Got a chance to listen to this while putting my daughter down for a nap last night. Good stuff and great insight. You two work pretty well together in a podcast setting.

I never had a great PG on the CSL teams I've had, I typically build from an elite SG/ SF position and work from there which is why I enjoy this challenge of building with a dominant C.

He's definitely not getting anywhere close to 30ppg this season. That first sim was meant to pump up his FGA as much as possible. I'd like to see him around 18-20ppg in 25-28mpg this season though. Like last season, my lineups will include Tyus and Monk staggered as much as possible, but this year I can surround them with lots of defenders so Monk shouldn't get burned too much this year. Also since he dropped from 200 to 190 pounds, his drive stop should be much better than last year. 180 is where I hope to get him, but at 190 the game shouldn't view him as fat.
