How to Play Draft Duel
- 1
Each round, a random NBA team and decade are drawn — for example the 1990s San Antonio Spurs or the 1980s Showtime Lakers. You see that team’s players from that era, with their per-game stats (PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, BPG).
- 2
Pick a player and place them in an eligible court slot — PG, SG, SF, PF, or C. A player can only fill slots that match their listed position(s), so a center can’t play point guard. Five rounds, five picks, one complete starting five. You get 3 team rerolls and 3 era rerolls.
- 3
Before you draft, you pick a Hall of Fame opponent — from beatable squads up to the legend tier. Once your five is set, the match is decided by five positional duels — your PG vs theirs, your C vs theirs, and so on. Each slot is scored by the stats that matter most at that position: playmaking for guards, rebounding and rim protection for bigs.

Win the majority of the five duels to win the match. Beat the Hall of Fame squads, keep your win streak alive, and prove you can out-draft anyone.
About Draft Duel
Draft Duel is a draft-lottery showdown. Every game gives you the same five spins as your opponent would, so it is a pure test of who drafts better from identical constraints — not just who pulled the luckiest teams.
Each position rewards a different stat identity. Point guards live on assists, steals, and scoring; shooting guards on buckets and perimeter defense; power forwards and centers on rebounding and blocks. Drafting a balanced, position-aware five beats hoarding scorers.
Hall of Fame opponents span the eras — from the Showtime Lakers and the Bad Boy Pistons to a Mount Rushmore of all-time greats. Easy squads are beatable with a smart draft; the legend tier is a wall. How far can your streak go?
