Good morning to only this 4.5 star player

I expect a couple of adjustments but not a bad start..

Wall- 3 stars
Hield- 3 stars
JJJ- 3 stars
AntMan- 3 stars
Capela- 3.5 stars
Ingram- 3.5 stars
Morant- 4 stars

Looks like only 2 players in the rotation, Thybulle and McGee, will not be 3 stars, but hopefully Thybulle scores a 90+ defensive rating

Westbrook averaged 23/12/12 I can't be the only one that realized there was no way this sim would lower him from 5 stars given how much love it shows him. Hell I did a bad job betting it wouldn't lower Ben under 4 stars too but injured players/players holding out were not safe this year.

He's shooting like 32% from deep the last 2 years so his rating probably isn't bad. And he's figuring it out in LA so I expect him to stay 5 stars.

this sim loves players who put up numbers in every category. that's why randle got a really high rating too. i think this is the first year i seen players take a hit cause of injuries. happened to me with murray too.

With all due respect, one of these is not like the others.

Actually four of them are not like the others...AD, LeBron, Vuc. and Westbrook.

You guessed right on Westbrook. 5 Stars is a All NBA Team. I don't think the biggest Laker homer would say Westbrook deserves that.

Luka still is and will always be LeBron’s stepson.

Luka will always be the NBA's version of the Pillsbury Dough Boy; but the kid can play.

Even Maverick fans are admitting Luka is having a bad season by his standards. LeBron is a All Star still but the All NBA talk needs to end.

Westbrook has a BAF ring. He’s not worried about the critics! Lol

Only in memory of his past excellence. LeBron is 7th in points, 13th in assist, and 102nd in rebounding. In my opinion, he is possibly still in the top 10.

LeBron is playing a lot more power forward this season and those rebounding numbers are pitiful. I also think that is one of the reasons the Lakers are a average team. They were much better with him almost exclusively at point guard.

Exactly. The only knock on Bron that is legitimate is that Father Time is undefeated, so he’s been getting injured at a higher rate than ever before. But he is still a top 3 player in the league whenever he’s on that court.
