Rosters are taking a lot longer than I had anticipated but I got started on it, even downloaded Rookie cyberfaces from modders, etc.

Couple screenshots I took of a test game:

Who needs rank 70, 82 rating John Collins?!

Man is about to feast this year. A real pg in Harden, Kawhi taking up attention, Zubac backing him up on defense, Beal as the floor spacer, 39% from three, 52% from the field…age 27

Feeling good about how the roster shaped up.

Got my main guys in their primes in Fox/OG/Siakam all on expiring contracts so I can pick and choose who to bring back next year based on their IRL play.

Got a decent core of youngsters to usher in the next era of Atlanta Hawks BAFsketball Dyson, Lively, Wells and LeBron James.

Good glue guys like Melton, Robert Williams, Lowry.

And even a few playable guys filling out the 11th-15th roster spots in Olynyk, Horton-Tucker, Fontecchio.
ATL
De'Aaron Fox / Kyle Lowry / Bronny James
Dyson Daniels / De'Anthony Melton / Talen Horton-Tucker
OG Anunoby / Jaylen Wells / Baylor Scheierman
Pascal Siakam / Simone Fontecchio / Adou Thiero
Dereck Lively II / Robert Williams III / Kelly Olynyk
