So those of you like me can start looking towads next years draft already

[LakersGM-old]

so there isnt a way to import draft classes?

[NetsGM]

There is, but we're going completely computer generated.

[LakersGM-old]

Ok, just asking cuz its so confusing not knowing any of these guys.

its so confusing not knowing any of these guys.

Trust me, it's better.  This isn't meant to simulate the real league but to simulate running a team for a league.  Not using real players forces you to look at ratings rather than names.  Which is a good thing.  In previous years we have done importing a file, 2 things have happened:
1) People bitch and moan because this guy and that guy isn't like they are in real life.  Meanwhile, it's impossible to get everybody happy, and very time consuming.
2) People draft based on how the players are in real life, not how they are rated in this game.  I've seen Devin Harris go top 5.  Why?  Because of his name.  He was rated as C's across, the board, including potential.
3) A small issue of time.  we sim 7-12 years in the time the NBA does 1.  So, we'd be at around 2012 draft before the real nba got up to the 2005 draft.  Talk about a problem.

[LakersGM-old]

Ok NP.

If I get the first pick I'm taking this guy:

Tell me he's not a player to build a team around.

[LakersGM-old]

Haha He blows but he sure is as loyal as mans best friend.

[LakersGM-old]

Im already ready for the draft, I get my top 6 choices at each position staked out already.

I noticed this earlier: draft picks' hometowns list specific teams.  Any reason for this, or is just some kind of anomaly?  This guy's hometown says "Knicks"; does this mean that's where he'd like to play?

[NetsGM]

I think it might affect his loyalty.  As in if the Knicks offered him a contract he'd be "loyal" even though they're not his previous team.

[RaptorsGM]

Man, I CAN'T wait for the draft. I'm just taking this year to give my young guys lots of touches.

[HornetsGM]

WOW, there are some serious big men prospects in this draft  

[NetsGM]

Yeah, there are a couple.

Only 1 or 2 pf's but a ton of c's.
