I have nothing against a draft class with many PG, because thats how it also works on the real NBA. THis way, we keep the league stay realistic and challenging with our endless pursuit of bigman like Scott Dickman and Edgar Barner.  |

It may not be on this year's draft, but in the previous drafts it was loaded with talented PGs. Heck, I don't think that there is a team in the league with a bad starting PG. Everyone already got 1-3 good PGs on their team in the NBA. The teams that I can name who have bad PG are only the Lakers and the Bucks (not sure with this). What I like about this league is the amount of talent level/big men we try to produce every year to keep this league in this realistic form. It makes it challenging for everyone. We keep ourselves busy checking the potentials or trading for the right guys who can/will help our team. |

Bucks have Mo williams....he's pretty good... Lakers....smush is ok...he has defense..shooting and can finish...i think teams with bad PG's are Hawks who has speedy claxton and tyron lue , IMO joe johnson cant play PG...and grizzlies...chucky atkins? D. stoudamire? |

D. stoudamire? Mo Williams and Smush doesn't play like PGs. Smush and the words "good PG" shouldn't be even allowed in a sentence. Yeah, I missed out the Hawks and the Grizzlies. But still, Atlanta got Joe Johnson as their PG who was playing all-star caliber performance prior to his injury. And for the Grizzlies, Damon Stoudamire is an above average PG. Same with SSBA, there is also a few teams who lacked a "good" PG. LIke the Bucks, Hornets, Knicks, Celts, and maybe the clipps. |

I disagree that Mo doesnt play like a PG. He can really dish out the assists, get into the lane and find his teammates where they shoot from best.

These retro drafts have left a lot to be desired. I thought the point of them was to reinfuse the league with talent... What we've gotten instead is one good player per draft and the rest are pretty much crap. This becomes obvious when you see that the teams that are dominating are the teams player original guys who are in the 30-35 range.
I guess eventually things will equalize once all the original players are gone.

Be thankful - your 2 #1's turned out to be the top players in the draft.

Eh, it would've been a real travesty had Magic not became a player like this. Yeah, Isiah is good but unfortunately i had to trade him for....Larry Bird. Who's having impressive 18ppg!  |

My #1 is putting up 18 ppg, but he'd be putting up about 13 on a higher scoring team.
The number 1 this year has great ratings, but he's completely crippled by a D potential. It's really stupid, imo. Who else is left? I'd take the fictional LaFrentz before any other player left.

These retro drafts have left a lot to be desired. I thought the point of them was to reinfuse the league with talent... actually it wasn't. The computer generated names could have been improved if it was to reinfuse the league with talent. It was to create interest and nostalgia, nothing more. I also disagree (quite strongly) that "the rest are crap". Frankly, these drafts have been the deepest the league has had not counting the first draft. There are currently 11 rookies averaging 10+ ppg. All of them have a B- or better defense, as rookies (3 B-'s, 3 B's, 2 B+'s, 3 A-'s). That's pretty incredible. You've got Taylor Bradley drafted 21st putting up major points. Don Collins drafted 23rd. Andrew Toney at 8 is a stud. As is Mike Evans at 13. Calvin Natt was a high pick at 6, but 20/11 while still on his rookie contract is good production from a 6th pick. Phil Hubbard was drafted 18th and is putting up 20/11.5. Mike Mitchell was the 12th pick. Michael Brooks at 7 was good value. He's putting up 17/6/3 as a 20 year old. Michael Robinson at 7 has continued to produce. As has Mark Aquirre at 9. Nikolas Semjonova was drafted 20th, and is putting up nearly 17 ppg in his 2nd season. Orlando woolridge is at 15/6/4 in his 2nd season. Kyle Macy at 13th. There are a lot of examples I could get, but these were the same complaints made when the guys who are now 30-35 and leading those winning teams came into the league. There's plenty of talent going outside of the top 5. The number 1 this year has great ratings, but he's completely crippled by a D potential. It's really stupid, imo. Why? has there never been a guy who was a stud early in his career, but then flamed out? Does that never happen in basketball? I thought the goal was to emulate real life. Not all decisions are slam dunks, easy, no consequence decisions (in fact, virtually none are). If Ralph had those ratings, AND a great potential, that would be stupid IMO |
