Bringing Back the Bad Boys | An NBA 2K15 MyLeague Video Dynasty

[Xixak]

Hello, and welcome to my NBA 2K15 MyLeague Video Series with the Detroit Pistons. Obviously, the Pistons have struggled mightily to establish themselves as a contender or even a regular playoff team since the breakup of Chauncey, Rip, Sheed, Big Ben, Tayshaun and company. I'm looking to change that, but also understand that it's going to be a long process.

With Stan Van Gundy as the head coach and Andre Drummond (oft compared to Dwight Howard) as the top young prospect, I think it is logical to try and mold this team in the image of Stan's 2009 NBA Finalist, Orlando Magic squad. That means surrounding Drummond with players capable of shooting the ball effectively and also defending multiple positions. Right now the team is not constructed that way at all, and there's also plenty of uncertainty regarding Greg Monroe's contract situation (and whether or not he even fits into SVG's offensive or defensive ideology).

It's going to take several seasons to rebuild this team. I'll be showing you guys my updates and progress throughout via video. As far as games go, I will play and upload approximately 1 game per week (in NBA 2K), so I should play approximately 20-30 games per season. I'll also keep you guys posted on League News, my Scouting and other relevant facts and details.

Please do follow this series along via video and feel free to check out my channel regularly to get quicker updates.
