luby3131's PS3 draft classes

[luby3131]

hey guys,
im currently working on some draft classes, 2011 to 2015. im currently about halfway done with 2013, and planning on uploading it, along with 2011 and 2012 tonight. each class has 80 players in it, and all of them are real. the top player in each class is usually a one-and-done freshman, and rated somewhere between 83 and 85 overall. hope you guys enjoy!

UPDATE 12/3 just uploaded 2011, 2012, 2013! file name is luby3131 and the draft year (ex. luby3131 2011) currently working on 2014 and 2015, should be done in the next week or so. heres a little bit of info on the 2011, 2012, and 2013 classes

2011- top players in the class are Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, and Kyrie Irving. a pretty deep draft for SFs and PFs, with quite a few potential stars and some 2nd round gems.

2012- led on top by Austin Rivers and Michael Gilchrist. 2012 isn't quite as strong as 2011, and doesn't include Andre Drummond because he has opted not to reclassify, making him ineligible for the draft until 2013. but anyway, 2012 is a good year for PGs and SGs.

2013- headlining the class is Andre Drummond, who many believe could be a star in the NBA. Shabazz Muhammad, Issiah Austin, and LeBryan Nash are all top players in this class. 2013 appears to be a great year for bigs, as there are quite a few PFs and Cs that have 1st round talent.

I know overalls should be taken with a grain of salt, but don't u think 80+ is a little too much for unproven rookies?

I dont think so, because of the talent most of these guys have. John Wall was 84 overall this year, so i think it makes sense to keep the #1 pick in that range.

I don't watch much college basketball but no rookie deserves that kinda rating. So an unproven rookie is just as good as Jason Kidd? tony Parker? KG? I don't think so...

yes they are. look at this years stats:

Jason Kidd- 8.0 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 9.8 APG
Tony Parker- 18.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 7.3 APG
John Wall- 18.0 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 9.1 APG

Kevin Garnett- 15.7 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 1.9 APG
Blake Griffin- 19.3 PPG, 11.4 RPG, 2.4 APG

Ok u proved me wrong but I did say I dont watch college basketball. And my point was that those guys aren't even close to playing in the NBA yet so giving out good ratings like that is kinda stretching it for unproven players. John Wall and Blake Griffin should be exceptions though, not the norm.

i get what your saying, but remember, only the top 2-3 guys in each class are rated that high. every draft has 1 or 2 marquee players, and its usually easy to see from an early age who those talents are. for example, andre drummond is an amare clone, julius randle is very similar to a chris webber, and tre lyles has the look of a young tim duncan. these guys are the next generation of NBA stars, and the goal is to create them so they develop into stars during association mode

But remember, John Wall,Blake,KD and Derrick Rose are once in a lifetime prospects and not every draft is going to have that sure fire superstar. So far, no potential one and done prospect has impressed Not every draft is going to come out amazing remember the Andrea Bargnani draft?
