Training Camp Hopes and Dreams

[PacersGM]

short recap of my TC:

Jamaal Magloire -1 inside and rebounding rebounding hurt a little but he is still good enough for 13 and 10
Jason Collier -1 handles
Jeff Foster -1 inside
Jermaine O'Neal -1 outside
Blake Monroe +1 def and is now A pot he will get his chance this year
Ron Artest -1 handles
Randy Molina +1 pot
Shawn Marion -1 handles great that he kept his def
Rocky Elliott +1 inside and outside still an a pot he will be my starter this year
Derek Fisher +1 outside and -1 reb

i didn´t expect anyone to improve other than rocky. so i am very pleased that my big 3 stayed the same.

[ClippersGM-old]

Chandler: -1 inside, -1 potential
Brown: +1 inside, -1 potential
Blount:-1 handling, -1 defense, -1 potential
Brand: +1 defense
Childress: +1 potential
Black: same
Maggette: -1 potential
House: same
Gordon: +1 handling
James: -1 defense, -1 potential
Fox: -1 defense
McCracken: -1 inside, -1 defense
Bee: +1 outside
Holston: -1 outside, -1 defense, +1 potential
THurmond: -1 outside, -1 defense

-15/+6 = -9

So not a great TC, but after all, the important players did good. So not much to worry about. Gordon is becoming more and more the point guard that I need. Brand's defense got up again! And Brown will be a tremendous inside scorer next to the scoring of Brand and Gordon!

[CelticsGM]

Interesting TC for the Celtics. Overall i'd give it a B-

the big men:
Thomas lost inside and defense, gained pot
Duncan lost outside, won inside and handling
Booth lost rebounding and gained pot
Gasol is history
Stromile won rebounds lost pot
Strong as expected won pot (and improved big time, believe me, but not enough to get a ratings gain)
Evan Lo won outside and lost inside and will have a hard time cracking the rotation

backcourt:
Lenard lost defense but stayed the same otherwise
Jefferson is a mystery gaining on inside, handling and pot
Ginobili lost defense but gained both scoring ratings and pot
Tower won outside, lost pot
Billups lost inside, handling and defense
Alan Reed is notw an A handling PG
Otto Perry will give Reed a run for backup PG improving outside, handling and rebounding

Escamilla, Deandre, Shubert who cares now, they are looooongterm projects

one last thought:
because a guy lost or won a rating can mean he went from 75 defense to 74 or vice versa (or he could have went from 84 to 65). Billups for example improved 3 ratings last TC without a change to his stats (stayed at 48%, 8reb, 3to and 1.25pps, just took a little more shots), so i'm not really worried he lost exactly those 3 categories now

So don't take these ratings too seriously now, let them perform on the court first ...

Droped in EVERY god damn category!

[RaptorsGM]

C's I love how you say your guys "won" their rating gains

[CelticsGM]

C's I love how you say your guys "won" their rating gains

well, in the german language, "gained" and "won" can be used as synonyms.

but on the other hand, isn't FBB more or less a lottery system when it comes to TC changing ratings ?
