Say we want to use 33, 36, 37, 44 , 54, 69 and 72 to draft Mills and Dunks. Does that mean that we need 7 vacancies on our senior list to do so? When do we elevate rookies? I can't see how that works as the situation on the night can see us use anywhere between 2 and 7 picks which leaves 5 picks or players hanging. Wouldn't that mean that we have to make rookie elevations and final draft choices on the fly, so to speak? How can this be done, planning wise, regarding salary cap?
Something doesn't make sense here. Usually clubs enter the draft know exactly how many picks they will use in both the main and rookie drafts, but this cannot be done with new bidding system.
If we enter the draft with a senior list of 33 in order to come to the draft with 7 picks, then we use all 7 for 2 picks, we have to make us at least 3 senior spots with rookie elevations, because we wouldn't have any additional draft picks available even to pick players if we wanted to. So that forces us to carry at least 3 rookies over just to be available for elevation on draft night. Then we would have to fill 6 rookie spots 3 days later as well as give senior contracts to 3 elevated rookies. What am I missing here?
