I knew this is the year of Isiah even last year (belive me, i've analized the entire draft for the next 3 years) and that is major, major concern for me. Majority of the top players coming in the next years are Magic's position with very few of them (Buck Williams, Tom Chambers,    LaSalle Thompson) being quaility bigs. I have yet to determine how i'm going to handle that. Drafting superstar like Zeke or Wilkins and then trading them for real time inside player (and there aren't many of them right now) is going to be a very dificult task.

Anyway, looks like a pretty good draft. Couple of good bigs and plenty of slashers and good guards.

Just by a quick look this is how i would rank them all (off course i have no idea how Bods created them, just looking by ratings and their careers)

1. Zeke; amazing.
2. Tom Chambers; i could really use his offensive arsenal down low
3. Buck Williams; looking really good
4. Danny Schayes
5. Albert King - offensive machine
6. Bill Laimbeer - quaility banger
7. Mark Aguirre - already looks like a good scorer and potentialy a very good defender
8. Kelly Tripucka - 20ppg but very questionable defense


Others; Ronaldo Blackman, Orlando Woolridge and Larry Nance are all kinda too weak IMO. They were a pretty good players.

I was looking at the old draft preview and there was a 7'4 giant with B+ inside and B-B at D and rebounding I think with A pot.  Should of left him in the draft.

Ok ok, don't get mad right away.

Anyway, i wanted to ask that before. How are you making the players? Based on what? Is their true potential and current ratings the only indicator of how good they're going to be or you're taking their careers and numbers as well into the consideration (i guess sometimes you do and sometimes you don't cause of the "suprise" sake).

I base their ratings off their first year production.

Their potential is random.

Then I tweak some players just to make the draft more balanced.

That's why Rolando Blackman's ratings are pedestrian.  He was a 13.3/3.1/1.3 player when he first game into the league.

i apologize if i'm asking things that have already been answered, but when Michael Jordan enters the game are we saying that he has an equal chance of having an A potential as he does having a C potential?

Before Magic came to the league i don't think i've took a look at draft discussion more then once or twice since i've came here.

Yes.

My goal of creating a draft file is not to mimic players.  What I try to do is make players have the same physical characteristics, and have the same strengths.

For example, Charles Barkley will be a 6'6" PF, who's a better scorer and rebounder than he is defender.  Now, Charles Barkley could be a 10/8 kinda guy, or he could be a 22/12 kind of guy.  That's not guaranteed based on the name.  But his game will have the same strengths and weaknesses he had in real life.

If I tried to create an exact replica, it would take a lot of the unknown out of drafting.  And that I don't want.

And that's what i find problematic. It means the only way we can be somehow sure of one's quaility is to pay for a true potential. But who has enough cash to pay for 3 or 5 guys every year comes draft time?
