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 It was an awesome idea and it helped a ton with activity.

Devereux St. Cloud- great player stupid name What's wrong with his name? I just don't understand this argument at all. I can agree that some prospects have too many glaring deficiencies, sure, but what the hell is wrong with their names? In real life people have a whole LOT of different names. Is that a realistic name for a person to have? Fuck no.

Really, show me an example of an awful prospect I have made. The issue isn't your prospects, even if Dan just kind of said that. His first paragraph of that post is 100% right IMO. Too many prospects with stupid deficiencies. A couple here and there is realistic/fine, but there have been way too many gimmicky guys. Not talking about your prospects either. I honestly don't know who creates what for the most part. I understand that. I have not done that with 90 percent of my prospects which is the problem here people attacking my prospects. I could give two shits about what DJ or Jay does with there prospects. Dan already has a less informed view of what is going on saying that I create an Irish guy every year. Devereux St Cloud, I made a french guy, gave him a french name. Fucking stick a dagger in my heart. I am sorry that Dan thinks it's a stupid name. Dan Basone is a stupid name. Who am I to say a name is stupid. I pick names based on the regions of the world where they come from. Once again shoot me. Next time I'll name my Romanian Center Paul White.

I thought it sounded cool. My bad.

So you know how all the players are going to turn out now? same stupid guys are being made. Guys with weird names, horrible ratings or huge problems like they suck at defense or they cant rebound and they are a big men. Just glaring problems and it is getting repetitive. We don't know how they will turn out but half of these guys will sucks anyway. Last years draft showed us that. You keep creating these irish type of names, one or two was fine but damn every year, or st.cloud i mean it is dumb imo. This is hilarious to me. I guess it would be better to have al centers be A- C C A- A-? All wings be A- A- C A- C+ And all point guards be C A- A- A- C I love the variety of ratings. I love that you can still find guys with weird ratings sim better then guys with traditional ratings. I also dont mind the fake names. I think that when we got into movie names it was annoying, but Ive had no problem with fake names at all. Youre all too fickle. You need to chill out and enjoy it as opposed to getting picky.

honestly i love the idea of everyone having a bit of say in who comes into the league and its unknown if the guy will be a stud or a bust but with draft notes, mock draft, and player profiles you can do your share of scouting and speculating.
I'd prefer we don't go to retro, I don't want to have all old guys and then you know who is going to be good.

That is cool that you add some in there every now and then, but it is like 90 percent of the prospects you have made are from parts of the country and it gets to a point where it is just dumb. Take it for what you will. And I mean by this that their names are just absurd since they are from all over.

Many people have had St. Cloud in their name. Is it impossible for their to be a Devereux St. Cloud? Is Dirk Nowitzki a dumb name? Nene? Kelenna Azubuike? Javaris Crittenton? Yakhouba Diawara? Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Luc Richard Mbah a Moute? Should they all have to change their names to something like Mike Smith before being permitted to play professional basketball? A name is a name. There are millions and millions of different names in our very fine world.

Never understood the "we know how they will turn out" argument. So many examples in this league to disprove that. Why was Paul Pierce so much better than Kobe?

Yea looking around the league its so different there are very few complete studs. There are guys who are great scoring but suck on defense and vice versa. I see a ton of role players around the league and its definitely cool.

Now we have a league full of more realistic, less ideal players.

When was the last time we had a dominate big men, a dwight howard, kevin garnett, a shaq, etc, all these guys can never be that good because they only block shots, they only rebound, they cant score.
