Love the new scouting format. Way more detailed and helps me a lot more with guidelines for my custom classes(different console).

When I first saw it the dude from Seton Hall was in the middle of the 1st as opposed to being #1 overall. He mentioned he edited it so the guys were in the right place.

Got you! I don’t think I saw it that early.

Good call.

when you are making these draft classes how do you come up with things like stats for the players

Just saw my first Juice Harrington highlight and got damn he is amazing.

Teammate gets the rebound and he starts sprinting down the left side of the court. Tatum is trying to keep up but Juice just blazes past him. Tre Hunter passes him the ball and I see the broadcast cam show TJ Warren in the paint. I kid you not, he took off from outside the paint and demolishes Warren. Harlen is yelling and I'm like "oh ****."

Because they wound up signing Sabonis, the Knicks let Tre Hunter walk in free agency and Seattle signed him. The Supersonics now has Juice, Savion White, Tre Hunter, and Myles Turner. Curious how they look the rest of the year.

These look great. Is it ok that so many players have potentials in the A’s? Not too many highly rated players after a few seasons?

Juice is a human highlight reel. I started a new MyLeague and relocated the Grizzlies to Seattle. I used DC 5 as my first draft class and landed Juice. I believe him and Morant will provide the 1-2 punch needed to soon be a contender in the league.

My current Starting 5:

PG Morant
SG Justise Winslow
SF Juice
PF Brandon Clarke
C Jaren Jackson Jr.

I also landed Bobby Anderson in the 2nd round and hope he develops into my rotation as a 3&D wing. I now currently have my eyes on Tariq Ejiofer while scouting DC 6. Considering possibly sliding him to SG and having Justise Winslow come off the bench as I think Ejiofer can potentially end up being a regular on the all-defensive team. Having so much fun building this roster!

No need to worry about that, I've used the "Peak Start" & "Peak end" to make sure the league doesn't get saturated with high overall players. When creating the draft classes I have to use a certain amount of high potentials to create draft busts--most of the high rated players will not reach their potential.

Keep an eye out for players that get called up from the G League though, It could cause an influx of players rated around 78-82 that normally wouldn't be.

I know you're not doing the season walkthroughs but will you still be posting something like a final recruiting rankings?

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info.

That’s a nice roster for Seattle. I’m not sure about the Knicks logic, but that’s par for the course.

I’m still not to Juice’s class, but it’s coming up. I can not wait to see what you’re all talking about.

Any one else seen any sleepers or gems in their ML’s? Curious as to what prospects have etched out a quality career from mid 1st to 2nd round.

I'll put the spoiler tags on so people can discover them themselves if they want.

Spoiler

One guy who I drafted and love on my team is Colt Paxton from DC1. The dude is absolutely lights out from 3 point range and I was able to snag him at pick 25 that year.

Another dude who I absolutely love is Evertt Quinn, the point forward from Gonzaga. He fell to the mid 1st in mine at like pick 18. Does not have much of an inside game, but he is fun to run the offense through and he averages 15/7/7 for me almost every year. He developed a 3 point shot too and I really like his stroke.

Finally, the last guy I feel like has developed nicely for me is Bo Riley, the PG out of Kansas State from DC6. I just purchased another copy of 2k20 after being locked out of my online version and I started with class 4, 5, then 6. I had solid shooting on my team, but I needed a jolt of athleticism and man, Bo Riley gave me just that. I traded the #25 and #36 round picks (both 1sts as its an expansion MyLeague) to move up to #22 and take Bo. He is a little rough around the edges, but he is so fast. I love getting rebounds and just finding him down the sideline and taking them in for fast breaks. He is one of the most athletic PGs I've played with. It helps that I went to Kansas State so it makes me like him even more.

One final guy I need to see more of, is Keon Granger out of Michigan State and DC2. I got 2-3 years into my other MyLeague with him a solid rotation guy off the bench, but then i got locked out. Loved him for a 3 and D guy.

I’ll keep it to 3 and do the same. There are a lot of later picks that caught me by surprise. Despite whatever ratings the have they’re really good doing certain things.

Jarvis Owens from Colorado in the 2020 class. A second round pick by OKC. He’s not a star or close to it in ML but he’s an amazing SG to put along a more offensive minded guard.

Rashawn Bryant in 2021 from Michigan State. Got picked in the 2nd round by Charlotte and always puts good numbers coming off the bench. If he started he’d maybe average a double double.

Trace Butler from 2021. Was picked 19th by Denver and he’s only 74 in year 4 but he is a defensive force in the post. His shooting numbers are pretty bad but next to Jokic and MPJ he looks good doing his job.

Re: JB's 2k20 (PS4) Fictional Draft Classes

Absolutely love DC 7’s format for the guide. Adds even more details to the draft while really allowing draft nerds, like myself to focus on the early portions of the 2nd round.

Great job as always, JB!

Re: JB's 2k20 (PS4) Fictional Draft Classes

Thought I would give you all an update on some of the prospects in JB’s classes. This writeup is the result of being in quarantine and having too much free time lol.

After finishing the season 58-24, the Orlando Magic ended up with the 1 seed in the East. The Magic look ready to do some damage for the next few years as they are led by two young guards in Jevon Rolle and Warren Kempton. Rolle went #1 overall while Kempton went #2 the following season. Rolle finished his 5th season averaging 21 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds per game while Kempton averaged 22 points a game and 5 boards a game. Elton Dawkins and Jace Redding provided solid support for those two all season.

The Kansas City Monarchs who got within striking distance of the Warriors win total finished 68-14 are led by their big 3 of Brighton Reed, Louis Morgan, and Dominykas Dambrauskas. Through some luck in the lottery, the Monarchs were able to snag Brighton Reed, and Louis Morgan at pick 2 and 3 behind Jevon Rolle. Reed is fresh off an MVP award and is averaging 26 points, 6 boards, and 10 assists a game, while Morgan is averaging 20 points while shooting 42% from 3. Dambrauskas in his 7th season averaged 22 points and shot lights out from 3 at 45%.

In game 3 of the NBA Finals the Monarchs the series was tied 1-1 and the Monarchs needed a big win on the road. In a back and forth game the Monarchs would come up with a win 119-111.

Brighton Reed had a monster game and finished with 40 points, 13 assists, 9 rebounds, and 5 steals.
Morgan would finish with 31 points while knocking in 5 3-pointers.
Dambrauskas had 23 points in the win with 18 of them coming behind the 3 point line.

For the Magic, Jevon Rolle would finish with 27 points, 7 assists.
Kempton would pour in 22 points, but on an ineffective shooting night.

The Monarchs had too much firepower for the Magic to contain in this one and took a 2-1 series lead.
