Armen Gilliam.
Armen was the 2nd pick in his respective draft in real life and although he ended up playing 13 years, he really never lived up to the bill. He understands his IRL performance may affect his NBN draft stock, but he wants to prove to the team that drafts him that he's a worthwhile investment and has what it takes to be a contributor early and often. If drafted in the top 10, Gilliam will get a free +5 to any attribute (not potential). Also, if Armen plays enough games and minutes to get the +5 potential boost after his rookie season, that potential can be doubled to +10. He is only eligible if he plays 70+ games and 30+ minutes his rookie season. If he plays any less than 30 minutes, he will not be eligible to double his potential boost.
Dejan Tomasevic***
Tomasevic is coming off a championship in the top league in his native Serbia and feels as if his performances in a grown man's league at just 19 should warrant him discussion amongst the elites of the draft. He's so sure of this that he was quotes as saying "требало би да идем у првих пет", roughly translated to "I should go top five". If Tomasevic's vote of confidence for himself is echoed by an NBN GM and he goes in the top 5 of the draft, he will be rewarded handsomely by way of work ethic and will be eligible for one free improvement camp for each of the three years he's overseas, free of camp limit/history requirements.
Nikola Djurisic
This Serbian thinks he deserves to be listed as both a SG and SF with the size and shooting ability he has but in the end he wants to focus on one position and stick to that. The team that drafts Nikola will have that choice, they can keep him at SG and he will receive +3 To Jumpshot and 3PT shot or they can choose to move him to SF for 500$ and he will receive +3 inside scoring and +3 strength. Once his position is decided which must be down before the end of his rookie deal he will not be allowed to switch back.
Brad Daugherty
Nicknamed "The Hooch" Brad was a former number 1 overall pick but according to some draft reports he may not live up to his former number 1 pick standards. Brad is determined to prove the haters wrong and if drafted inside the top 3 he can instantly add +5 to potential and + 5 to inside scoring. Furthermore if he makes the All Rookie First team he can have his End of the year potential gains doubled.
Chuck "The Rifleman" Person
Chuck is one of those players who has so much knowledge of the game of basketball. Playing 14 seasons in the NBA following that with a 17 year coaching stint. Safe to say Chuck knows his way around the court and he's willing to share knowledge with his teammates. For any camp that Chuck is sent to during his Rookie contract he can bring a player along and they will receive +1 increase to any rating he's improving. For Example if hes sent to 2 3PT Camps Person will receive the normal +2 Jump shot and +4 3PT shot but the teammate he brings can add + 2 to either jump shot or 3PT shot.
Teodor Simic*
Coming in as the rawest prospect, scouts have already given up on him, saying his room for improvement is negligible at best. With no rating above C+, Simic would be lucky to even be drafted. But, if he's lucky enough to be drafted, he'll show his team his worth. If drafted in the first round, Simic will be eligible for two unique opportunities during his time overseas. The first opportunity will be working on a specific rating of your choice, giving him a +5 to any attribute of your choosing. Second, Simic can be mentored by any big man with an all star appearance during his year overseas. The cost of the mentor camp is the same, and will not show on his camp history. Along with this, if the player who mentors him has an All League first team selection, his potential will be reset to a full A, maxing out his potential completely.
Babacar Mbye
After leading the pre-draft camps in both PPG and RPG, 30 year old Babacar Mbye is making a real case to be one of the gems of the draft, but he'll need a GM who is willing to give him a chance. If Mbye ends up playing significant minutes on a competitive team, he'll get credit from the media and his coaching staff, with that coming a lot of extra attention in practice. If Mbye plays 20+ MPG in 60 or more games on a team that ends .500 or better at the end of his rookie season, his GM can elect to shorten his camp window from four seasons to three in favor of double camps in his sophomore year.
Bryce McGowens
In college McGowens looked like a big man in a small pond as he competed on a losing record Nebraska team where he was the only guy who could truly get his own shot. This has scouts worried about how good he actually is. McGowens needs an iron sharpening iron type situation. McGowens can be sent to a special mentor camp where he is mentored by 2 guys(both need to be eligible to be a mentor). Instead of +12 split evenly, McGowens will get +18 split evenly between each mentors top 3 ratings(+3 each) AND be eligible for two add-ons if both mentors are add on eligible. This camp will cost $1500 instead of $1000. It counts as a full mentor camp for his career and the only camp he can receive that season. One of the players needs to be a SG and the other can be any position.
Mitch Richmond, Jerry Rice, Jaden Ivey, Reggie Miller
This draft is weak overall but is one of the best shooting guard classes we've ever had. These four are the best of the bunch and are already trash talking each other in the draft process. Any time one of these four face off with another one, the winner of the matchup and the game will receive a bonus. The player whose team wins will receive +1 to any rating, including athletics and potential. The player who scores more points between the two will receive an additional +1 to any rating, including athletics and potential. This note is only valid the first two season of their career. To claim either reward, both players must play in at least 28 minutes or have one player foul out.
Roy Tarpley
After Pre draft camps Roy showed he’s ready to be considered a top pick and is ready to help his new team turn things around. All first team and all first defensive team Roy wants to continue to improve on the defensive end. Any Camp during his rookie contract Roy is sent to where a defensive rating is added he is able to add +1 to Stealing and +1 to blocking (doubled if sent to Two camps)
