Interesting and rare choice! Isn't his passing a bit low?
Would you like to share your team in seed 1 RTTP?

Re: Amethyst Upgrade

Moncrief only has 75 accuracy but I haven't seen him miss a pass yet. As long as you're not trying to thread the needle or hit half-court alley oops you should be fine.

My current RTTP lineup is:

reward John Stockton/DPOY Sidney Moncrief
ROTY Michael Jordan/reward Richard Hamilton
current Paul George/reward Ray Allen
current Klay Thompson/reward Chris Mullin
current Willie Cauley Stein/current Cody Zeller/dynamic Ryan Hollins

The only changes I'll be making in the near future are grabbing a cheap Anthony Davis when the All-Star packs crash the market so I can move Cauley Stein to the bench and then I'm still trying to find a PG with the closer badge so I can move Stockton down to the second unit.

How do you find Reward Richard Hamilton's jumper?! I feel it's too slow and defenders close out on him quick. I would love to use him more but I can never get a high quality shot with him.

Re: Amethyst Upgrade

Richard Hamilton definitely has a slow shooting animation that needs a lot of space to get off. But most of the shots I take with him are so open that it doesn't matter to me. If he's going to be your primary scorer you'll have trouble. But if he's just another guy out there to space the floor he'll be fine. I mostly use him for his defense, anyway. The shooting is just an added bonus. I added perimeter defender, interceptor, and limitless range to him and he's a great wing defender. Just make sure to give him a speed shoe so he can keep up with the faster wings in transition.

Thanks!

I will badge him out then. Mine only has two gold badges (pick dodger and corner specialist). You're right about about not making him a primary scorer, he should strictly be used for spot up shooting and defending perimeter players.

Are you using Klay at PF?

Re: Amethyst Upgrade

Only on offense. On defense I manually assign Paul George to the opponent's PF and put Klay Thompson on the SF or SG.
