Dont fancy playing for the Nuggets either, just because. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Lottery Pick

Hoping to land with the Bulls, figure I can back up Rondo as a rook, take his starting spot in my second year and by the 3rd his contract is up and hopefully he'll be gone

Kings would be nice as Collison will be a FA after the first season and hopefully gone

Most likely will end up somewhere with too much PG depth tho, wish the mode had something in place to facilitate the positions we chose, if the users player gets to a certain rating or earns a starting spot then their team should begin to build around them.

(this is all me speculating by the way)

I want a point forward or playmaking PG to feed me the ball and take advantage of the pick and roll badges (the playmaking pg gets a boost to shooting too I think from a PnR). Also I feel like it would be nice to have 2 good 3 point shooters, though maybe one could be a shot creator. It will be interesting to see if glass cleaners are really mandatory in proam if their rebounding is really that good, but you could get a stretch 5 to take them out of the paint on offense.

We will also have an ok midrange shot, which might be worth taking depending on match ups, like if the other team decides to go with 2 glass cleaners/paint protectors.

Also I think i'll settle on 240 lbs as my weight, right in between my PF idol's weights (Shawn Kemp 230 lbs, Blake Griffin 250ish)

Agree with your point about ending up on a team with to much pg depth. I'll most likely end up on the Suns. least your shoe deal improves based on how early you go .

I agree. Sleepy kept the last year thread going and personally, he served as an inspiration to my character.
As for my player, i created a sharpshooter SG and picked Louisville. I havent played any games yet, im gonna start my Journey tomorrow i think. Im excited as well for the game, im looking forward to see the improvements they made for our teammates on HOF, for example.

6'8 Lockdown PF (240 pounds, 81.7" Wingspan) at Louisville. Didn't use upgrades

Midnight Mania was fun enough. Was trading baskets with the other PF because I couldn't defend at all lol. Didn't matter, I scored enough and was a projected lottery pick.

First game vs Oklahoma, struggled from the field but I drew a ton of fouls. Hit the go ahead layup with 15 seconds left and helped defend a post fade with time expiring that would've won it.

Next couple of games I still struggled from the field (bad ratings and timing layups).. deservedly got ripped on TV by that Richmond guy. All close wins (but my stock dropped after each game, down to being a projected mid first rounder. Probably could've gone lower if it was possible lol).

Then I came up pretty big in the Championship game against Michigan State. 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals. Blew them out by 20, first A+ grade.

Olympic game: 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 assists in 10 minutes of run.

I'm now back in the Lottery conversation.

Interesting...I thought the whole point in these build types was that Centers wouldn't be able to shoot 3s...

The sliders/difficulty will make a big difference, everyone probably knows from last year that the transition to the college/HS games to the nba made you really feel like a 55 ovr, same with going to the park

With Collison's outside basketball problems, he might be gone before the season begins.
