2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

[ElPanandero]

Re: 2016 class

I am making real progress on a draft class for next year. Currently I have 27 made real prospects. Using the same attention to detail as I did in my 2015 class.

I have added Thon Maker and Dennis Smith Jr. because I want them in my Franchise mode and I know I won't be making a 2017 class. You can take them out if you want after you download.

The Draft Class is named "2016 + 2" (with spaces)

What are some of the other top players in yours? Just a general word of advice when doing 16 classes, all the scouting reports are for how they'll translate to college, not NBA. So a guy like Malik Newman who is generally been 3-5 on most scouting lists has a good college skill set but is small for an NBa guad (6'4 at best) so I always have him in my 6-10 range because I don't see his skill set translating as well. In my class I think I have Ben Simmons as the best (after my inflated thon of course) because he's just an athletic finisher with nba size already

Word. Yea I got Malik Newman at a 74 right now. Rating wise that puts him tied for 6th best prospect. But 74 in NBA 2k is middle of the road or one skill set players (As Ryan Hollins and Reggie Evans are rated 74 by 2k). So I got about 5 guys at 74 and 5 guys above them.

I just downloaded it and it looks pretty dope, interesting seeing Malik as a PG, I hadn't considered that before, also are you adding Thon into future releases because I didn't see him in there, so I threw my own Thon in haha

Also, so many props for finding Zhou Qi, I've been on him since he was like 15, I love his game and no one even knows who I'm talking about when I bring him up

Re: 2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

For your 2016 class check out Daniel Hamiliton who is a freshman for UCONN. His brother is Jordan Hamiliton and Daniel is a 2/3 who has good athleticism and a good shooter so far this year

Yea from what I was reading on Newman he is more of a score first PG. He's 6'3-6'4 185lbs. I personally don't see him as a 2 Guard in the NBA unless he's drafted by Phoenix lol.

ha! Oh and Zhou is kind of funny because he seems to not believe he's an NBA prospect in his interview he straight up acted like it was crazy for the dude to ask him if he was thinking about the NBA. He's the only one that doesn't know he's a prospect.

I had Thon in there before but I moved him to my 2017 class. It's being said that it's 50/50 whether he graduates high school this year or next.

Thanks I'll put him in there. I need more 2016 college juniors and seniors in there as well

Yea Qi doesn't care about basketball at all, but he's so good he could just end up somewhere anyway. As for Malik, I honestly think he's gonna end up being a tweener guard, he's real small but doesn't have the passing, court awareness, or leadership qualities a point guard needs. I think a team could reach on him as a combo guard, I mean Gary Harris got picked 21 and he's 6'4 as an SG.

And word, I hadn't looked at 2017 at all yet, I think I'm gonna stick with just the 15/16 and add players as I go. Also a real fun dude to check out for 16 or 17 is HS senior Damontrae Jefferson, he's 5'7 right now, but has tight handles, athelticism, and can throw down. He's a swaggy flashy passer, I threw him in the 16 class.

Re: 2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

Somewhat random question

So this is my first 2k basketball game since 2k11.

One thing about making a draft class then was the players body types looked much different the the real players.

Is there a noticeable difference with next gen and 2k15?

Thanks for the rosters...I built 2 for 2k11 and it is a ton of work

Re: 2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

Can't remember if these guys were 2017 or 2016 but seventh woods, Malik monk, Dennis Smith jr, Harry giles, jaylen fisher

[funktowndp]

Re: 2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

Thanks! I got a real good Dennis Smith Jr in my 2016 class (even though he is really 2017).

Seen Seventh Woods. I'll put him in but I don't have high hopes for him in tha NBA.

I'll get with Giles and Fisher.

Huge difference. Body types for prospects are pretty uniform. It sucks for making guys like Kennedy from UNC who is a Michael Sweetney/Big Baby esque fatty big man. For everyone else though they seem pretty natural body type wise

Re: 2015 PS4 Draft Class (71 Prospects)

Really I think seventh woods has amazing talent has a lot to work on but he should be good I have a pretty big list of 2016 prospects who all do you have so far? Also check out Malik monk I love his game he's exciting more than any prospect I've watched in years
