    Wiggins with 31% on 3s and Markkanen with 33% though. Murray would faint.

    He would have run something else than 3 and Layup. Those are only bench players to me.

    You play to the strength of your team, they are just bench guys. You play a hard nosed, get stops and attack the rim kind of style.

    With Eric Gordon mostly in the game, and Sabonis , Covington providing the spark, George can shoot too.

    I have the best thiefs and very good blockers.

    Tony Parker wasn't all that good shooting 3s in the beginning and found a way to be efficient.

    3s are still part of the program but you can't be the Warriors all the time.

    You know how much you have to invest in shooters?

    Wiggins also shot 35.6% last season, you can't just ignore that too. 25 games isn't a great sample size.

    That's the fault of this draft, that people will try arguing about a quarter of a season. The season has not even reached half time.

    Admittedly, this 27 game season will be more important than usual but basing your whole argument on that small sample size is bizarre.

    Rosters are overhauled, new system, new teammates.

    Calm down breh, just reacted to your "who can all shoot" and RVG bench statement and now you did have to get more realistic a bit and say "they are just bench guys. You play a hard nosed, get stops and attack the rim kind of style.".
    If you talk about sample size, Wiggins has played 3.5 seasons and never shot above 31% when you leave out last season.

    Again, never dissed any of your starters, I'm solely stating that the shoot and RVG style bench was off.

    I know that is why put him on the bench. He has to improve but he shot better over a whole Season.

    Ok the RVG reference was to Covington only. Let's not nitpick anything here. For example Dimwiddie just shot above average this 25 games so I had reservations.

    And it was more to the Run and Gun style, which my bench team still imbodies. More Run than Gun obviously with big guys playing small.

    You can't get Redick at 3-4 million so cut me some slack here.

    Breh, just reacting to that one bench statement and nothing more implied. All good.

    And Markkanen 0.335 is pretty good for a Center if I put him there.

    Sure, but it's way too early in the day to attack my smallest weaknesses on the bench harhar.

    Forgiven.

    BTW we should really get a simulation going with no other stats other than the result.

    People are b****ing about Rodman getting boards over Hakeem, it could happen, not every game of course. But at least there is no I dun like that poster so I vote against him sentiment with machines.

    Thought we already agreed on the 2k thing.

    I'm playing with that https://www.whatifsports.com/NBA/default.asp thing they mentioned though, seems okay to me.

    Do we even need coaches with simulation, do they feature coaching?

    Edit: Ah, you need to pay after a 10day trial for that.
    Btw how cool is that?

    With that pay2play feature I mentioned above. But 9.99$ for 40 days is a bit dumb.

    Ah I see we now even have to pay to assemble custom squads on that simulator site, so it's useless.
