Heya. Great efforts here.

Just wanted to say Corey Appling averaged 0.2 rebounds per game in 35.6 mins in his rookie year in my MyLeague. I know he's a PG but that seems way unrealistic for a 6'5" guy. Maybe give it a touch up?
I would imagine that a 6'5" PG who doesn't rebound would get 2 or 3 rebs per 36mins minimum.

I've done research on the last 15 NBA drafts to guage how many elite players, star players, starters, role players, bench players should be in each draft class and will have the draft classes that I do be similar to those. I've also looked at the amount of upper and lower classman that enter the draft each year, along with International players and will incorporate that into the draft classes as well. Drafts will include gems and busts, I'll incorporate this by using the Peak Start - peak end - and potential. An example would be, 3 top players in a draft all with Potential's over 95+...they would likely get drafted 1, 2, 3. One may turn out to be a bust and not get close to that 95 overall, maybe stay at their current overall or just progress a few points, or one may become a quality player and reach high 70's - low 80's overall and the third guy might live up to his potential and reach that 95+ overall. That's just an example of how things could turn out in that type of scenario. Shout out to Bigc45157 who has helped out with the groundwork for some of the upcoming draft classes.
