I noticed one of the files wasn't loading on my iphone so i tried the other one and it worked. They're the same file just in different formats so try both of them

Oh, I've completely put 2K away for the past 1,5 months, and then I get that email from Sapp. Must mean we're getting closer to Sim-World time!

Maybe time to polish the skills a bit and get ready! Really excited for this entire project again! Thanks for all you're doing for us, guys!

Can't imagine what what kind of line ups would be run if the Sixers or Bucks drafted him in Myleague.

If the bucks drafted him and he was playing alongside giannis they would be the headrest team to guard in the NBA

Not if neither of them have a jumper & DEFINITELY depends on the rest of that starting lineup.

Gianni's's jumpshot will get better throughout his career. Khris Middleton is a very good shooter and he's also very long and tall. If they had their current starting lineup + a healthy Khris Middleton and the 6'10" Point Guard (can't remember his name off the top of my head) then their shortest player would be 6'7"

Touché but they should probably move that backcourt to the frontcourt in that scenario because outside of Jabari that frontcourt is looking extremely suspect.

John Henson is an amazing shot blocker but he definetly needs to add some muscle. Greg Monroe on the other hand is very strong and a good rebounder but not nearly as good as a shot blocker and defender so they kind of have an awkward scenario right now with who they want their main big man to be outside of jabari, but i think that both Monroe and Henson could develop into solid big man further in their careers.

It’s Already time to start looking at those Senior Prospects

Seniors don’t get the love that they deserve sometimes but we here at SimWorld have love for the senior prospects which is why we always start our Top Five series with seniors. Let’s take a minute to look around the country and see who the top senior NBA prospects are.

5)
Name: Matt Conley
Position: SF
School: Dayton
Projected Draft Range: Late First to Early Second Round
Why You Should Keep an Eye Out for This Guy: Because he has the chance to lead the nation in scoring and is a straight up shooter. Sure he isn’t going to be able to get himself open in the NBA but can you ever really have enough shooters? I didn’t think so.

4)
Name: Blaine Hertzman
Position: PF
School: Tulsa
Projected Draft Range: Late First to Early Second Round
Why You Should Keep an Eye Out for This Guy: Because he is a versatile PF that can play more than one position and can shoot the rock from mid range.

3)
Name: Ashton Angle
Position: C
School: Pittsburgh
Projected Draft Range: Late First to Early Second Round
Why You Should Keep an Eye Out for This Guy: He’s another versatile guy. A center that is a better ball handler than most big men and can get up and down the floor and play pretty physical as well.

2)
Name: Kenny LeMay
Position: PG
School: N.C. State
Projected Draft Range: Mid to Late Lottery Pick
Why You Should Keep an Eye Out for This Guy: Kenny LeMay is what Keyon Dawkins was for Nebraska last year except more talented. One of the smartest players in the country and the best ball distributor who will be ready to step in and run an offense.

1)
Name: Ekpe Ococha
Position: PF
School: Illinois
Projected Draft Range: Top Three
Why You Should Keep an Eye Out for This Guy: If not for Blackshear, he would be the guy that no one could stop talking about. One of the most talented guys we have seen in years and easily the best big in the draft. It’s amazing that he stayed long enough to put together one of the best four year careers we have seen in a while.

December 7th
Nakevion Johnson NOT the best point guard in the country?

Since his freshman year last year, everyone has pretty much agreed that Nakevion Johnson was THE point guard prospect to look out for. Enter the young freshman from Marquette Vic Flair. Flair has been amazing six games in to his career averaging 17.9ppg, 8.1apg, 3.3spg. Of course you also have Kenny LeMay in the mix but I don’t think he is in the same league as these two when it comes to star potential. It will be interesting to see if all both guys (or neither) declare for this upcoming draft.

December 11th
Of course Duke got one of the most impressive Freshman this year. What else would you expect?

Since it’s getting so close to Christmas, I suppose it’s only right to talk about the young freshman who is turning heads, SG Brant Christmas. Any freshman that is a top 100 player and goes to Duke is going to have eyes on him but after a 42 point outing against West Virginia, people are REALLY looking at him. The sharpshooter has talked about his game saying that it was just “one of those nights”. One thing that may disappoint some is that when he was asked about the possibility of going pro, he said “Definitely not coming out this year. The goal is to stay all four years but we will see”. I find it hard to believe he will be there for four years but look at Ekpe Ococha so who knows.

December 15th
Wake Forest Junior Center is starting to look like a top ten pick these days

Junior Center Cypress Von Impe played second fiddle to Jaiveer Nagra last year but he has really showed up as a top prospect now that the team belongs to him. Von Impe has played with intensity and even though his numbers may not show it, he has been one of the most impactful big man on the defensive end and has been explosive on the offensive end. If he keeps up, and declares of course, he should be a lottery pick a few months from now.

Player of the year… I have no idea.

So Matt Conley is averaging almost 30 points a game on a top 25 team and it’s been pretty much accepted that he is third to Ekpe Ococha and Derwin Amani Blackshear. Assuming these two keep up at the pace they are going who would you give the award to?

Derwin Amani Blackshear is the best player on who most consider to be the best team in the land. He is averaging 27.3ppg, 3.2rpg, 3.1apg and a 1.1spg. He comes a family that’s used to bringing home POY honors and this will probably be his last year.

Ekpe Ococha is not in the top 20 in scoring this year averaging 19.9 points but is top 5 in rebounds averaging 12.1 a game and top 5 in blocks averaging 3.1 per game.

With all of that being said, who do you think the player of the year will be?

December 23th
With January all most here, I have to say that Croatian PF Balibor Ancic is shooting up the big board

I know a lot of you hate the foreign prospects and I can’t say that I blame you because a lot of them do end up being a big waste of time but I think we might have something with Balibor Ancic. Ancic is a 6’11” 225 lbs big man that is an athlete and can plays some serious defense. He is a real inside/outside offensive threat that has an opportunity to be in the top 20 in blocks and steals in the future. He is also a good spot up shooter. Right now, he needs to improve his basketball IQ and his overall defensive game but I think this guy can be a superstar in the future. Keep an eye out.

December 28th
Von Rushing is out of here after this year

7’3 Sophomore West Virginia center Von Rushing has announced through twitter that he will going pro after this year. Rushing isn’t your typical oversized center that’s going to get drafted for his size. He is seriously a skilled big man that can rebound, defend and score in the post. I think Rushing has the chance to be a top 10 pick. We will see where he lands on the Big Board when it is released next month.
