First 3 picks went basically as I would have expected, 4-10 is going to be interesting

I’d like to move up. I’ve got 15 and can package players with it.

Hot take: Clippers would have been better served to take Pippen

With the selection of Bias last season (who is an inside scorer), Pippen would have been a nice complement offensively attacking the paint. Miller is an outside scorer so it will be interesting to see how the players play off of each other

Bogues is imo the first "big" drop off in talent as far as the picks go.

I don't think I would have gone Gilliam over the two excellent PGs but that's probably just preference.

I was trying to trade up to make sure I got one of Johnson/Smith/Lewis couldn't get it done, but luckily Lewis dropped to me.
Feels like exactly the fit my team needs given how much we needed wing scoring last year.

I would be willing to move any picks this year for some cap relief.

Some of these draft notes are in direct contradiction with what these guys actually did in their careers so it's throwing me for a loop lol.

Also Ownage I can't believe you would snap up KJ instead of letting him come home.

FYI...not to be a stickler over a couple spots, but it should be PHX at #34 and VAN and #37, as the SEA 2nd is what was sent to VAN in this trade. (http://www.ducksattack.com/forum/viewto ... 27&t=36472) ;)

Muggsy could be pretty awesome if he turns out anything like his IRL counterpart and that 7.6apg/1.6topg ratio

What about poor C defense Alvin Robertson from the 84 class? "Still needs to develop guarding the perimeter" when he did 3.7 SPG his sophomore year and was one of the best perimeter defenders ever. :P

Muggsy also starts out with B inside which leaves him a path to much better scoring than his real life 11 PPG peak. Bogues could definitely make me eat my words.

Gives you an idea of how they simmed and how their ratings are.

For instance I had to decrease Pippen’s outside when the game kept moving him to SG, he was like Melo DASL 1.0. I do check out their wikis and rankings usually go by RL draft results. Then start working on ratings.
