Rookie first impressions

[8timechamp]

Class looks very good. Maybe too good..

[hardenwithnod]

Rating wise this class is very ready, but the draft guys did a good job by placing weaknesses/bad preferences to force GMs to develop them properly.

[Dennis]

I see only one weakness and that is DI.

I wouldn't get too excited until we are around the All-Star break and start seeing this class field goal percentages.

I don't think that that would suggest much for a large portion of this class as a lot of them need to develop their shot and almost every player needs pref work

I'm not talking about the overall field goal percentage but the decomposed ones. Hopefully the preferences bug has been fixed in DDS3, otherwise this could mean trouble as you cannot instruct a player to dunk.

[Dennis]

That bug is fixed. However, you cant instruct players to dunk,

[mgtr81]

That bug is fixed.

Good to know.

Please with what I saw:

#15 Cory Joseph looks already really solid and if it wasn't for his shot, would start immediately
#27 Once Teletovic will lose a bit of weight, he will be deadly as SF backup
#51 I still cannot believe I could pick up Ennis that late
#57 Wasn't planning to keep Motiejunas but he seems to be a really decent bench player

You had a phenomenal draft dude. Value picks across the board

[hardenwithnod]

I am sure Justin Harper isn't that efficient, but he does have some intriguing ratings lol.

I was kind of hoping some team would give him huge minutes, just to see what his stats look like. The percentages and advanced stats would be absolutely hilarious

[hardenwithnod]

Haha yeah, he will get some minutes off the bench. I'm a little intrigued.

For us Emmanuel Mudiay was the prize of our offseason and looks pretty raw right now. He's pretty good defensively as a 19 year old though. E'Twaun Moore was worth the haul we gave up for him, sick ratings all around with no clear weaknesses. Austin Rivers is better on defense then expected and a pretty good ball handler and Joffrey Lauvergne can board and looks to be a very good low post threat. Finally Jon Leuer was great value in the second round, I need to see in game but he's a quality backup stretch 4 already.


General Comments:

Wow, Ish Smith might not have much potential left (I haven't checked in game) but he's a BEAST to start. Great pick by Jestor. MEM had a very underrated draft picking up a defensive stopper in Jae Crowder who has a pretty good offensive game (or at least ratings) and Jonathon Simmons at 20 was great value too. DAL used their picks wisely (trading/picking) and Kristaps Porzingis should be ready day 1. Boban Marjanovic might be the rookie of the year, seems similar to Andre Drummond with worst defense which ain't bad at all. Haven't looks at everyone's picks but those stood out for me.

[8timechamp]

Bojan looks really good, if he can develop more offensively he will be a Peja Stojakovic clone.

Yeah he would fit nicely on the Magic.
I have too many scorers so maybe we can work something out down the road.

Kind of what Dennis says, except for a very few players, this class is mostly ready now. I believe you are having these impressions because you think these players can develop 5-8 points per skill.. Most of them won't develop like 2-3 points.

Which is great, I cant deny that some of my classes have been too raw..
