Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- Announcement on pg. 56

This guy is just an interesting player. Was intrigued by his three point shot and defensive playmaking in college and I think he's in the perfect spot for his development right now. He's going to get opportunities to expand his game.

Really liking what I've seen from my guys IRL. I'll be interesting to see how it translates to the sim.

Starters
Davion Mitchell – 10th in asts/game, hounding everyone on defense and super efficient on offense. Perfect guy to facilitate the Celtics’ selfless and up-tempo starting 5.
Jimmy Butler – 36 years old and still has not lost a step. 5th in win shares per 48.
Deni Avdija – Clearly made the jump to all-star level – 26.1/6.3/4.3 with 49/38/85 splits. STUD.
Scottie Barnes – He's leveled up; career highs in pts, fg%, steals, and blocks, and he’s actually hitting 3s(!!!).
RWIII – He’s playing! Career-average per-minute numbers, which is exactly what I need from him. Hopefully will work back to 20+ mpg as the season goes on.

Bench
Tre Jones – Incredible start – 13.3/4.0/5.5, 50/35/85, 4th in steals/game. Definitely seems worth what I paid for him.
Kevin Huerter – Red Velvet has his groove back – 14.6/3.9/3.0, 51 fg%, getting to the line.
Pelle Larsson – Love this kid. Tough, efficient, makes smart plays. Been in the starting lineup since game 4 and will be a solid rotational piece for a long time.
Collin Gillespie – 9.5/3.8/4.9, tough defender, nails 3s. Awesome luxury to have him sitting on my bench.
Maxime Raynaud, Noah Penda, Jase Richardson – All are stuck behind vets but have looked good in limited minutes. I’m confident they will each get opportunities to see the floor this year and make cases for much bigger roles in year 2.
Adiu Thiero – Might make his NBA debut tonight, and I’m excited to see what he can do. (Seems like Lakers fans are too.)
Tristan Vukcevic - Similar to the rookies. Put him in, coach!
(And then there’s Jarace Walker – Uhhh…looked good at first, but I'm not sure anyone in the NBA has had a more concerning last 2 weeks; I just hope it has not affected his sim ratings too much…)

Love the write up! You have been a great addition to BAF (thanks Cap) Most of your players will be reflected from there previous year stats. Its too early to typically overwrite a small 10 game sample size over 82 games of last year. It goes both way too...a really good player I wouldn't want the SIM to negatively impact if they had a 5-6 bad game stretch to start the year when they have a long history of being good either. I think sometimes they might tweak a couple really important no brainer breakouts.

Deni has been playing great you might not get the full jump right now but he had a really good season last year and he seems like a great building block. Good gamble on your end and on a really nice contract for how he impacts the game.

Give Amen credit where credit is due. More proof bullying in the NBA is beneficial.

rankings harder than I thought..

Had my first chance to look at the players ratings tonight.

15 players rated 90+ with one overall 100 rated player.
27 players rated 85-89.

12 players rated 90+ DEF including one 112 rated player, the highest individual rating I can ever remember seeing.

11 players rated 90+ SCR including at least one player who will surprise IMO.

I will start uploading rosters Monday. Also will reach out to teams about players who will need to be shifted to the EL due to not being in the game this year. There are 14 players that will have to move due to not being in the sim. All teams will need to be at the roster minimum of 13 players by Tuesday. This will include teams who will drop under 13 due to players moving to the EL.

Also, we have about half the teams submit ratings/survey responses. I will be working until about 6PM tomorrow and will begin putting everything together tomorrow night when I get home. So anyone who hasn't sent their stuff in can still do it until 6PM tomorrow.

Wemby 112, Dyson Daniels 111 seems most likely.

Surprise 90+ SCR is probably Simone Fontecchio.

Landry Shamet the surprise player with the 90+ scorer rating. Sim always one step ahead

I might need to eat crow on Clarkson but that might be one of the good crows

i can def see why he's a polarizing player for sure. pretty flawed and has a very questionable shot selection :lol:

but he's such a massive upgrade over cam payne you just have to live with it. i do think he was a bit underrated when we got him tho. he averaged like at least 16 ppg for the past 5 years or so for a reason
