Every GM should just do it. Besides the obvious tankers, they’re never truly accurate, but it’s fun to read the comments and even prove people wrong lol.

Five teams have submitted rankings so far. One week to go.

Also, side note... I couldn't download the sim onto my laptop. I had to purchase a new one to put the game on this year. I picked it up today so will try and get into the game this weekend. Look for initial ratings to drop sometime before Sunday night.

I haven't been in the running in years and I think I still submit one every year, or at least most of the time. I'll do it over the weekend.

Looks over the MVP list and shakes his head. Some NYK/NBA fans are still feeling the sting of Trae's beat down he put on them and his rise to a true playoff closer in that regard! Remember this and take notes for years to come :lol:

Of course I'd love everyone doing it, but I don't think the "not seeing your own ranking" thing is an effective deterrent lol.

Would rather see the overall rankings for bragging rights at the end of the season.

Maybe Bish only gives us the full rankings in PMs, and puts the abbreviated ones in the thread?

Who do y'all have as 5 star players?

Going off last year I'm going with:

Trae, Murray, Giannis, KD, LeBron, Embiid, Jokic, Luka.

Jimmy, DeMar, AD, and LaMelo are maybes - I expect them at 4.5 but borderline 5 stars.

Murray won't get 5 star status likely a 4, tougher for guards to get a 5 star in the SIM

Westbrook was a 5 star last year. Simmons was a 4.5 star my first year joining BAF. Players similar to Murray are consistently overrated in the sim. I said it in the off-season, he's going to be first team All NBA next year.

First team All NBA will be:

Murray
Luka
KD
Giannis
Jokic

And I'm making sure DeMar and Jarrett Allen are 2nd team too.
