Is the Oscar bad I have the 91ovr version and if it a good enough upgrade to pay the larger tag

Hi, any proposal for my first line-up between DR Curry and Diamond moments Lillard?
http://2kmtcentral.com/16/players/compare/9018/10111

I am used to play with Curry, have gotten down his release, and his speed seems immense but Lillard seems better at the rim

Also for my second line-up as I starter I will sell Harden and with a total of 50k I want basically a shooter. I am used to ASG Mitch.

DeMar looks tempting but his D is scaring me though. Anyone that can compare?

Looking for a review of Diamond Aldridge, specifically as a center. I plan to run him off the bench with Diamond Draymond at PF, as part of a "5-out" look to add to my rotations. Seems like it could be an effective front court.

I have the diamond playoffs Lillard and he's DEADLY!! Additional badges include: Bruiser, Pick Pocket, Interceptor, Pick Dodger, Perimeter LD and Dimer.

He's a solid defender for me and the badges help a lot. I also have butler and Kawhi backing him up on the perimeter as well for added security. His athleticism alone with a +6 speed shoe allows him to stay in front of the Wallbrooks. He also does a solid job guarding Curry. He doesn't get bullied in the paint and he plays physical. His steal rating and pass perception shows in-game consistently. He's no longer a liability for me on defense like his previous versions.

On offense, there's not much to say compared to what's already been said. He can do anything you want him to do except post-up. He's a great playmaker and does a great job getting the entire team involved. His jumper is money like Mayweather and he attacks the rim with aggression. He can help any team IMO.

What do you guys think of the TBT Amethyst Dwight Howard? I've always loved his game, thought he was an incredible defensive player and rebounder and underrated offensively. However, I can't afford the diamond or DPOY without selling a bunch of players and at this point of the year I'm just collecting players I like or creating themed line-ups (plan on using Dwight for a best of mid to late 00s line-up with Wade, Lebron, Melo, Bosh, etc) and I already have Reward Diamond Kareem. So, it's not really worth selling a bunch of players, even for DPOY. But I have DPOY Ben Wallace and have noticed that he's a monster, so I figured TBT Dwight would be even crazier since they're kinda similar in size and athleticism.

He is really solid. I use him on my bench in my main squad. And as a starter in my non diamond

Recently I sold my AS CP3 and picked up a fully badged Lowry and Biyombo playoff cards. Love repping my home team so I decided to pick up some new Raptor cards. I had Derozan before but sold him when I heard playoff Wade was coming, I plan to buy him back soon though since I have playoff Powell and JV.

I have no regrets after selling AS CP3 because Biyombo and Lowry have made significant upgrades to my defense, rebounding and shooting. Biyombo is a beast on the boards and does a wonderful job protecting the rim. I found him to be a WAY better rim protector and rebounder than Diamond Kareem. I gave him a +9 vertical shoe and he wreaks a lot of havoc. People call him a poor mans Mutombo but I disagree. He's quite mobile and his athleticism allows him to grab rebounds over bigger players; kind of reminds me of Bill Russell's tenacity on the boards. Biyombo is a specialist and that's it. He can't shoot, ball control is terrible, and has no post offense. Most of his buckets come from hustle points, transition opportunities, Pick & Roll plays, and posterizers. He also has 98 hands so catching the ball will not be a problem on either end. Again, he's a specialist and that's it! I have diamond Draymond at PF so Biyombo's lackluster perimeter d doesn't get exploited. Even during pick and roll plays, I have Draymond cutting off passing lanes and contesting shots. Biyombo is a must have for die hard Raptor fans or theme teams. Compared to playoff JV, I would choose Biyombo every time. He's a grinder!

Playoff Lowry plays so much better than AS CP3 for me. First and foremost, his player model is intimidating for his size. He finishes well and can defend multiple positions. Few games Lowry was defending Diamond PG13, MVP Kobe, and TBT Lebron. He wasn't exceptional at guarding them but he did a great job containing them, it was quite shocking to see. He also gets a lot of steals and averaged the same amount CP3 would get. Attacking with Lowry is fun too since his layup animations rarely get blocked. He gets to the line at will and has an easy release. His floaters are money, and he finishes very well over the Wallbrooks. If you take smart shots with lowry, you will be rewarded. His jumper takes a little getting used to but damn, once you master it, he's lights out. His release is QUICK and greens are frequent. His jumper is so much quicker than AS CP3s. I have pulled off many step backs and crossover animations over taller defender and he converts his jumpers at a high percentage. He's also athletic so drive and kick is effective. His only downside on offense is his height and the inability to dunk the basketball, besides that he's solid. I have put him in my starting lineup over Playoff Lillard and he's done a great job thus far. I highly recommend surrounding him around shooters and cutters along with an athletic C.

Overall AS CP3 is still an amazing player but Lowry can give you just as much production at a cheaper cost. I bought Lowry fully badged for 28k and CP3 fully badged goes for 50-60k. Even though I downgraded stat wise, Lowry has been competing at the same level but better animation wise IMO. I also play better defensively with Lowry as well. Could be that his reaction time is 92 compared to CP3s 78. Stat wise AS CP3 is better on defense but I didn't see much disparity gameplay wise IMO.
