Nachbar: 2.1 and 3.1ppg in last 2 years.
Lue: 10.5ppg, 8.6 ppg in the last 2 years.
Bob Sura probably should be in mid 50's for rebounding, at the moment he is 1 better then Piatkowski.
Also Mark Jackson should be on the Rockets roster he hasnt retired yet. Might as well put him on the roster as the rockets currently have 14 players.
I made those changes
. The reason is that you have to look past the stat sheet to see the real value in Boki and Lue. Lue was hands down the worst starter in the league last year. He is flat out terrible. Boki meanwhile is going to get an expanded role building off of last season. He's their best backup 2 and 3 and is definitely better all-around than Lue (thus, the higher rating). He does just about everything well on the court except hit a consistent jumper. 55 isn't all too high when you compare it to other players in the L. Also, I played with him and IMO, the ratings are very good when he's user-controlled.
HAWKS al harrington starting sf. he wanted out of pacers to be a starter. antoine walker works in the perimeter so harington can work on the low post.
While the lineup maybe Harrington at SF, IMO he should be at PF in the game. Why? Because IRL, he'll be int he post and Walker on the perimeter (like you said). The AI in Live 04 just doesn't like bringing big men like Walker out a lot. Thus, playing him at 3 and Harrington at the 4 would produce a more realistic game.
PACERS stephen jackson starting sg. reggie miller off the bench.
I am 99% sure Reggie will start. However, I thought about it and the likelihood of Miller playing significant minutes IRL is slim...and if he starts the AI will be obessed with playing him a lot (instead of doing what the Pacers will - limited minutes, most coming in the 4th). So right now it's realistic lineup vs number of minutes. And in the past, I've opted for number of minutes.
lucious harris release to make room for jabari smith. i heard he will not return to the team along with rodney rogers.
We clash here again
. I don't see any signs Harris will be released. I've heard rumors, but those have died. Harris is their most experienced 2 (including years and knowledge of the system) so I don't understand why they would release him.
KNICKS jamal crawford starting sg.
Just like Miller's case, I'm 99% sure Houston will start, unless he gets injured. Mostly it's another classy move and also, JC can be backup at both the 1 and 2.
SONICS vladimir radmanovic higher 3pt to low-mid 50's.
I thought Vlad was already had a 3 pt sign? Either way, it's gotta be in the 70s. He makes 1.8 pg at 37%...that's very good.
RAPTORS jalen rose starting sg bec he's a good ball handler. vince carter starting sf.
Heh, I made this change. Vince is equally adept at handling the ball, if not better, but that's besides the point (plus, the traditional SF should be a good ball handler). This is a very minor issue, but I'm anal retentive.....Rose
will be the SF and Vince the SG, if Alston starts which he should. Rose is not only bigger and slower (thus, more realistic matchups in the game), but whenever he hasn't played PG last year (which was dumb in itself), he played SF.
Heh, shrwnt we just don't agree on a lot of things do we?
BTW, I feel Fisher will start over Claxton. I feel Claxton
should start over fisher, as he's the clear cut better
point guard. I don't think you can lose (or I guess from the responses the past few rosters, win) here.
Again, great work Andrew
