Running with the Twolves in an alternate MyLeague. Drafted Dre Redd after finishing with 12 wins. First game with him, 22 pts 16 rbs. Dudes a monster. Also snagged Randall Cook. Money from mid range.

How in god's name did you finish with 12 wins with that team. They seem like 25-30 win team.

In real life they only have 6 at this point. But Rubio got hurt and didn't get him back til late February. Pekovic got hurt for 2 months. And I went into tank mode and traded Kevin Martin for 2 expiring contracts and a 2nd round pick.

Ok Sapp who you got I need one rising stock and one falling stock. And to anybody who got a chance to see the showcase who were you impressed with and who you disliked. Thanks gents

*Game Highlights coming shortly*

Re: NBA 2K15 Fictional Draft Classes by CWSapp757/Dreece/Blindside for XBOX One

Just watched the entire game and I think I speak for Redsox when I say that my falling stock would have to go to Eddie Porter. I know he is a lot better than his performance but I expected more than 8 points and 5 rebounds. On a brighter note, he did quietly rack up four steals. I also would have to throw Avon Blackshear up here as he appeared invisible at times.

Rising stock.... I think that could go to a few people. I would have to say Kyle Oberg who shot 6 for 8 and finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Also, Trey Cobb had a great game in limited time.

**ronyell** · 01-15-2015, 01:21 AM

Re: NBA 2K15 Fictional Draft Classes by CWSapp757/Dreece/Blindside for XBOX One

falling stock definitely Porter... rising for me is Waters & Cobb

**Dreece** · 01-15-2015, 01:49 AM

Re: NBA 2K15 Fictional Draft Classes by CWSapp757/Dreece/Blindside for XBOX One

I think the game was moving too fast for Porter. Oberg had him out his comfort zone trying to defend the 18 ft jumper and it seemed to impact his whole game. Four steals is nothing to sneeze at tho.

Trey Cobb was looking like Lamarcus out there lol. And I'm liking D'londo Richardson as a MAJOR force in an uptempo offense, he was attacking the rim with bad intentions.

All in all it was a good all star game type atmosphere. We will do this again..."Summer League" anyone?

**EDIT!!!**

Just watched Kyle Oberg highlight reel...he DESTROYED Eddie Porter...that is all lol.

Cincinnati team and coaching staff to dedicate the season to Center Dominique Mabry

A little over a week ago, Cincinnati freshman center Dominique Mabry was hit by a drunk driver. He remains in a coma after suffering serious injuries during the crash. Several players met with the coaching staff and it was determined that the team would wear a small patch with Mabry’s number and initials on their jerseys (#55 DM). It is expected to be approved by the NCAA by tomorrow.

Freshman Christopher Sapp Jr. said it best when he said “We want to win a championship for him but honestly, we would forfeit all of our games just to have him wake up and be with us again”.

January 5, 2018
Been doing some investigating and here is what we know about who is entering the draft

Player: Christopher Sapp
Position: Shooting Guard
School: Cincinnati
Class: Freshman
Projected Draft Position: Top 1 or 2… Guaranteed
Is He Leaving: 95% chance he is leaving. I would have said that it is 100 percent but since the Dominique Mabry tragedy, the team has REALLY come together and he could somehow be talked in to returning…. But it is doubtful.

Player: Aaiden Blackshear
Position: Small Forward
School: Temple
Class: Freshman
Projected Draft Position: Top 1 or 2… Guaranteed
Is He Leaving: 99% chance he is leaving. As a matter of fact, I think it’s a 99 percent chance that he and his brother Avon are leaving although they have not confirmed it. I will sit down with them and try to get some answers soon.

Player: Cam Jackson
Position: Center
School: Syracuse
Class: Sophomore
Projected Draft Position: Top Five
Is He Leaving: 30% chance that Jackson will enter the draft. After talking with Cam, he was reluctant to give me too much information but did say that it is “doubtful” that he will declare after this year. With the injuries from last year, this is really his first full year so I can understand why he is considering coming back although I think he should declare.

Player: Misu Cage
Position: Small Forward
School: LSU
Class: Sophomore
Projected Draft Position: Top Five – High Lottery Pick
Is He Leaving: 85% chance that he is leaving. After talking to Misu himself I had this number at 50% but thankfully his teammate Avery Hillard has a big mouth. After speaking with Hilliard, I found out that Cage and his family are “almost 100 percent sure that he will be entering the draft next year”. I am a big fan of Misu Cage so I am really hoping that he does.

Player: Adrian Benoit
Position: Point Guard
School: Cincinnati
Class: Freshman
Projected Draft Position: High to Mid Lottery Pick
Is He Leaving: 99% chance he is leaving. Benoit has said that he loves college and that there is nothing like it, but I have already spoke to Benoit’s father. He wasted no time in saying “My son is the best point guard in college right now so he will definitely be making the jump to the NBA after this season is done”.

So there you have it goes. Some of the top talent and some insight on the decisions that they will be making when their season comes to an end. Plan accordingly.

Michigan has quietly been looking as dangerous as the other top three teams in the nation

All year we have been talking about Temple, Cincy, and Duke. All three are undefeated and have several pro prospects. In the midst of all of that however, we seemed to forget that to talk about Michigan who also sits at 15 – 0 and has a line up full of NBA prospects as well. And did I mention that this is WITHOUT arguably their best player Sophomore PF Vante Michaels who is set to return to the team next week after receiving treatment for a drug addiction.

“It’s fine that no one talks about us. We would rather not be talked about anyway” sophomore center Brennan Fitness said when asked why the team wasn’t getting as much attention as the other top teams. The team appears to have the right mentality as they talk little and continue to destroy every one that has been put in front of them. The way things are looking, they seem to be a lock (as are the other three previously mentioned teams) to be a number 1 seed in the tournament.

Oklahoma State star forward sees his season come to an abrupt end

Sophomore PF Raymond Cooper, a projected first round draft pick if he were to declare, saw his season come to an end in the form of an torn ACL in the first half of the team’s game against Oklahoma. Oddly enough, it is difficult to tell when the injury occurs as he is running down the court before slowing down and calling a time out himself. He was taken to the back and quickly learned that he had an ACL tear.

This changes a lot for Cooper and his NBA plans and also changes a lot for the 13 and 3 Cowboys. We will see how they adjust without him in the lineup.

It’s time to show the world the Big Board

I have taken the time to watch the players and have finally put together my Big Board for this year. Keep in mind that many of the players near the top may not be declaring for this year’s draft (Eastern Michigan’s DeAndre Gervin for example). Check out the big board at the link below.

2017 – 2018 Big Board:

So assuming that Aaiden Blackshear and Christopher Sapp Jr. declare they are 1 and 2… so who is number three?

So here is a question that people will have some difficulty answering. If Sapp and Aaiden Blackshear are the number 1 and 2 picks, then who goes at number three. Here are some possibilities.

1) PF Avon Blackshear/Temple/ Freshman
Some say that Avon is getting more credit than he deserves just being the brother of Aaiden. But let’s not forget that Avon was tearing it up on the other side of the country before he even met his brother Aaiden. The difficult thing about this is that you expect the number 3 player to at least be close to the number 1 and 2 picks and watching Avon play along side his brother reminds you of just how much better Aaiden is than him. But that doesn’t mean he’s a bad player. I think he could be an all star.

2) C Eddie Porter/ Spain
Sure Porter had a bad outing in the draft class showcase but I don’t believe in judging a player off of one game. I think that Porter is not only ready to step in and contribute immediately, but will also get much better as time goes on.

3) SF Misu Cage/ LSU/ Sophomore
I spoke about Misu Cage earlier this month so you already know that I really like this guy. Cage came right after LSU lost freshman Amir Hilliard. Hilliard won SEC player of the year but it has pretty much been widely accepted that Misu Cage is the better player. Cage is another guy that I can see being a perennial all star but not much more.

4) PG Andrew Heller/Australia
Heller is the Australian Killer. You may not have heard much about him but I can promise you that he will be the first point guard off the board. At the moment, I think that Adrian Benoit is really the only other point guard close to him. Just like the previous guys that I mentioned, Heller won’t be a superstar but could be an all star for many years to come.

Who do you think deserves to be the third pick in next year’s draft?

Many high school recruits announce where they will be playing ball next year

This year seems to be an interesting one in recruiting. It is not like years past where Kentucky, Duke or North Carolina dominate the top. There is a lot of variety in regards to where the top high school players are going. Surprisingly, the Washington Huskies appear to be at the front of the line as they nab the #1 high school player in the land (Center Markevious Morrison) and the #11 high school player (SG Latrell Spencer). The rest of the top 150 can be found at the link below.

Who lit it up this month?

Of course the two guys that we expected to still be on this list are up there. Take a look at some of the other guys that lit it up in January.

SF Aaiden Blackshear/Freshman/ Temple: 24.8ppg, 9.8 rpg, 2.9bpg
SG Christopher Sapp/Freshman/ Cincinnati: 24.9 ppg, 7.5rpg, 3.8apg, 2.8spg
C Kyle Oberg/Sophomore/ Arizona: 25.4 ppg, 4.1rpg, 2.8apg
SF Miguel Miller/ Sophomore/ Arkansas: 17.6 ppg, 8.9rpg, 6.0 apg
SF Chief Gazaway/ Senior/ Ole Miss: 25.7ppg, 5.7 rpg

January International Newsfeed

Louis Zulevic—Croatia – Big Board Ranking: 55<sup>th</sup>
Zulevic is a fairly large point guard—some have him pegged as a two-guard in the NBA—and he isn’t the best passer or a particularly good shooter, but he’s a good defender and scouts agree that that translates well to the NBA. At the moment he could serve as a 6<sup>th</sup> man or a final starting option on a bad team, but Zulevic will have to improve his versatility if he wants to last a while in the league.

Mikios Iszo—Hungary – Big Board Ranking: 88<sup>th</sup>
He led Hungary in points per game last year, but Mikios Iszo knows he has a lot to work on if he wants to make the grade. He’ll need to work on his physicality and post defense, as 6’8 is infinitely less impressive in the NBA than it is in Hungary. He projects as a top-of-the-bench player assuming a team that allows him to work on his game drafts him.

Sergio Gaza—Dominican Republic – Big Board Ranking: 151<sup>st</sup>
Gaza is a bit of an anomaly, being 6’8 and playing small forward in a league where 6’8 usually means center, but Gaza’s game relies on being able to rove around the court. He always seems to be in the right place, whether it be to tip a pass or record a steal. That won’t be half as easy in the NBA, so Gaza projects more as a role player than a consistent starter.

Juozas Dvarionos—Lithuania – Big Board Ranking: 230<sup>th</sup>
7’1 centers usually have a place in the NBA, but Dvarionos may prove to be the exception that proves the rule. He’s not that talented, not that polished, not that positionally aware… but he is 7’1, and 7’1 centers usually have a place in the NBA.

Demba Gomis—Senegal – Big Board Ranking: 430<sup>th</sup>
Gomis is a stretch 4. A really, really stretchy 4. Clocking in at 6’11 but only weighing 208 pounds, Gomis relies on his shooting and can’t do much else. However, he’s not very good while shooting in traffic, meaning he probably won’t translate into more than a role player in the NBA.

Sapp you pointed this to me last night during the stream, that Eddie is a big boy. How about Markevious Morrison? Dude is 7'2, 321 lbs. That is a BIG BOY!!! Is that the heaviest a CAP can be? Because 321 is a very strange number.
