Here are a few pointers, things that I had made a mistake with in the beginning. PGs are the most important position on the team. Without a top notch PG, you won't far in the sim. Terry is right now close to being that guard but still lacks scoring punch (about 10 pts a game). He gets about 7 assits a game. Depth is the second most important element in the sim. As you can see, your team's depth sucks, but you have enough picks to field a twelve man roster next year, which is the limit. I would say that 10 players is the minimum you want to have but I would stress to get twelve players, worry about stars later. A few things about your players. Nazr had a break out year last year. He averaged around 13 to 14 points, 10 boards, and 1 block a game. He is prolly the best player on the team. Behind him, you have terry and miles. Both have yet to break out in the sim, but they still have good numbers. Miles was getting around 11 points a game, and I think close to 2 blocks a game. His rebounding sucked though, around 3 to 4 boards a game. However, people are still interested in him because he played great in the playoffs last year and because he is young. I kept him on my team because I really think next year he'll have a break out year. Ben Wallace, according to the sim, has the best rebounding rating you can have, yet he has failed to put up more than 7 boards a game, and he is a terrible scorer about 4 pts a game. Who knows what will happen next year. Keon Clark, to me, is a great six man. He gets around 10 pts and 5 boards a game. Alvin Williams is also pretty good. He has hovered between 10 to 14 points, 4 to 5 assists, and 1 steal a game. Mateen Cleaves has yet to do anything in the sim but give a few minutes rest to the starters. In the upcoming common draft, a draft where you have to submit two of your starters, I would protect nazr, terry (because he is a PG), and miles (because he has a lot of talent). I would submit Alvin Williams, (even though he might be your second best player) and either Clark or Wallace. At this point, I am not sure which of those players are better. I like wallace's toughness, but I also like Clark's scoring punch off the bench. Anyways, that was my crash course in the sim. Good Luck, man. It really is a good league to be in. ------------------ I am an invisible man. [This message has been edited by kbm (edited June 25, 2001).]
Thanks kbm. As of right now I will likely submit Miles and Wallace into the draft. I know Miles has a lot of talent but I'm not sure if he's the guy I want right now. I'd rather have Williams than him. Terry, Mohammed, and Clark will be protected for sure. Thanks again for the info! ------------------ Who needs teachers? I can learn my own self. DieHard Mock Time
