Resuming the series after slacking off for a few years. So with that said, we are back AGAIN!!!! We will be taking a look at who popped off and who the FBB Gods struck down.

Grand Prize Winners:
Name POS Age IN OUT HND Def Reb Total
Jerry Reynolds. SF 22 0 2 1 2 1 6
Hank Gathers PF 19 1 1 0 2 2 6
Nebojsa Zorkic*** PG 21 1 1 1 3 0 6
Just a few rookies doing what rookies do best--Having some insane TC's. Zorkic left the draft with the outright highest potential in the class and most definitely put that to good use. The foreign PG is in prime position to be a good prospect, but the only downside is that Silver is going to have to wait 3 seasons to use him. Imagine if he was eligible to come in and immediately get a DFox MVP mentor....would be a scary sight. Then we have the legend, Hank, however I didn't see his heart get an upgrade during TC so he may be in trouble. All jokes aside, being an A- A- in defense and rebounding is NUTTY for a rook. I'm always skeptical of posts that have D+/C-'s outside ratings as it means they will be limited scorers, but hopeful Hank is dynamic enough to over come that and become a Zion 2.0 build. As for good old Jerry, Dash will Dash with a DITR camp already used on him giving him +15 to POT before the TC sim. In hindsight, it was probably a smart play and now has a very solid SF prospect for the future.
Winners:
Name POS Age IN OUT HND Def Reb Total
Dino Meneghin** C 20 1 0 0 1 3 5
Sam Bowie C 20 1 0 0 2 2 5
Niko Galis** SG 19 1 1 2 0 1 5
Shaquille O'Neal C 20 1 0 0 2 2 5
Hugo Yimga Moukouri SF 23 1 2 0 1 0 4
Rasheed Wallace PF 19 0 1 0 2 1 4
Larry Drew Sr. PG 23 0 2 1 1 0 4
JJ Andrews. SG 24 0 1 2 1 0 4
Doug Overton PG 24 0 2 1 1 0 4
Penny Hardaway PG 19 0 0 3 1 0 4
As for the remaining winners, it is highlighted by the #1 pick Penny Hardaway. I was concerned with him rocking the C+ handles straight out of the draft. Yet Melo got bailed out during TC with him ending up at a B+, and now can focus fully on making him an elite scorer. Next we have Shaq making a HUGE bounce back from the subpar TC suffered in his rookie year. As mentioned above, big men with no outside shooting concern me as you have to cater your whole offense to an inside focus. I think he would benefit from defense and rebounding camps to truly make him dominant. My favorite player in this grouping is none other than Rasheed though. He is on track to be an absolute STUD and could potentially be one of the best all around PFs in the league. Initial thoughts are that he could be a Lauri mold with more focus on the defensive end. Would also like to highlight Sam Bowie and Dino. Feel both could be a 20+ ppg guys in just a few seasons.
Losers:

Scotty Middleton SF 27 -1 -1 -1 0 0 -3
Austin Reaves SG 33 -1 0 -1 -1 0 -3
Latrell Sprewell. SF 23 -1 0 -1 -1 0 -3
First and foremost, thank God John Collins is finally dead. That fucker at SG was NOT real. Next on the list we have a disappointing decline of Cody Williams, who has been one of the best SFs in the league lately. I almost overlooked Austin Reaves on this list and it appears a sad day has come. One of the best 3.0 SG's is nearing the end, his work was honest and damn good. May you enjoy the end of that contract you earned it buddy. Make sure to dish out a few mentors on your way out!

Proxy teams have risen up and taken over TC. Would like to note that the Rockets are a cursed franchise. How do they have like 4 top 10 picks on the roster and only walk away with a +1? FBB is hating on Hunt. As for me, I had limited youth but still capitalize enough for a +7. The division rival Grizzlies got absolutely DESTROYED, so it appears we will not be seeing Cantin Knight as a real player this go round. How did your team shake up????
