Im pretty impressed at how nicely the rating spike upward has been corrected. If you look around the league I think there are mediocre guys on good teams playing quite a bit. I think PG is a weak spot overall for lots of teams. I think the quality of scoring big men is pretty thin as well. I like it.
Thoughts?

I think we could have had a inflation problem but it looks real good right now for sure.

I'm impressed with how it looks right now.
Its always good to see young players get some time, adds to the excitement of the future.

I think the last 2 tc's have definitely corrected the problem. It was on an upward trend, last TC was slightly worse, and then this TC was pretty stagnant.

My awful TC is a good indicator.

I think the only thing is there are too many unrealistically dominant big men.
They're all in their late 20s though, so they were all from a few drafts early on, so its not a big deal.

yeah it is not bad. It seems though that all the good teams have such dominate players and all the rebuilding teams have a lot of shitty guys playing that it will be hard for them to compete. They are not really shitty as they are just not as dominate as the top caliber players. You could tell from this past TC alone. It should be interesting to see what happens but the ratings are definitely going down and I really do not see an inflation problem.

Lately the drafts have been better. Ratings are still overrated, but the activity and GM quality kinda drowns that high ratings aspect of the league.

I feel like we have 3-5 really bad teams that just look horrible. If the league were more balanced I think ratings would look fine overall.

You've done a solid job of rectifying the near-inflation problem that we had. Good work. It's hard to find a quality SG in this league (which isn't a complaint, but a good thing in my opinion). Guards are becoming scarce.

Guards are becoming scarce. Thats funny cause wings are the one position I never worry about having too many of. I think too many good PGs is the easiest problem to get into, and I think we are far from that. Lots of guys start PGs with TO problems because they cans till win with it.

100% agree with Maniac. Every position is good, if not too good, but the SG crop is shit.

I think youre still in the bottom 10 in overall talent, but no I wasnmt talking about you. Obviously Sacramento and Memphis are the best examples. They have almost no talent.

I think its better to have a rarity at certain positions. It makes building a good team tougher.

Conley is a good example that PG's have been controlled well recently.
B B B B+ pg, averaging 15/10 for his career and 18/8 his last two seasons.
Avery Bradley and Kemba Walker (both at a higher class) don't have astounding ratings but put up sick #'s. Good stuff spence!

PGs have calmed down recently, because there was one period where it seemed every good PG in the league was A- A- or better.

Mark and I were just talking about this 30 mins ago. I'm happy with ratings. I think a bit of an edge goes to vet-based teams because it's really a lot harder to rebuild now, but I like the lowering of ratings. I can say that I think I was expecting bigger things out of some of the guys I've drafted/built around, but that I'm really happy with where they are because those expectations were relative to past classes and TCs and not the general directions of ratings in the league. For instance, I look at a guy like Machata as a legitimate franchise piece going forward, whereas 4 seasons ago that probably wasn't the case.
It's cool. I like to see teams with good systems being able to compete on that alone, as opposed to there being a need to stack up on stars to be legitimate, and I think the former will be the case going forward. I like the ratings a lot right now, and I think as the superstars from earlier classes decline, it'll be interesting to see what kinds of ratings it takes to be good in BBS.

I know for a fact that I am not in the top, but I'm still new to this. I never expected to break into the top, and I still don't. I just wanna make it through the CY for now.
