JBURGE Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Mid-Season Break 28-28 at the trade deadline, worse than last year with a markedly better team, the joys of sim. I waas checking the standings, and the Spurs are a really good team now. I didn't even realize that it was the Spurs that drafted Jayden McGee last year to go along with McCleod, they have a dominant front court. McGee is already 87 in his 2nd season (still 19 years old) and McCleod is 93 and is only 24 years old. 2029 DRAFT PROSPECTS NAME SCHOOL AGE OVR POT BADGE HT WS WT INS MID 3PT INS D PER D PLAY REB IQ PHY PLAYER COMP CEILING / FLOOR 1 PG STEPHON JAMES ROMANIA 21 76 C+ 7 6'2 6'4 201 B A- A- D+ A B+ C C A- DON BUSE STARTER 2 C DALE NELSON NIGERIA 20 C+ C+ ? 7'2 7'6 266 C+ A- D+ A- F D A+ C C- DEANDRE AYTON STARTER 3 PF JASON SIMON MICHIGAN STATE 20 77 A+ 2 6'10 7'1 253 B C+ C B+ C- C B+ B+ A- TIM DUNCAN HOF / STARTER 4 C LOREN RAY NEBRASKA 20 77 B- 6 6'9 7'0 234 A C+ D+ A D- C- B B- D+ WILLIS REED ALL-NBA / STARTER 5 C CARLTON BARRY EVANSVILLE 19 77 B+ 3 7'1 7'4 259 B+ B+ C- A D- C- B+ B C+ MYLES TURNER STARTER 6 C STEVEN CAMERON OHIO STATE 21 77 A 7 7'2 7'5 269 D+ D D A+ D+ D A+ C+ C RUDY GOBERT ALL-NBA / STARTER 7 C MARION WEBBER [WICHITA STATE 22 78 B+ 1 7'4 7'8 234 B+ B D B D+ D+ A- B C+ BAM ADEBAYO ALL-STAR / STARTER 8 SG GIOVENCO MANE ITALY 21 75 B_ 5 6'4 6'9 209 C A B- D+ C B- C- C+ B+ CJ MCCOLLUM ALL-STAR / STARTER 9 SF PETAR PETROVIC CROATIA 20 77 B_ 0 6'8 6'10 202 B C C+ C+ D+ C C- C- B ALEX ENGLISH ALL-NBA / STARTER 10 PG REED HAMMONDS NEW MEXICO 23 78 B- 4 6'0 6'1 176 A C+ A- C+ A- B+ C B+ A- AARON MCKIE STARTER A more modest class than the last couple years, but still one gem in Jason Simon. My own pick and the Kings 1st are both looking to be out of the lottery, so I will be on the outside looking in this time.

This is a fair result considering the season, but sad considering we were much better last year with a worse roster. The Lakers won the NBA Championship over the Indiana Pacers. Jayson Tatum was the Finals MVP, his 2nd of this franchise.
