How to Build a Balanced Basketball Roster
Balance is coverage, not averages. The team-level jobs every lineup has to cover, why overlap wastes picks, and how minutes turn depth into a real constraint.

About this app
Basketball Draft GM Franchise starts at the draft board. You build a roster from the available pool, weigh value against fit, and put together a lineup that works as a unit rather than a list of high ratings. Balance and depth carry more weight here than any single marquee pick.
Once the roster is set, the season runs to 82 games. You follow the results, manage rotations, handle contracts and trades, and push for a playoff spot with the front-office decisions that come with it. The simulation is the verdict on how your team-building held up over a long year.
Eight draft formats change the constraints. Unlimited Draft, Quick Draft, Blind Draft, Franchise Draft, Salary Cap Draft, VS Computer, Battle Mode and a Daily Challenge each ask for a different plan, so a roster that dominates one format can fall apart in the next. Finished drafts can be compared and shared, which is where the replay value lives.
