But 5 stars, for real?

Top tier defense, top tier rebounding, high passing, high assists. It was basically set in stone based on how the sim engine has consistently overrated Russ and Simmons.


Pretty much this, I was going to say I'm shocked until you remember how much the game loved those two dudes. The 4.5 stars are going to be interesting now to me.

Curry, Tatum, Morant, Butler, George, Siakim, Towns, Shai, DeRozan as my sleeper pick.

Guys atop the 4 star list
Booker, Mitchell, Gobert, Harden, Zion, Lillard, Paul, Brown etc.

Bish said it was 9 guys?

I think it's most definitely Zion, DeMar, PG, Butler, Ja, Tatum, Harden, Gobert, and I'll take a shot out of left field and go with KAT as the final guy. Kyrie was 4 stars last year and had a better season so I want to put him instead of KAT but IDK.

MPH, I looked it up. Here's the link to contact the owner of Wolverine Studios. The Curry disrespect has to stop fam. Don't know if you have time, but you may have to book a flight to Ortonville, Michigan and protest. Just don't mention me bro. Don't need them messing with any of my players. :lol:

AD being a 5 confirms to me that they're going 100% off the numbers and Kawhi being 5 confirms they've recalculated ratings. Curry is dropping because the numbers are regular season based, not that it matters much MPH should still be dominant.

All I know is Embiid is hiding from Ben Simmons IRL so Simmons should take his place as a 5 star.

These players are available for a late 1st round pick.

Trey Lyles $1/2 Years
George Hill $20/2 Years
Isaac Okoro $26/2 Years


I am not looking for a lottery pick and might be willing to send two of them for the right package.

If the bold is the case, that means Miles will be in the game. He’s currently no longer going to jail, hasn’t been suspended yet, and had impressive stats last season. Yeah, he’s a current NBA free agent, but so what? That hasn’t stopped other past NBA free agents from being eligible for the SIM. I expect a 3.5/4.0 rating.

Also, if we not factoring in the early returns from this season, I expect Klay to hold at his usual 3.0 rating with output that provides high scoring and 3pt shooting.

I suspect Dame will take a ratings hit 3.5 or 4.0 due to the down numbers from his small sample size before opting for abdominal surgery last year.

I expect Wood to be 4.0

Brogdon 3.0

If early season returns don’t factor in for young previous year uninjured small sample size players (TMIII, 2Bol, Big Nick Energy) then I will have to lean on my old vets to eat mins without hurting the team as intangible guys (Ingles / Uncle Jeff / JHoliday / RoLo).

We’ll see tho…

Their stats aren't similarly distributed. I can see Miles being either not that good, or boosted to 5 stars based on his tracking numbers.

Also I don't know if this means he's in the game. Miles' release and probable suspension is very unique.
