(PS3) LJ_K1NG's Fictional Draft Class

[LJ_K1NG]

So while I was waiting for da release of bedwardsroy19 rosters, i started creating a draft class.. i really enjoyed the write ups for CSWSapp's classes n with his blessing i decided to do some of my own..

hope u all enjoy.. i have posted a sample version on 2K Share already.. i am still tweaking that but i wanted to get some feedback from ppl.. so remember that is not a finished version.. when it is finished i will update with a write up included..

any feedback would be appreciated.. thanks a lot to bedwardsroy19 n CSWSapp..

my PSN is: LJ_K1NG

***I released the draft class for the write up below..

filename: Fictional Draft 1 v3.0

i just released version 3 of da 1st draft class.. about to start working on 2nd class now..

I'll check it out when I get a chance tomorrow, LJ!

I'm looking forward to pitching in for some good DC's to go along with bedwards roster.

ok so im still working on this draft class but i wanted to give u guys a heads up..

this draft class will not be filled with a bunch players with 80+ pot or ratings.. players are in that 65-75 potential range.. there maybe 1 or 2 players that crack that 80 rating..

there are 'specialist' in this class.. what i mean by specialist is that these players are highly rated in a certain area.. but are average at best in others.. so if u need that shooter to spread da floor so teams cant double ur big man.. u will find one.. need that defensive stopper on da wings.. u can find one.. that big man to clog da lane n swat shots.. he's in there.. just for fun u may find a specialist who can do a lil more.. i.e. elite defender n excellent 3pt shooter..

for those of us that love to actually scout players.. u should enjoy this draft class.. there maybe a guy that has 2nd round ratings but 1st round potential.. a guy u can put in da D League for a year n he will be ready to contribute da next season..

u will run into some guys who have great skills n potential but just cant stay healthy (Greg Oden) or someone with great ratings but low potential..

so i hope u guys enjoy.. im hoping to have these done sometime this afternoon..

I'll use these as long as they compliment Bed's rosters.

[LJ_K1NG]

i took a look at what bedwardsroy19 were rating his rookies n used that as a base.. im gonna sim a few seasons b4 i upload to 2K share..

[IAmTheGood]

Awesome. I'll likely use these then. So there are a few "gems" in the second round? Players that could turn into starters with the right training?

yea there're 1 or 2 guys who are rated in the low 60's but have 70+ potential.. n with da right training could develop into starters.. look hard n u might find a 50's rated guy with some good potential..

ESPN.com Chad Ford's NBA Draft Scouting Report:

Top 5 Prospects:
1. SG Leon Buchanan Morehead State
2. PG Lance Justice Kentucky
3. SF Fred Wilks Kansas
4. PF Carson Walsh Duke
5. PF Stuart Givens North Carolina

Jay Bilas Top 3 Sleepers:
1. SF Casey Gale Missouri 6'7'' 226 lbs Soph
"Can spread the floor with deadly accuracy from 3. Can absolutely light up a gym. Not the most athletic player and may get beat off the dribble. But he can come in and be an impact role player from day one."

2. PG Len Hobbs England 6'4'' 177 lbs
"Can come right in and run your offense for your second team. Excellent freethrow shooter, although he doesn't get to the line as much as he should. Can be instant offense at times but is a little inconsistent."

3. C Juan Carlos Santiago Syracuse 6'11'' 265 lbs Fresh
"Has the potential to be the next great big man in the NBA, although I wish he would have stayed one more year to develop his game. Great around the basket, decent footwork and a very good shot blocker. Only question I have is will he stay focused and really listen to his coaches."

Top Lottery Prospects according to Chad Ford:
1. SG Leon Buchanan Morehead State 6'4'' 204 lbs Fresh
(Last Season: 19.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4.6 apg)
"By far the best player in the draft and the guy with most potential. Can play both guard spots, can shoot the ball with the best of them. He can defend and rebounds at a pretty high rate for a guard. He put this team on his back during the NCAA Tournament and was a few inches short of being in the National Championship game." - Hubert Davis

2. PG Lance Justice Kenticky 6'3'' 185 lbs Fresh
(Last Season: 17.3 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 8.9 apg)
"This kid was the sole reason Coach Cal was able to cut the nets down and win his first National Championship of his career. He is tough and has a high basketball I.Q. to go along with all that talent. Can put 25 or 30 points on the score board one game and beat you. Then the next night he'll beat you with 12 to 15 assists. Just a terrific all around player." - Jay Bilas

3. SF Fred Wilks Kansas 6'8'' 222 lbs Senior
(Last Season: 17.5 pts, 8.6 rebs, 1.2 stls)
"This young man will come right in and make an instant impact on whatever team drafts him. High character guy, great in the locker room. Not great at one thing but does everything very well. has an NBA ready body. Has to improve his shooting but is a handfull down low." - Digger Phelps

4. PF Carson Walsh Duke 6'11' 253 lbs Junior
(Last Season: 15.6 pts, 13.2 rebs, 2.1 blk)
"Was a dominant force for the Blue Devils last season. He has good hops for a man his size, which allows him to block or alter shots at the rim. If he can get a consistent 15 to 18 foot jumper look out!" - Hubert Davis

5. PF Stuart Givens North Carolina 6'9'' 236 lbs Soph
(Last Season: 19.7 ppg, 9.5 rbg, 3.3 apg)
"He can end up being the best player in this draft. Can beat you inside and out. Rebounds the ball with anger. Has the size to play the four but has the quickness to play the three as well. Will post little guys and fly by bigger defenders." - Jay Bilas

6. C Lou Law Arizona 7' 265 lbs Junior
(Last Season: 12.1 ppg, 7.8 rbg, 1.4 bpg)
"Needs to play bigger. Be more aggressive on the block. Will spend a lot of time on the bench because of foul trouble." - Bob Knight

7. SF Davor Ostrovsky 6'7'' 239 lbs Russia
(Last Season: 9.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.2 spg)
"Probably should have entered the draft last season. Would have been a top five pick if he had. Nevertheless, he will contribute right away. Very good mid-range shooter and an excellent help defender." - Fran Fraschilla

8. SG Jonathan McGee 6'7'' 195 lbs Syracuse Fresh
(Last Season: 16.8 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.6 apg)
"This guy reminds me of Reggie Miller. You give him an opening and he's gonna pull up and shoot. You have to defend the whole floor with this guy. Has to improve on his ability to create his own shot, but does a great job of using screens to lose defender, like Reggie did back in the day." - Dick Vitale

9. PF Alexander Forte 6'10'' 225 lbs Florida Senior
(Last Season: 17.3 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 4.3 apg)
"Can bring the ball up the court like a Lamar Odom or Hedu Turkuglu. I would like to see him get down on the blocks and post a little more." - Bob Knight

10. PG Larry Reyes 6'1'' 196 lbs Miami (FL) Fresh
(Last Season: 10.1 ppg, 6.5 apg, 2.6 spg)
"He was the ACC defensive player of the year. Gave opposing point guards all kinds of trouble bringing the ball up the court. If you're looking to spare your starting PG a few minutes and not have to worry about a drop off on either end of the court, the Reyes is your man." - Jay Bilas

11. SF Terrence Green 6'7'' 226 lbs NC State Soph
(Last Season: 13.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 1.9 spg)
"Great motor, will play hard each possesion. Has to improve his jump shot or teams will back off him and not let him beat them with his speed and quickness." - Digger Phelps

12. PF Conrad Davidson 6'8'' 248 lbs Texas Junior
(Last Season: 15.6 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 1.9 bpg)
"Listed at 6'8'' but maybe a little shorter, but still rebounds the ball at a very high rate and does a great job of blocking shots as well. Will need to get a little stronger if he wants to continue playing PF in the NBA." - Jay Bilas

13. SG Doug Gooding 6'6'' 205 lbs Indiana Junior
(Last Season: 18.6 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.9 rpg)
"Was the number one reason Coach Creen and the Hoosiers made it to the Final Four before losing to eventual champion Kentucky. But in that game he scored a career high 32 points. This kid will flat out score with ease at the next level." - Hubert Davis

14. PF Lazaro Alvarez 6'10'' 251 lbs USC Soph
(Last Season: 14.3 ppg, 13.2 rpg, 2.7 bpg)
"Very raw talent. Alvarez didn't start playing basketball until his junior year of high school. The best rebounder in the draft. Very limited offensivelly but what he lacks on offense he makes up for with relentless rebounding and effort on the deffensive end." - Jay Bilas
