[Tel Aviv]

Great work as usual. Nice job on all of these!

[London]

Another solid job scouting the first round.

Good work my man!

[Royale]

good work buddy

[Berlin]

Solid work here...plus I can see one of these players being a future Berlin 1st rounder. Other teams might be building around a big man...I think we are going to be building around our PG.

That could be a real good strategy.

They handle the ball the most. Serves to have the best player you can there. He's your QB.

[john rockwell]

I know that I've always had the most success when I've centered the team around the PG and struggled when I've tried to use the big man as the focal point.

This game is MUCH different.  I've done simulations during the first two days of the game and big men make a massive difference.  They are SO EFFICIENT (when dominant) that it's hard to overcome them.  Elite scoring bigs shoot 52-55% and score 23-25ppg on about 18 shots...crazy.

[john rockwell]

Wow that definitely is something good to know.

Right, so whoever has Cousy should trade him to me. Because, uh, we should all be building around big men and stuff. 

[San Antonio]

I will never trade Cousy 

[pelagius]

Volnov looks like he'll be very nice in a few years. 21 years old and still room to improve. Wont be good as Cousy though, but then again 90% of PGs wont be as good as Cousy.

[pendles]

Liking the look of Beckman, though only 3 PGs with Passing B+ or over is a bit disappointing.

Fats Jenkins only has C+ passing on my roster. I'm hoping that he ends up looking more like he did in the draft. Passing is definitely the rarest commodity in this league, perhaps right up there with perimeter defense.
