Training Camp thread

[Iverson2Korver43]

I guess i didn't do too bad with my draft ratings...

Here is what i did I gave them all a rating of 0-10 based on letter grades and totaled the score...  Then with each player i made a position specific rating(ex: PG - Handles, Outside Shooting, Defense)...  Then i selected my top 13 picks by rating position...  Below, the first position rating is before the draft, last one is after the TC...  I think i did a decent job with my ratings...  

Pick-- Player-------My Rating----Pos. Rating1--Pos. Rating2-----Final Rank
5 - Mason Mercer-----31--------------24---------------27-----------1
3 - Oscar Ferry-------31--------------23---------------23-----------4
1 - Tanner Houbregs-29--------------22---------------22-----------6
2 - Garett Pettit-------30--------------22---------------24-----------2
7 - Alvin Schenk------28--------------22---------------24-----------3
8 - Bob Diddle--------26--------------21---------------22-----------7
11-Troy Havlicek-----25--------------21---------------23-----------5
10- Ethan Terpening--29--------------20---------------20-----------9
6 - Lorenzo Ellis------30--------------20---------------20-----------10
4 - Emanuel Griffin---26--------------19---------------21-----------8
9 - LaDon Curry------28--------------19---------------19-----------11
13-Kyle Hobson------26--------------19---------------18-----------12
12-Jamal Del Negro--23--------------18---------------17-----------13

Side note - Potential was not a factor in this rating system...
Also, the pick i put, is the one i predicted...

Back to the TC...  I was really hoping Ferry's Potential would increase, but it sadly stayed at a D, his outside shot did improve though...  Terpening's potential did go up to a C, and his handles increased to a B-(he is now: B-,B-,B-,B+,C-,C)...  Definately ratings i can live with...  Murphy increased in Defense, but decreased in Handling and Inside Shooting...  Not much else, besides McInnis moving to a B in both Handles and Defense...  Overall i was hoping for a lot better, but i guess the hand with $hit filled up first again...

An average training camp for the Rockets... excpet one absolute EXPLOSION!!!!

Hunter Summit, the guy who a few said I wasted my LLE on, has leaped to B- B C+ B- D+ B. He is the missing Shooting Guard I so desperately needed.

I also put in a bid of the LLE to this guy...  you definately lucked out...

everything went well for me... Dwight and Pavel's defense went up by 2 and 1 rating respectively...

I was expecting my team to have no less the B on defense... but some deterriorated.. but we'll see...

Francis has a great training camp as well...

Jameer surprised me with his development...

The Hammer's, DeClercq, defense went up...
Not to mention that some of my player's potential went up.. lol

Joe Johnson is proving he should start on my team... he had a good TC...

I think Bruce Bowen did pretty good as well...

^ Print Screening was a good idea, and easy on the eyes  

Dwight Howard is going to be an amazing player, hes still only 18 with A potential.

thanks...

anyway, I was tired of doing the traditional copy-and-paste thing.. lol

[MagicGM]

Disappointing training camp. All LeBron did was go up one in outside shooting. That's it. Z improved his defense. Martin went up one in defense, but down one in rebounding. Prince went to an A- defense. Maclean turned out pretty solid. That's about it.

well. I guess its about time to trade LeBron to my team

[CavsGM]

I guess so. Butler is basically the same. Throw in Borchardt and let's pull the trigger.

get online... let's talk...  

[HawksGM]

Nets are lucky they got the #2 pick...Petit is looking pretty good and Tanner while still good, doesn't look like a dominant force, only 22 and his scoring is already going down!!

[NetsGM]

Tanner's looking a lot like Yao.

In real life.

Someone with great promise who plays very good but not dominant.

Of course, it's awfully quick to say that after he hasn't played a game and still has a B potential

[RaptorsGM]

I still can't get over Mercer and Araujo.

Therein lies the two mistakes I have made in this League. Trading Araujo, although I have made up for him, and drafting Ellis ahead of Mercer, although there was no way to know he would get that good.

[HawksGM]

yea that's a good analysis, he does still have B potential which isn't bad or anything, i just think it disappointed me and everyone else to see him go down

[NetsGM]

although there was no way to know he would get that good.

Yeah, but Mercer was rated better than Ellis.

You drafted based on potential.  Always a risk.

[RaptorsGM]

Ellis was a better all around player.

And Ellis will more than likely make a move to SG next year. With a B,B offence, he could give 18-20 ppg.

[CavsGM]

Before training camp, Mercer was a very good point guard with all the right ratings. Now, he is just ridiculous. He could be the rookie of the year.

[RaptorsGM]

He SHOULD be rookie of the year. Damn. I feel so bad for the Hawks.

Honestly, I think that a player's TC ratings are affected by what theam they are on. Seriously. The players that jumped the most were on the teams that are bound to win this year. Look at my guys, Vince and Finley both jumped in potential.
