Good luck with your Association! I'd love to see how your Pistons go compared to mine, since we're both using '12-'13 rosters. Will be keeping an eye on this one, definitely.

Greg Monroe, Pistons' Center, started working on his rebounding skills, just a few days before the start of the season. This young Center definitely wants to improve and help his team in the quest for the Ring as much as he can. Reportedly, he said he wants to be one of the best centers in the league and he will give all in to achieve his goal.

He's on a good way. Today, he spent over 6 hours, practicing mostly catching rebounds. His teammates, Will Bynum, Brandon Knight and Jason Maxiell helped him and they were all satisfied and positive about Monroe's working ethics and effort.

Jason Maxiell, 7-year vetaran said :

I like Monroe's will to improve and win. He's a young guy and this is only his third year in the league, so there is much room for the improvement. He definitely has what it takes to be a champion - he has a heart, will and skills. We will see how it will reflect on the floor in this season.

Brandon Knight, on Monroe and himself :

Monroe and I are one of the youngest guys in the league. We were also high draft picks and people expect much from us. We will surely give our best not to disappoint them. Greg is a good guy, I'm sure he will develop his skills on the highest level and be one of the best players. We've been working together for a long time now, and it's been good. Now we just need to show what we got when it counts and we will be great.

We took a sneak peek on the practice and here are two photos we took during it.





Player improvements :

+1 Defensive rebound
+1 Offensive rebound
+4 Vertical

I'm waiting for REDitor II licence. When I get it, I'll start posting game boxscores, stories etc. I need it to generate stats with NBAStatsTracker.

Make sure to follow the tutorial on how to use NBA Stats Tracker with NBA 2K12 to get your box scores and correct the team stats!



Really nice to see someone use NST for an Association Story. Looking forward to this!

Yeah, I checked it out already. I'll try to make it all work.
Big thanks to you for the tutorial and for such an amazing tool!

Damn, still haven't received licence, I thought it's gonna be much sooner.

Vl@d did say you'll have to wait a couple of days.

I'm just unpatient

Earlier today, Pistons' Guard Brandon Knight tweeted :



We wish him a good luck with his next season, let's see how he and his team will be doing!
