veterans list, he would return to the rookie pool in the next draft.
If a player runs out of seasons in the database, (Brandon Roy with two seasons), he returns to the database as a rookie.
This league has run 15 seasons in its two previous versions.
