Well, UCLA is your National Champion. This is the first draft that we have refrained from doign the extra bells and whistles and we will continue that trend going forward.

Something I noticed as I looked back through the draft classes that I would like to applaud you on is the balance of these classes. What I mean by that is the right amount of each type of player isn't present over the course of the draft classes, through ten at least. Just look at the superstars as an example. through you first 10 draft classes, I'd say from my perspective there are only 5 true franchise players (meaning you could contend for a title with him as your best player and the right role players). Those five are Adam Cameron, Whakil Blackshear, Jameel Bethea, Stewart Braxton, and Chris Bishop Jr. Granted there are a lot of guys that are close, guys like Ray Ray Armstrong, Donovan Robinson, Kareem Bishop, Russell Lawson, Darius Player, Kurtis Holden, etc., but the top 5 guys are the ones I mentioned, I believe. Only 5 true title contending franchise player types. One of the flaws in other draft classes (and the 2k generics) is that every class has one or two franchise guys and then league is overstuffed with 90 overalls before long. I'm not gonna say you couldn't win a title with Ray Ray or Kareem or some of the other guys as your best player, but I don't think they are as elite of prospects as those 5.

Naw man building superstars is fun but that's easy. The challenge is to get those all star tier and below being just as effective at what they do.

We can have a guy like Dejuan Frazier wreak havoc on the opposing star of a current NBA team! Is he a MEGA-STAR overall..nope, but is he good enough defensively to guard Durant, George, Aldridge, Harden as a rookie?? I bet money he is! And he only a mid 60 overall!

The reason why we have balance like this is because Sapp is the master brain child behind this . I bow down to his attention to #s and the way he implements it all to form what we build. Trust me...we don't just throw #'s around..its all accounted for.

Yeah. some of my favorite players in the draft are guys that aren't superstars like those 5. Frazier is a guy that could be an Andre Iguodala type (great defender, athletic, can pass well for the forward position) and I like him. Another guy I like is Kurtis Holden, who has been a monster on the low block for me even if he's not a 'superstar' two-way player.

Well we got 3 guys (me, Sapp, Ronyell) who does player creation. And we were running a contest for people to win a chance to put their own guy in so we get a good variation of player types.

Hybrid players are the most fun to create for me. And we got a few good hybrid types (point forwards, scoring pg's, etc) coming.

Yeah just to add to this, I'm still in a 30 team 2k13 Association that i started last year, up to DC7. It's a testament to how great the work is that Sapp and Dreece (and Blindside) put in. Without the classes I would have stopped playing long ago.

2k should genuinely consider adding you guys to the team as draft class makers.

Thanks bro. I have to hand it to Sapp & Dreece though. Seriously incredible work

Re: NBA 2K14 Fictional Draft Classes by CWSapp757/Dreece for XBOX 360

What's up guys. As you all know DC10 is in motion and is being billed as the "Bishop Draft". As usual there will be a few other good/great players included in the class, but that's for you to find out.

My question is this. I want you to list your starting lineup composing of only players you have used in your associations. If they didn't play for you...don't list them lol

My team

PG- Whakil Blackshear
SG- Hector Garrison
SF- Martavius Elliott
PF- Kurtis Holden
C- Ray Ray Francis

Feedback is welcomed
