 Anybody else not able to search on the site? I’m trying to add a few players to my mock draft, but keep getting the message "Search is temporarily unavailable. If the problem persists, please contact the site administrator." Hoping to get this fixed soon cause this is the time of year where players can really start to climb up draft boards.

 I cant even make a mock draft because the site has no mobile version of phones or tablets. This sites stuck in 2004.

As someone who makes a majority of the sites player profiles (at least the part with basic player info, height, weight, hopefully birthdates, etc.), it has been really difficult not having a good site search engine. They were working on making the search more effective two years ago, though they never followed through on the project. It is really hard to look up players, nearly impossible to look up posts and thus, really difficult to properly organize the site database, much less add players to Mock Drafts.

All I can give you are tips for looking up players, because I am pretty sure we would have the guys you would be looking for. One method is Google’ing the player and typing "NBADraft.net" after their name. However, since the site search is rarely updated, that may not do the trick. In that case, type in this:

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/firstname-lastname

With of course, the players firstname and lastname replacing the last two slots. If they have three names (ie. Abdul Malik Abu, Nigel Williams-Goss), than just add an additional "-" with that name. Note that we rarely have "Jr.", "II" or "III" after a players name unless they had a father play in the NBA.

Hope this at least helps. If you see any players that do not have profiles that you feel should, hit me up on my site e-mail, will give you link to my latest article. Also, will try to check this thread and if you give me a list of names, will post some links on here if you are having trouble finding them. Hope you guys are ready for the upcoming weeks of Madness!

 Thanks Mikey!!! Hoping the search function gets up and running again soon, but your tip worked so I was able to add some new players to the mock
