theJ Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Oof, no wonder the Bucks wanted out of pick #2.Β Nicholson was obviously the Bell of the Ball, and the rest is not great.Β There's probably hope for some of those guys, if they get significant PT.Β They may see an OVR spike like Burke did. Meanwhile, i feel like i nailed my pick.Β Sherman may actually develop into a solid high 60's player at the back end of the roster. 2023-24 Draft Recap (Lottery Picks) Draft Pick Player Pos.

theJ Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 8 90+ ovr players in FA this year.Β Including the best player ever and future HOFer Ricky Rubio. Β EDIT: and i'm obviously sitting FA out, with my (negative) millions in cap space. I may consider signing a PG post FA if there's one there.

theJ Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Not seeing any great options.Β May be that i need to role with Dee Boyd, Mr. Tall guy Point Forward as the backup PG or something this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Training Camps Dee Boyd, Untapped Potential (74->84) Β I decided to do this one more time for my pet project (last time, i swear).Β Interesting thing to note is that his potential went up 2 points without me doing anything.Β After last year's camp his potential was 72.
