Harry Potter Themed Basketball GM

I've been toying with the idea of setting up a multi-team solitaire in Basketball GM with the Harry Potter teams I made for the game.

The rosters are randomly generated, but I am doing a redraft of all players with each team having restrictions and/or tendencies on who they can pick. I figured it might be a fun way to get some narratives and story ideas flowing.

The player names are drawn from a list of harry potter first and last names so there are a lot of similar named players to Harry Potter characters.

Team Groups


Student Teams


These teams stick to players 25 & under, and largely don't resign free agents unless they are still very young. 

Gryffindor Lions
Slytherin Serpents
Ravenclaw Eagles
Hufflepuff Badgers
Beauxbatons Veelas
Durmstrang Wizards
Ilvermorny Crows
Castelobruxo Caipora
Koldovstoretz Flying Trees
Mahoutokoro Petrels
Uagadou Mountains
Salem Witches
Broom Flying Academy
Euro-Glyph Languages

Professors

The Hogwarts Professors are in the Student division, but they are different. They try to keep their roster the same as much as they can from year to year, and prefer to sign players from the student teams, especially, the Hogwarts student teams.

Hogwarts Professors

Ministry

These teams are unrestricted as far as players. They don't raise up prospects much, but prefer to let the schools do that and then sign them in free agency.

Auror Elites
Mysterious Unspeakables
Muggle Artefact Investigators
Magical Creatures Caretakers

Quidditch Teams

These teams have a "Seeker" who is the best on the team, some Beaters, bigger guys and the chasers.

Chudley Cannons
Puddlemere United
Appleby Arrows
Ireland Shamrocks
Bulgarian Fire

Magical Creatures

These teams each have their own niche based on their nature.

Goblin Bankers - Team is structured to make tons of money each year.
Centaur Augerers - Pursues luck in the draft / picking prospects that have high potential but lower overall.
House Elf Socks - Prefers shorter players
Troll Clubs - Prefers big guys
Dragon Inferno - They either rampage the world, and go all out to sign the best and take the championship, or stay with their treasure and save money and hope for stardom in the draft. Boom or Bust, no in between,


Wizengamot

The Wizengamot is another special case. They prefer to sign older players whenever possible, and trade for older players from other teams looking to get rid of their declining old players.
