Hey all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon and want to run a season in 2K12 where I have the teams draft players from NBA history. Because the 2K draft system sucks, I want to enlist your help to do it. If you guys could help me draft so I can do it manually, that would be awesome. I'll put up a format so it's easy to copy and paste. Choose the player, and the year that you think is the player's best (or fits the team the best). Just copy and paste the poster above you and choose a player. I will also update you on the progress of the season as it plays along. I randomized draft order. Also note this is serpentine style, so the Lakers will have the first pick of the second round. Hope this is a cool thing to see, especially with full 12 man rosters. I'll start: Suns - '93 Jordan, Knicks - Mavs - Nuggets - Pistons - Kings - Spurs - Pacers - Celtics - Nets - Rockets - Thunder - Trail Blazers - Bobcats - Hawks - Grizzlies - Bucks - Bulls - Jazz - Wizards - T-Wolves - Raptors - Clippers - Magic - Warriors - Heat - Cavs - 76ers - Hornets - Lakers -
Yeah I've checked that out, definitely helps. I think I might do the first few rounds and then post what I've done, then have people help me from there. Where I'm having a tough time deciding is the role players and such, especially in a 30 team draft. Does a team draft a 1999 Glenn Robinson or a 2000 Michael Finley for example in the last few rounds? I want this to be a massive draft that ends up with some really cool teams.
First round done, stopped doing the years because it took so long to decide. Just assume it's at their peak. Starting round 2 now. Suns - Jordan, Knicks - Kareem Mavs - Russell Nuggets - Bird Pistons - Magic Kings - Wilt Spurs - Kobe Pacers - Duncan Celtics - Oscar Nets - Olajuwon Rockets - LeBron Thunder - J. West Trail Blazers - Shaq Bobcats - M. Malone Hawks - Elgin Grizzlies - Hondo Bucks - Pettit Bulls - Dr. J Jazz - Garnett Wizards - K. Malone T-Wolves - Barkley Raptors - Isiah Clippers - D. Robinson Magic - Pippen Warriors - Cousy Heat - Stockton Cavs - R. Barry 76ers - Walton Hornets - W. Reed Lakers - E. Hayes
Just finished round 2. Taking a break, if you guys want to fill in some. Suns have first pick of the third round. Otherwise, I'll be back tonight to do round 3. Suns - Jordan, Dantley Knicks - Kareem, Archibald Mavs - Russell, Greer, Nuggets - Bird, Bellamy Pistons - Magic, B. King, Kings - Wilt, D. Wilkens Spurs - Kobe, McAdoo Pacers - Duncan, Worthy Celtics - Oscar, Cunningham Nets - Olajuwon, Pierce Rockets - LeBron, Parish Thunder - J. West, Schayes Trail Blazers - Shaq, DeBusschere Bobcats - M. Malone, Drexler, Hawks - Elgin, Lucas Grizzlies - Hondo, Unseld Bucks - Pettit, S. Jones Bulls - Dr. J, Thurmond Jazz - Garnett, Kidd Wizards - K. Malone, Payton T-Wolves - Barkley, Iverson Raptors - Isiah, Dirk, Clippers - D. Robinson, Nash Magic - Pippen, W. Frazier Warriors - Cousy, Ewing, Heat - Stockton, Mikan Cavs - R. Barry, D. Cowens 76ers - Walton, McHale Hornets - W. Reed, Wade, Lakers - E. Hayes, Gervin
I would take Shaq in his prime over Lebron. Lebron might become one of the greatest but he isnt there yet. If you are going by potential then Lebron would probably be over Kobe. thats my opinion.
Yeah I had a really tough time pegging the order of Olajuwon, West, LeBron and Shaq. Round 3/4: Suns - Jordan, Dantley, Heinsohn, Sikma Knicks - Kareem, Archibald, English, M.

The draft should be serpentine in selection order. The teams in the bottom half should have no chance at all
