Re: Build a Franchise Discussion Thread (Season 6)- Announcement on page 42 (Power rankings due tonight)
Made a trade that may make my team slightly worse this year but will put us in a much stronger position to make a big move at the deadline or this off-season.

De'Aaron Fox / Kyle Lowry / Bronny James
Dyson Daniels / De'Anthony Melton / Svi Mykhailiuk
OG Anunoby / Jaylen Wells / Baylor Scheierman
Pascal Siakam / Grant Williams / Simone Fontecchio

You are not a couple years away as the ranking commentary suggested. With those ratings you could even win the division right now.

Rankings aside, My money is on the spurs to win the chip again if everyone stays healthy.

where are the ratings?
Go look at the team posts on the locked BaF page. I think so far only Boston has their screenshot ratings up.

Doubtful, but you never know! James Wiseman was a monster his rookie SIM year, hoping for the same with Chet.

I was surprised you didn’t get docked at all for the Chet injury. I guess if he was healthy you’d have had THREE 5.0 potential guys.
I love the way you drafted bro, but the developers seem to be extremely liberal with the potential ratings on lottery picks thus far. Interesting…

Looks like we have new categories in the ratings. Jumper and 3 point shooting are separate now.
Also what is CL? Is that closer?

Chet block and defense should be higher also should be 5 star potential

I peeped those too. Makes sense. Cuz there did need to be a distinction between threes and long twos. Like Curry and DeRozan get busy in totally different ways but both use a variation of the jumper. I like that change.
Maybe bish or someone who has the sim can chime in on CL.

The Thing with this is that, they can change next year. Keegan is okay this year but not 3 star. if does not level up I can see that dropping next year.
Mathurin I would say is for sure playing at @ 3 star level, but I doubt he will get to that 5.0 rating any time soon.
Chet hasn't played so I wont comment on him much , he has to stay healthy to even earn his rating so the question mark is out.

All facts. But for this year I think those ratings allow Boston to be way ahead of schedule. I had Toronto and New York as battling it out for the Atlantic Division title. Now, I think Boston is in the mix for it this season.
Now I’m very curious to see how they rate my young guys who are efficient and been producing this season (assuming it factors in for young players other than rookies).
If Bol and Murphy get a 3.0, Richards a 2.0/2.5 and Miles is in the game as a 3.5, then I can see making some of the commentary from my ranking look off base.

I think you team for sure will look better next year. If you make a tweak here and there you can set yourself up nice. Also comebacks from Klay and Dame will change everything if you decide to keep.
Bol Bol might end up being the craftiest trade of the year. You snagged him right before the word got out.
