Re: (XBox360) CWSapp757/Dreece NBA 2K13 Realistic Fictional Draft Classes

A couple questions..

First, who's gamertag is draft class 7 under or is it not out?
Second, how come the first 3 draft classes' power points for 2k13 are not public on author stream?

Thanks.

Whoa, really? They were always public so it must be a mistake on my part. Check back on authorstream tonight JP and it should be public again.

Draft class seven is out and there are two versions as it is with all classes. Version one is under my gamertag which is Nsuplaya84 and the other is under Dreece's xxxDreecexxx.

What up beast. Man I don't use that 2k.com nonsense it's way to slow for my uploading and customization needs. I brought a game capture device(think DVR) from amazon so all I have to do is record the game while im playing to a flash drive. Then I can edit vids in sony vegas where I add music, transitions, etc..the upload to youtube after I do my thang!

Any status updates?

Love the first 7 draft classes... did a quick association where i just simmed every game to see how they developed into players and it looks GREAT. Can't wait to see more from you guys.

Re: (XBox360) CWSapp757/Dreece NBA 2K13 Realistic Fictional Draft Classes

Yes sir. Sorry about the wait but I had taken a break. We are actually about a week away from class 8 dropping. Maybe even earlier to be honest man.

No rush! You deserve the break, that's for sure. Can't wait for DC8 to drop.

Re: (XBox360) CWSapp757/Dreece NBA 2K13 Realistic Fictional Draft Classes

Thanks for the love man. We trying to get to draft class 11 before the next game comes out and I'm pretty sure we can do it!

Re: (XBox360) CWSapp757/Dreece NBA 2K13 Realistic Fictional Draft Classes

When draft class 8 drops, I will be doing my own scouting for the entertainment of you guys (and betterment of my team LOL). I'll try to have my own big board to oppose the opinions of Dreece and Sapp, and maybe put out a scouting report for the players I see fit. Can't promise anything quite like what you guys put out (that's AMAZING), but maybe player profiles and NBA comparisons... thinking along the lines of best case and worst case scenarios.

I really enjoy your scouting reports, and want to get some new opinions out there.

EDIT: Gonna go ahead and post a preview using DC7 now.

Player Proflies:
1. Jacoby Ross / PF / Cincinnati / Fr
Worst Case: Taj Gibson
Best Case: David Lee
Jacoby Ross saw great success as part of the 'Super Team' in Cincy this year. He was sometimes regarded as part of the 'supporting cast' to teammate Monta Westbrook, however the skill set he posses, we believe gives him a greater chance to succeed in the NBA. Jacoby Ross does his work down low. He's a balanced offensive and defensive player, and can sometimes even come out and guard on the perimeter. His rebounding skills are right up there with the best in college, and we suspect he won't have too much of a problem translating that into the NBA. Will he be ready to start from Day 1? Most likely not, but we see a potential all-star in Jacoby Ross.

2. Elan Baylor / SF / Cincinnati / Fr (76-84)
Elan Baylor is arguably the most NBA ready player in this draft. We saw many flashes of him showing the ability to have a huge impact on games in a number of ways. He is one of the best all-around players in the draft, with the ability to score inside and out. He holds his own while rebounding and playing the low post on D, but often relies on his athleticism too much. If anyone in this class could start out of the gate, it would be Elan. Because of the lack of sheer intangibles, scouts have their doubts about if Elan can turn into an all-star caliber player.
Worst Case: Tobias Harris
Best Case: Rudy Gay

3. Giogios Dyonysius / C / Greece / N/A
Giogios Dyonysius has exploded onto the scene of the NBA out of Greece, showing supreme low post skills, and even being able to step out and hit a jumpsuit, delighting NBA scouts everywhere. The competition in Greece is questionable, so opinions are mixed on how Giogios will be able to perform in the NBA. His post-D is what is being questions by most as he heads for the NBA draft - will he be able to guard the big bodies that the NBA. What's the ceiling for Dyonysius?
Worst Case: Jason Smith
Best Case: Nikola Vucevic 2.0 (2.0 meaning slightly better)

10. Travis Buchanan / SF / Texas / So (70 - 80)
Travis Buchanan is a player who we know has talent, the question is just how well he will be able to develop it at the next level. He doesn't stand out too much on the offensive side of the ball, although he is a very skilled rebounder and ballhandler. His perimeter defense has raised a few questions among scouts, as well as his basketball IQ and awareness to how the game is moving around him. Travis should be able to step right into the NBA and be an efficient role player, but whether or not he will translate into a quality starter is still up in the air.
Worst Case: CURRENT Hedo Turkoglu
Best Case: Shawn Marion

20. Gerard Banks / SF / Louisville / So
Gerard Banks is a personal favorite of our scouts. Although a leader of the Cardinals, he didn't put up any exceptional numbers. He was one of the best in college at finishing around the rim, and only the lack of an outside game is keeping him from being one of the best players in this draft. If he can develop a consistent jumpshot, remember the name Gerard Banks.
Worst Case: Arnett Moultrie
Best Case: Carl Landry

Yea everybody sorry for the delay it's been a hectic week but the media blitz will start most likely Wednesday night. Plenty of info on players in draft class 8 and even some sneek peeks into players up to draft class 11! Stay tuned more announcements to come.

since its possible to transport rosters now can you transport draft classes? If so, can you transport these to ps3?

Re: (XBox360) CWSapp757/Dreece NBA 2K13 Realistic Fictional Draft Classes

Anyone who has done research on these draft classes and is familiar with them is going to appreciate this.

I decided to take over the Mavs and basically trade EVERYTHING away. Everyone but Dirk was on the market (Dirk had a no-trade clause), and all I wanted were PICKS. I wanted to build an elite team through the draft.

With extensive research of the player and a lot of second guessing, I managed to create a team to be proud of where FOURTEEN (14!) of the FIFTEEN players on this team were prospect from DC3 - DC5.

Here's the rotation:

Spoiler

PG: James Sterling ('14 R1P3)
SG: Iman Shumpert*
SF: Gabriel Stevens ('13 R1P9)
PF: Ahmad Harmon ('14 R1P1)
C: Dre Redd ('15 R1P3)
6th: Andre Curry ('13 R1P14)
7th: Allen Crabbe ('13 R2P1) <-- Thanks scouting reports
8th: Crys Carter ('13 R1P10)
9th: Jabari Woodson ('14 R1P16)
10th: Justin Wood ('15 R1P12)
11th: Damon Teague ('13 R1P17)
12th: Lamont Kelly ('13 R2P6)
James Girls ('15 R1P8)
Donnell Hickson (UNDRAFTED) <- signed him post draft
Maurice Copeland ('15 R1P23)

So pumped to watch this team develop. I'm assuming I will take some major cap hits in the upcoming years, but I'm READY.
Best Pick: Tough to find a star w/ pick 9 (Gabriel Stevens), but Allen Crabbe in 2nd round is great.
Worst Pick: Justin Wood isn't going anywhere. Bench player for life.

So. Much. Fun.
