Yeah I have, and I also drafted 3 SGs. Either way I already simmed out the season and will see how he developed and how this draft goes before deciding if I will move him or not.

Tyrone McCleod the one HOF worthy prospect - he has great size, passable quickness (53 LQUI and 70 SPD), and is a solid starter right away. He has solid badges (Dream Shake, Fast Twitch, Masher, Rise Up, Slithery) so he can hopefully score inside. This game is always seemingly full of good centers, but this is the clear #1. Raymond Simpson is also a great player loaded with badges. He is a little undersized and has mediocre potential, so will probably not end up being the best of these PGs, but he will start off as one. He is a great shooter right away. I don't really like either PGs Carney and Underwood as prospects - both will need years to be able to score, and they're both weak playmakers. They have 5 and 8 badges, but most of them are on defense. I don't really care about about defense first for Points. Keon Webber is a bit of a weird prospect, I'm not sure why he's a 78. He is pretty mediocre across the board, but if young and has A potential. He starts out as an average defender at least, but SF Erik Caldwell just seems like a better prospect. He is a worse defender but has 4 shooting badges and is a similar athlete. Webber is a little bit faster and has 99 vert so he might end up a better inside scorer.

The rest of the guys are more prospects than I'd like, but I am sure the game will make my decision for me. Let's sim to my pick and see what choices I have. McCleod goes #1 to the Spurs. SF Keon Webber #2 to the Mavs. SF Erik Caldwell #3 to the Thunder, damn. I thought I was goign to get one of those 2. C Lamond Buford went #4, honestly I am not even really sure who that is. Could have been worse!

I am not in love with any of these guys, so really this is a projection for all of them. We have Simpson, who overall is the best athlete of the three and is most ready to start and score now. His B- potential blows though compated to A for the other two. He also has 5 shooting badges and 2 playmaking badges. Dusty and Lonnie are both 3 and D points, and most of their badges are in defense. Their offense is just bad. The only other player that interests me here is Griffith - he is a good scorer already and has 6 badges, all offensive. I just don't think I need to take another SG considering I drafted 3 last year unless he was clearly ahead of another position, which he isn't. I think I am going to go against one of my biggest preferences here and take a lower potential player. 1.5 / PG / Raymond Simpson He ended up being onlu 76, wow that blows. He does have B potential, so at least the scouts failed upwards there. Will have to check out the other two PGs to see how bad of a mistake I may have made. Lonnie Carney went 9th to the Rockets and he has C+ potential?????? Dusty went 13 to the Mavericks and has B+, so I feel pretty good now! Prettayyyyyy, prettttayyyy, prettttttay good.

JBURGE Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) It is not really worth posting the players available here, there honestly isn't much. I might end up moving some of these 2nd round picks, but I will pick both of these 1st rounders. 1.22 / PG / Trevor Perry 1.25 / PF / JD Pierce Not thrilled with either of these, but Perry has B+ potential and JD Pierce has B and is young. Perry has good potential to move to SG if he develops, with B+ mid range and A- 3P. Pierce had the highest vert in the draft at 41 inches an is already a decent defender. I don't know if he will play at all this year, but I have nothing at PF, so he might. 2.1 / SF / Dustin Cooper-Dyke Holy smokes, I hadn't fully scouted this guy but it said he had B+ potential and is only 18 so I took a shot. Well he blows, but he has A potential, so I might stash him for a couple years and see if he turns into anything. Might be a cheap bench player for a long time. Also, awesome name. I have 3 picks left, and honestly there isn't one player I want to draft. Let's try again in the future.

Love to see the growth of JD Turner, unfortunately every badge he gained was defensive. He will still be my 6th man this coming year. I think this does kind of kill the notion that Otis will be any good. No badges and a meager overall increase. He might b solid bench guy but isn't going to be someone I look to start in 2 years. I need to cut 2 players, and based on the progression and roster spots, I think I will get rid of PF Jim Slaughter and PG Delgado. Hopefully I can get a couple picks for them.

JBURGE Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 2024 Season There are still 0 CPU generated players in the top 25, so I don't see much of a point in posting them. I can go deeper into that once we have some fake people in there. I certainly have no players even close to top 25.

JBURGE Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Break I am sitting at 21-36, which is tied for 5th worst record... not exactly what I was expecting or hoping for. I own the Spurs and Grizzlies picks - Spurs have 25 wins, and the Grizzlies are an easy playoff team. Let's hope for a disaster second half of the season. Of course I had the Lakers pick last year and they are the worst team in the league. Edited July 7, 2023 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post the draft class at the mid year break but honestly it's so depressing I don't want to tonight anymore. I have the draft class quality set to 60, I will need to turn it up. Top player in this class is 78 ovr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
