If anyone plays NBA2K21 on PS5

I just uploaded a roster with all the first round rookies uploaded.

My first year doing 2K rosters but I’ve had the number 1 rated Madden roster 3 years running.

Got Cade and the rest of the 29 other first round rookies along with all the traded players. Will update free agency when the time comes as well.

Nothing for the PS4 version?

Looks like Chuck’s family must have given permission for him to wear it.

Still can't believe we have a potential franchise player, selected with the #1 overall pick.

If he is what everyone thinks he is, it's gonna be 4 championship drive real soon.

Jalen Green's "me me me" comments to the press after being drafted just further cemented for me that Cade was without a doubt the best pick for Detroit. The Pistons need a guy who embraces his role as a team leader and face of the franchise rather than an "I'm gonna get mine" player.

I actually agree with you. I know it’s pure conjecture, but he doesn’t seem self aware to me. Then again, neither was I at 18. His whole GQ article comes off as blaming others for how he’s perceived rather than using it as fuel. My prediction is if he’s good, he’s bolting for LA first chance he gets. If he doesn’t live up to the hype, he’ll end up clashing with his team. It’ll be an interesting story to follow for sure.

Probably #12

He's wearing #2, with the permission of Chuck Daly's family.

I think the world of Chuck Daly, but he only has #2 to reflect the two championships. I always thought it was a waste of a good number for a non-player. If decades down the line, there's a Cunningham #2 in the rafters and Chuck Daly maybe gets a Roman number II, I'd be fine.

So you’re the one person who gave the pick a B grade.

When Cade was the best player on a team loaded with talent(Green, Barnes, Suggs, Mobley)

The "he's going to bolt to LA the first chance he gets" cliche should've died years ago. In terms of someone "going Hollywood" and just needing to play for LA, this is not even a thing.

No it didn’t…

1. Lebron
2. AD
3. Kawhi
4. Paul George

Before the current 4, you have Shaq, Kobe, Dwight.

He’s also from Fresno. There is no way his dream isn’t to one day play in LA. 7 players in 25 years is not a cliche. It’s a reality. You can make that argument for New York being all smoke and mirrors, but not LA.

I'd easily argue NY isn't smoke and mirrors. Being in NY is an inherent advantage, just due to sheer marketability if you are a superstar. It's been consistently #1 in TV exposure for a while with 7 million concurrent TV households compared to 5 million for LA, and 3 million for Chicago

It’s possible that he may want to leave for a better market (too early to even speculate honestly), but let’s not act like Fresno is LA’s backyard.

I’ve made that drive and it’s a long one. Fresno is closer to the Bay and Sacramento than it is to LA. And it’s as different from LA as 2 places can be.

Not saying he won’t want a better market, but there’s no “hometown” angle here.

Grade the pick
