Gonna be a pretty substantial update to the draft class when I sim later on and I just gotta say, I'm pretty much throwing out every bit of balancing that I've put in place the first 5-6 classes. This class will 100% be an all time great class in all of NBN history. We've had the chance for classes like this in 2.0 and 3.0 but declarations never came together like this. Absolutely no clue how to balance this. But yeah, this class is gonna be unbelievable. I probably shouldn't have added as many HOF freshman as I did but I cannot for the life of me believe it fell together like this. I also forgot guys like Mahamadou Langour, Caleb Holt, Renalto Villalta were as good as they are. Those guys could have been #1 pick type candidates in weaker classes but are here and gonna end up way down the list because of the stars in this class. And there are like 12-14 guys that at points in time in their IRL NBA careers were stars but not superstar/HOF level guys. Its nasty work how this shit came together. Next few classes will almost for sure be weak to make up for it but we have a really fun class to follow the next few years. It won't be just barren wasteland but I probably don't add a HOF level talent next year and the following year might bring 1 or 2 of the top pick candidates as HS Seniors to reduce the chance they declare. Excited for the update and to see an article about top picks There was the update with last night's sum. Draft has about 40 names in it. Should finish the names today and then get into some balancing and edits. Hope to start the draft on Tuesday. |

Possibly run draft lottery soon so we can make deals before draft starts and not hold up clock? |

Can someone remind me.. I have distant memories of there being like a pre-draft SIM where the draft class was auto drafted to teams with randoms and a season was simmed so we could scout and get a little live game action/ head to head.. was that in this league way back?? Or am I crazy

Or am I crazy Believe we did this near end of NBN 2 but idk if it ever got much traction and with everything that goes on in the offseason it might have just been too much. |

Nah pre draft camps were a staple until the end of NBN 2.0, its just so much work that I think Silver stopped doing it.

Ya that’s extremely valid.. it just made it so much easier to scout the later players outside of the top 5, but I can’t fathom how you guys run this league as it is, let alone extra shit like this or the old G League

I don’t really get why you would need to balance the draft, I thought that’s the risk with declarations, if a class is absolutely stacked then so be it and if there’s a class with majority of em busts then so be it as well. |
