For the 2024 draft, since it's the last one before retro, maybe we do a re-do draft.
This would include guys that hardly had BBS careers and were disappointments/busts, such as Jordan Hill, Ty Lawson, Johnny Flynn, James Johnson, Eric Maynor, Terrence Williams, Daequan Cook, Leandro Barbosa (I'm pretty sure he was worthless in this version of BBS), Javale McGee, Wilson Chandler...even guys like Rondo, Brook Lopez, Devin Harris who were just disappointing in BBS.
It would also include interesting college players who never were in BBS but would be cool to see--Seth Curry, Sherron Collins (don't remember him being in BBS) come to mind.
Honestly, I'm pretty tired of the way the recent drafts have been designed--ratings and names are frustrating, and I think it would be cool to see Spence take total control of ratings in a boom or bust draft that would be filled with sleepers and busts and above all, interesting names.

I was literally thinking an hour ago about how I hope Rondo/Harris become superstars the next time they're in the league.

Stanley Robinson could be a Roe-type defender.

Definitely. That reminds me that we could get a few nice prospects off of Michigan St.

I don't like mixing up the eras. We can make it so MJ comes out a year early, Hakeem a year late, etc, but it'd be stupid if a guy from 2004 comes out a year after Jerry West.

If your gripe is ratings then things have been unorthodox and I agree. Onto the topic of names ITS A FUCKING NAME JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. HOW CAN A FUCKING NAME BE FRUSTRATING. IT IS SO FUCKING RIDICULOUS PEOPLE GOING CRAZY OVER NAMES. I UNDERSTAND IF THE NAME IS LIKE SUPERMAN OR WOLVERINE OR SOMETHING BUT HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE SO MANY FUCKING ISSUES OVER THE NAME OF A PLAYER. IF A GUY IS NAMED MONGO MONGO OR JIM BROWN IT WON'T AFFECT THE WAY HE PLAYS. PEOPLE LIKE TO BE CREATIVE AND MAKE INTERESTING PEOPLE. WHAT FUCKING FUN IS IT TO MAKE A DRAFT PROSPECT NAMED JIM WHITE EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Cool idea though (Rant was not intended solely at Aaron)

i actually like the idea of making up the draft classes ourselves and I would like to avoid retro league. It was so fun doing this past draft class because you have an idea of who could be good but you truly don't know how they will pan out. Thats so realistic its so awesome.
I say we keep making up prospects
