Looking like a spurs vs detroit rematch!
Buff the injury sliders to 99 make the season more suspenseful!

Can throw out some interesting lineups, pleasantly surprised with Sabonis 94 rating and Herros 86 rating, came in a bit higher than expected. Disappointed with Ant Mans rating, definately thought he would crack 90.

Who’s got the 112 defense rating? I thought it would be wemby. I don’t see a team left that would realistically carry that type of player. Maybe Jaren Jackson? Or Giannis?

It seems like the ratings don't account for IRL performances this season at all, not even a little bit.
Does OVR or POT actually matter? Because some of those are *wild*!

The sim is a year behind so it won’t reflect this years irl stats. Once next year sim season starts then whatever happens this year irl will reflect that next season.
As far as overalls if you see a player has an overall on the lower side don’t assume he’s useless. Study his stats and determine how he can help impact your team and how u want to use them. They might have high stats in categories that will benefit how u want to build your lineups
POT = potential of the player. I honestly don’t know how useful this is. (I think the more you play the player the better chance he has to reach his potential over the course of a season. You might have to ask bish about this one or somebody else

I think they take some rookie (and maybe 2nd year) early performances into consideration.
Busta - I would take MUCH more stock in the individual rankings than the composite rankings.

There are currently four teams (Milwaukee, Portland, Golden State, and the Lakers who are not roster legal. If you have less than 13 players on your roster by 6:00PM tomorrow night, a random free agent will be added to your team.
All teams can begin submitting their lineups with minute allocations. Remember all minutes need to be even, the sim breaks things down in two minute intervals so no odd numbers in your lineups. All lineups must be in no later than Noon on game day.
Please check your team pages for any errors. Opening night will be this Friday.

++ to FAT and Cap. Yeah composite ratings and potentials are nice to look at but like they said individual skill ratings hold more weight especially if you find areas where these guys can contribute in their specific roles. Overall rating doesn't necessarily mean better especially for the role you want them to play.

Okay, yeah, I just took a closer look at the numbers and I'd love to know more about how they come up w/the composite ratings because they barely relate to the individual skill ratings, so I'm gonna go ahead and just ignore those...
