I don't like the way Conley been playing. Might have to switch some stuff up to unlock him a little more.

Tired of my team always starting off the season with a bunch of injuries tho. Luckily they usually recover halfway through
Facts. I could use Trent vs OKC tomorrow, but probable for 2 days.
You might need him big homie. Embiid needs all the help he can get.

His scoring was going to be high. The efficiency of the duo and the team defense was always my issue with the Jazz. So far Utah is 0-2 and they probably should've beat the Lakers. MP will figure it out, but in enough time to get a top 8 seed in the West? IDK.

what a lot of people also don't factor in is real life situation vs sim situation.
for example, because zion plays with mccollum, ingram, and valanciunas in real life, he's less likely to drop 50. there are too many weapons on that team for him to "go off" on a regular basis.
however, he's still a really prolific scorer. so put him on a SIM team where he only has 1 other player to offensively explode along with, he's a lot more likely to do so.
same if you take CJ mccollum. put him on a SIM team where there's only 1 other scorer for him to compete with, instead of 2-3 others, he's more likely to score a lot more.
that's why i think the SIM does a good job of giving us, technically, a hypothetical situation of certain players: "what would happen if player XYZ took control of a team on their own."
that's why, last season, my boy Jimmy was #1/#2 in MVP voting for our SIM. i had NO ONE else on my team, so Jimmy had to take every shot, grab every rebound, make every assist

just need a PAS and HDL rating of 70+, and at least 2-star.
i have a few guys i can move in january
Pritchard is on the block. 85 Hdl, 83 3fg. Only 42 pass?
ah, appreciate it. PAS is more important for me. Bledsoe is my starting PG. has a 70ish rating for HDL, but his PAS is only 50ish.
i need 70+ PAS because i have scoring from 3 other players, and would rather have a starting PG who passes a bunch.
thanks though, deez

I wasn't specifically talking about Utah as a team the west is really tough... suns just proved that too...nearly every team in the west is going to give you a game on every night...the whole league has strong parity this year.
I think when the ratings came out I said if they don't adjust his SCR Zions might be a SIM beast I think you mentioned there is a certain type of player that gets effected by the SIM and Zions shot charts...ect. that was what I was referencing.

Oh I know, what I'm saying is because Zion plays with those other scorers usually his PPG is lower so his SCR will be lower. Since the SIM didn't knock him down after his injury they not only didn't mess with his scoring they brought him up from the 80's to like 93...so he even got more SCR and like you said he is now the #1 option with hardens scoring going down on Utah so he should have a huge year.

Oh yeah I was down on his efficiency. Still am. He'll be closer to 50% from the field than 60 which is still great of course but not real life Zion.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 6) Regular Season Thread
First real test today. If I can beat New Era or keep it close that 60 win season looks way more likely.
