BTW, this last draft is looking mighty good right now. 2 players who can really lead a team immediately (Keogan, Wells), some players that are nice as 2nd and 3rd options right now (Manning, Houbreg), and a couple players with some real skills and potential (Marion, and the steal of the draft, the Wizard's Paul Maggette)
A couple more sims will tell, but this past class is looking very good.

Well, I disagree with Manning looking good. He's basically SAR. I don't think I'd even start him with a C+ defense and C+ rebounding. As a #2 pick, a tremendous disappointment.
But if a #2 pick goes bad and a Marion or Maggette becomes very good, I'm more than willing to make that tradeoff.

I think his percentages will likely start going up next sim. Your right about being a disappointing 2nd pick, so far, but that was the risk. Great offense, bad defense, and C potential. What you see is most likely what you get. But Maggette looks real nice right now. With his after TC abilities, he would have been a top 5 pick, imo. |

Honestly, i dont see anyone as a #1 pick material. The draft is filled with guys with good ratings but low potential or mediocre ratings but good potenial. The draft lacks the ala garet petit or vince keogan material. Its filled with mediocre talents, and thats it. I hope people wont overrate it.

I do get some comfort in seeing that Ferry declined again(just as i predicted)... Sorry Bucks... And Tinsley has been nothing short of amazing 18.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 7.0 apg, 1.6 spg and 1.8 TOpg(all as a non-scoring option)... Who from my roster should I start at PF??? exactly, I have no other choice... |

I have fast break college basketball, if you guys/commish agree we can use the college players as draft prospects. I don't know how their college ratings will translate into pro. But I think it will have better players since college players declear ealry, along with some HS star. Also you can see their college/HS numbers on how well they perform so the draft will not be as much of a crapshot.

that's something to think about. I believe I tried the trial version of FBCB. But ultimately, I don't think it impacts this league tremendously. I actually like it being a bit of a crapshoot.
And Pistons, of course YOU care if Manning disappoints, I'm just talking about from a league health standpoint.

I disagree, I think Dean Drew is the steal of the draft (homer bias). Granted it could still be a fluke and he could come down to earth very fast over the next few sims, but his numbers were pretty damn surprising. |

I agree. I'm really liking my future. Imagine, I still have Deng under contract, Yao under contract. Springs, Lovey, Alston too.
Draft a stud with a top pick, and get another very good role player wth a pick around 15-20. Factor about 4.5 mil between those 2 picks. Leaves me with 9.5 mil in cap space, looking at siging probably 2 yon studs with ptential, then still resign Baron/Diddle/Finley.
If I go balls to the wall, I could be a Championship team next year.
Your kidding. There will be so many teams with cap space next year, the likelihood of signing 2 "young studs" with only 9.5 million is quite low. Plus free agency is not filled with young players, but older players this year. Everyone is goning to be after KG and the lke. I'm talking Griffin, Tanner, Johson, Chandler, Del Negro, Terp, Scahder, Jackson, Mihm, Lavar, Benoit, etc. |

It would be cool to synthesize the two leagues if there is a lot of crossover. Having it be less of a crapshoot would also help the bottom dwelling teams rebuild a little easier. |

Would that be something... If we could integrate the college fastbreak program into the SSBA and have each GM have their own college team to run... Just find another co-commish that would be willing to do the simming and take care of all that other isht... That would be awesome if we could do something like that...

i like the idea of taking players from the college basketball program. It would probably give us a larger variety of names and allow us to see some stats from college which would let us know the players strengths and weaknesses better.
