The Disaster Draft? What If 5+ Players Died on One Team? Part 2
In Part 1 of the Disaster Draft I explained all the rules, created a storyline and, went over every teams protected and unprotected players here is the link if you haven’t read it yet I suggest you read it before reading this. Let’s get into it!
Out of the 2 teams drafting (Cleveland and Miami), Miami get’s the 1st pick in the 13 round draft because there record was worse when the disaster happened. Let’s get into both teams big boards.
Miami Heat Big Board:
Jeremy Lin- Hawks
Marcus Morris- Celtics
Terry Rozier- Celtics
Frank Kaminsky- Hornets
Jabari Parker- Bulls
Dwight Powell- Mavericks
Isaiah Thomas- Nuggets
Demarcus Cousins- Warriors
PJ Tucker- Rockets
Thaddeus Young- Pacers
Patrick Beverley- Clippers
Avery Bradley- Clippers
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope- Lakers
Rajon Rondo- Lakers
Jimmy Butler- Timberwolves
Enes Kanter- Knicks
Nerlens Noel- Thunder
Andre Roberson- Thunder
Terrence Ross- Magic
Robert Covington- 76ers
Ryan Anderson- Suns
Trevor Ariza- Suns
Al-Farouq Aminu- Trail Blazers
Bogdan Bogdanovic- Kings
Zach Randolph- Kings
Pau Gasol- Spurs
Greg Monroe- Raptors
Jae Crowder- Jazz
Markieff Morris- Wizards
The obvious approach for the Miami Heat is to build a big team and stay away from young assets. If the Cavaliers pass up on Demarcus Cousins or Jimmy Butler at #2 the Heat could have a dynasty. If they resign which will be one of the big questions as both of them are on 1 year deals.
Cleveland Cavaliers Big Board:
Tyler Dorsey- Hawks
Terry Rozier- Celtics
Frank Kaminsky- Hornets
Dwayne Bacon- Hornets
Chandler Hutchinson- Bulls
Jabari Parker- Bulls
Denzel Valentine- Bulls
Dwight Powell- Mavericks
Will Barton- Nuggets
Trey Lyles- Nuggets
Henry Ellenson- Pistons
Quinn Cook- Warriors
Isaiah Hartenstein- Rockets
TJ Leaf- Pacers
Moritz Wagner- Lakers
Ivan Rabb- Grizzlies
Trevon Duval- Bucks
Justin Patton- Timberwolves
Allonzo Trier- Knicks
Wes Iwundu- Magic
Dragan Bender- Suns
Gary Trent Jr.- Trail Blazers
Harry Giles- Kings
Bogdan Bogdanovic- Kings
Lonnie Walker IV- Spurs
Derrick White- Spurs
OG Anunoby- Raptors
Grayson Allen- Jazz
Tony Bradley- Jazz
The Cavaliers Big Board looks promising but a lot of the guys will be hard to select. Let’s say for example Jimmy Butler is selected no other Timberwolves player can be selected, that rule could be a big blow for both teams.
It is finally time to start the draft. Here are some key draft rules. There will be no trading aloud, not aloud to move players or picks during the draft. Only one player from each team can be selected. Miami Heat are going to kick this off with their 1st pick. Let’s Get Into It!

The Heat have a championship roster going for them and if they can resign Jimmy Butler and Demarcus Cousins this could be a dynasty! The Cavaliers are missing big man but are in great position to tank for Zion Williamson.
