3055 Rookie Ladder (450 views)

[eric]

preseason

I want to start off by saying that these evaluations are as always solely based on stats, and my personal feelings about any person play no role. It's not personal.

I want to continue starting off by saying that this is an unusually excellent class of rookies and so I expect the order to change quite a bit as the season goes on.

I want to end starting off.

.

.

1. Handsome Pete



"Accidentally" became SF eligible when Pete "forgot" to include /C in his draft "profile". Those lies and six dollars will get you fourteen chicken McNuggets in Union Station. In a class full of slick scorers Pete stands at the top even if only barely with a cool 1.15 xpts/tsa/VORPshare/real, and he's doing it with an elite Jump Shot which bodes extremely well for even further growth. That his already very good defense doesn't excel in this class is a testament to how 4.0-killing game-breaking well reflective of reality it is, and ten rebounds from the small forward position never hurts. The only tiny flaw so far is his Handling could be a little higher. Good luck prying this rapturous total package from the Celtics GM's cold, bloodless grip.

.

2. Eric Hofmann



Another slick scorer but this time at the prestige PG position. HOFmann isn't the total package Pete is, he leaves a lot more to be desired on the rebounding front and is operating at an 8 Charisma deficit at least, but the stubborn defensiveness has a chance to be special at 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per 36 minutes. Another nick keeping him below mint condition is that his Passing attribute is currently microscopic, and as that grows it'll sap his scoring volume and pump his turnovers, but assuming concomitant Handling growth they shouldn't be a big deal. Years of lambasting heavyreign threw a monkey wrench in his TC, but the damage is not too bad.

.

3. [Just] Yawn



At last a sim player with the first name [Just] who's worth a minimum contract. The pride of the Pacers is yawning down Pete's neck for most efficient scorer in the class, and unlike the robot his rebounds aren't mediocre. Goes to sleep on the defensive end but some kind TCs should bring out at least a league average defender. Clips of his handling prompt inexplicable roared obscenities from the crowd, but overall it's merely good. Everyone in the top three is a legit game changing foundational superstar you can build a championship team around as the #1 go to guy option.

.

4. Tim Pig





The blue line to half court centre circle ¡allez hop! Prince of Wales Subconference Co-Champion connection pays off for GM "Carolina" 'Canes, as he lands a player who is at worst a better Kobe Maggette and at best a worse Patrick Ewing. You gotta be careful with these low scoring sports players especially in preseason, but if the efficiency is there spurring on the volume isn't hard.

.

5. Sean Stoner



Knockoff Shaun Stowner presents a truly odd assortment of talents. He can't score with volume or efficiency, but he drills free throws. His rebounding is a little low for a forward, but his defense looks Shu Covington-esque. And even from the small forward position he's the class king of handles. There are enough elite skills here for The Big Commish to become a real star, but it's gonna take a lot of work and a lot of luck.

.

6. Josh Dutt



As a plus scorer Dutt is very close to breaking into the upper three, and you gotta figure that clean Christian living will make him better suited to the rigors of a long sim season than the flamboyant proclivities of Judaism, the ceaseless perfectionism of robotics, and the perverse adultery of the Yawninites. At the same time, being ahead a rebound is worth way less than being behind a block, so he needs to not only catch up but leapfrog in scoring efficiency. Not the grisliest of outlooks, but were you a bettor you wouldn't expect a couver.

.

7. JeSuis Herb



Pacers suck.

.

8. Ward Dunn



Like Dutt but without the rebounding. He's an easy max player and he's only #8 on the ladder. What a class. This hasn't royally screwed up the league at all.

.

9. Chase Kepler



A great TC made Kepler look like the bee's knees. On the court the picture is a little more anemic, but he's giving you strong defense and handles. Jump Shot / Three Shot is backwards from optimal, but the Jump Shot SC he gets should help solve the scoring volume concerns too, so it's not that big of a redheaded flag.

.

10. Rodney Landrum



A software guy, Rodney's defense is iffy but the scoring is too absurd not to give him a brief nod. Hopefully next update we can make it a clean sweep for humans general managers.

JHB per 36:

36 ppg, 21 rpg, 3.6 bpg on 1.233 pts/tsa

Not top 10

Can't explain that

[SPL]

I guess after seeing preseason, I made the right call in keeping Lebron and not sending him in a package for Sean Lavs

[BKay Jewelers]

Booooooooo

day 30

.

1. Handsome Pete SF - LR #1



Isn't giving you the efficiency of preseason yet but the d/r package is still there. Apparently a 7'1" 290 lb small forward with A- Inside is good, who knew.

.

2. JeSuis Herb PG - LR #7



I read one time that actually, Judaism actually has two Gods, that's why their logo is two triangles superimposed, an up and a down. At any rate, Judaism has two sim Gods in this rookie class. Pete gets Audrey Tautou obviously (French Canadian) so that leaves Commish Tom Hanks, and it's a beautiful day in the simborhood. You'd like a little more defense but the handles are already sharp and should grow to elitely sublime levels, and you can't pec the scoring. It's impeccable.

.

3. Josh Dutt SG - LR #6



It's the duty of every man to strive for his ceiling. Josh doesn't have the heights of other prospects in this class, but on the other hand he could go +0 in every TC from here to the time beyond the horizon (Mark 3:29) and he'd still be a max player.

.

4. Eric Hofmann PG - LR #2



He came into the league filled with energy, but the shtick is wearing a little thin now. By Outside Grade he's not even a league average scorer anymore. [bill simmons] Hey Eric Hofmann can you get one rebound a quarter? Is that too much to ask? Allen Iverson is great so stats are stupid! [/bill simmons] With his scoring volume and Jump Shot you gotta figure the efficiency should come back up, and he still has the best defensive stats in class of perimeter players. Worth noting for HOF and doppelganger Herb is that both play on teams with one other elite volume scorer, so their ludicrous volume isn't entirely Adam Morrison Syndrome.

.

5. Alex Lopez C - LR unranked



Didn't play in preseason. Typical late arriving Miami HEAT fan am I right folks. Is putting up truly absurd d/r numbers, not turning it over, and scoring at microscopic volume with intergalactic efficiency. Can't put too much stock in the efficiency yet but if it's real, +16 to the scoring attributes could possibly just might get him to perhaps actual volume, maybe.

.

6. Ethan Harris PF - LR unranked



Suns remains stacked! The scoring catches the eye but the real importance is in the blocks. E-Har was in the high 2s per 36 in preseason, if 4s are legit he's an entirely different player, all together.

.

7. Ward Dunn SG - LR #8



Still here on the strength of his preseason, I don't care about any of his regular season numbers. If he doesn't get more PT and the class remains as strong he probably won't be on here long. w2d get at your boy gbg.

.

8. Hulk Hogan Hedge-Hell SG - LR unranked



Dudley Three D, meet Triple H Hedge-Hell. Good enough d/r numbers, good enough handles, electric scoring efficiency. With no preseason we have to take the sample with a grain of salt, but still, in most classes he'd get the Alredick Hughes memorial #6 spot.

.

9. Robert Hack C - LR unranked



Barely played in preseason but is putting up elite d/r numbers now. B+ Rebounding seems unlikely to sustain 13.6 reb/36, but with such low scoring volume he could have tanked Strength - this ain't your daddy's Robert Strong.

.

10. Sean Stoner SF - LR #5



Unanimously voted the class most likely to keep being a weird prospect, and it shows. Handles have dipped to merely excellent, defense down a little, scoring efficiency up a little but still below average, rebounding even better. Nick Young question marks?

1. JeSuis Herb PG - LR #2



47 pts per 36 at 1.1 pts per tsa seems pretty good guys. That works out to .023 36 per tsa, you can't argue with that. Unless; you're a semiphobe.

.

2. Handsome Pete SF - LR #1



Pete's out here averaging a 27-10-2-1-1.2-0-0 (pts-reb-blk-stl-ast-dq-going to union station) and he's justifiably #2. What a class.

.

3. Alex Lopez C - LR #5



The efficiency has dipped to only average for a big fella, but those blocks and boards oh baby. If CompuGM doesn't drop +16 to A-Lop's Inside Scoring I'll eat a whole paper towel full of granola, yes that is too a thing.

.

4. Josh Dutt SG - LR #3



Still solid all the way across the board. If you were to graph his skills on the four main axes you'd get a big X. X stands for Jesus. Solve for Jesus. Where do we start with a man who is bigger than Yawn was when Yawn did his baptism thing?

FOOLS!!

You have no perception! The odds we are gambling are frighteningly high. We must crush him completely! So like Yawn before him this Josh Dutt must die.

There's only one God ma'am, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't dress like that.





What was I talking about?

.

5. Eric Hofmann PG - LR #4



Continues to wear out his welcome with too much posting up and not hitting enough of his shots. Has proven to have less catastrophic of a handle than previously shown, but maybe if he spent less time in his mom's basement graphing a Fourier transform of his human penis he'd have more'n mediocre FG%, widely known to be the only relevant measure of efficiency as demonstrated by HoFers Xavier McDaniels.

.

6. Ethan Harris PF - LR #6



Keep this man away from sleds (MORE LIKE ETHAN FROME ROFL LMBO) and get him a GM spot! He blocks! He boards! He scores! Preseason is still holding him back but Lopez better "watch" himself in the "face-off" "circle" for this "hooligan" "double minor" #Gretzky #GreatOne #hockeysports

.

7. Em Jay SG - LR unranked



Really excellent efficiency. Doesn't bother all that much defending his moves, and you'd like to see him put in a little more effort, but sometimes you need a guy who doesn't care that much to keep the team moving.

.

8. Sean Lavs SF - LR unranked



LeBron better be looking over both his shoulders, Sean Lavs is up to league average efficiency with a decent d/r package. GMs have expressed concern off the record about a rookie prospect missing games due to cirrhosis, but how many podcasts have they hosted, huh? That's what I thought.

.

9. Robert Hack C - LR #9



Gotta get back. Back to the pack. Sam or Bob Hack. Great d/r man. Look you gotta tip your cap to Herb, he's really made offensive big men viable again by nerfing blocks. Guys aren't just waltzing into the league with 4+ blk/36 anymore. It's more of a pachanga.

.

10. Buster 5000 C - LR unranked



The defense is a little hit or miss, but get the salt shaker rock in this guy's hands and you better watch it.

Word on the street is this is his ceiling, as his pot is pretty low.

Oh okay, he's not going to get much better. That's good since he's the best scorer in the history of sim league.

My understanding of the sim is that once true potential is less than the players current rating, their ratings will mostly decrease during TC to get closer to the true pot?

[Face-in]

JeSuis Herb is fine as is. He was designed to be an elite scorer and to bring destruction upon 4.0. Leave him alone.

1. JeSuis Herb PG - LR #1



I Am Shuttlesworth, eat your heart out.

.

2. Handsome Pete SF - LR #2



The gap is not very big to #1 for Pete. He's obviously a much better defender/rebounder, and on a team with the great Dirk Nowitzki and the great Max Bing touches are hard to come by, so the volume gap isn't as big as it seems, plus Pete's Passing isn't likely to grow much. If the efficiency gap closes we'll have a real interesting year end final ladder.

.

3. Eric Hofmann PG - LR #5



HOFmann's efficiency and rebounding continue to be middling, but I love the D. He won't catch Pete at Union Station or anywhere else, and I'm not so sure I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't caught by someone below him, or not. What a Cinderella story.

.

4. Hulk Hogan Hedge-Hell SG - LR unranked



Solid across the board. Just a reliable type of player, you know what you're getting. With the blocks has real elite ceiling. Reminds me of a young Mario Elie.

.

5. Josh Dutt SG - LR #4



More of a traditional steals build guard, also has a bit of the fumble fingers. With all these top five guys the efficiencies are what'll prove out in the end, and we won't be able to know that until a few more TCs/SCs/RCs.

.

6. Ethan Harris PF - LR #6



He should probably be higher but he's never once answered a trade PM. Karma.

.

7. Ward Dunn SG - LR unranked



Slot Ward next to Mitch and it looks like the Pistons rebuild will be... Dunn soon. ⌐■_■

.

8. Em Jay SG - LR #7



Like the scoring, don't get how drafting all those lotto bigs Jay still can't rebound. Makes you wonder.

.

9. Alex Lopez C - LR #3



This prospect's HEAT has dropped to a simmer, but a 4 blk 13 reb player will have a spot until the end of 4.0.

.

10. Sean Stoner SF - LR unranked



The Ol' Ball Commish comes back on the ladder. You just can't argue with blocks. Don't @ me.

1. JeSuis Herb PG - LR #1



Pretty good. Set the all time single season points per game as a rookie that came off the bench for part of the season. Best efficiency in the class min 1000 mp. Very good rebounder for a pg. Solid defensive numbers. Not bad.

.

2. Handsome Pete SF - LR #2



My thing that takes pictures didn't do the thing. Pete is rookie Larry Bird if you traded a steal for a block. Is that a good trade?



.

3. Eric Hofmann PG - LR #3



Efficiency is still slightly below average but the defense brings on salivation and salvation, which I understand are popular with my fellow humans. With no cap room to add a third star I feel like the CompuGM move might just be to 11001010010001000100011110001100 EOL EOF NFM GBFF0000

.

4. Ethan Harris PF - LR #6



We've never really had an elite scoring big that didn't take threes and he wasn't that good in preseason so my guess is he's a young Patrick Ewing, which is a pretty good spot to be.

.

5. Josh Dutt SG - LR #5



Easy max perimeter player. #5 is the best you can get in this class with that kind of build. That's just the cross Dutt will have to bear.

.

6. Hulk Hogan Hedge-Hell SG - LR #4



By per36 he's in a better spot than Dutt but with no preseason and limited PT I'm more confident in Young HEATsus.

.

7. Ward Dunn SG - LR #7



You hear the pistons before you see the thunder, so keep an eye out for this young fella. Didn't record a steal in the regular season but his defensive numbers in preseason were decent.

.

8. Em Jay SG - LR #8



Could be a good scorer but between the volume and no blocks in 900 combined minutes, my hands are tied.

.

9. Alex Lopez C - LR #9



Already an elite d/r man. Only weakness is handling. The first GM to take the gloves off will have a star on their hands. Plus he'll be able to pick up his stick when he drops it. It's a win-win-win.

.

10. Tim Pig C - LR unranked



Higher ceiling than Lopez due to the scoring volume but as they say in iced hockey a block in the hand is worth two in the crease of Wayne "The Main Wayne" Gretzky's office.

.

rest of lotto:

Inur Fason - bad at scoring, defense, and handling. okay rebounder. a disgrace to the Monsoon family name
Sean Lavs - not far from being a league average player, but needs work in all areas
Chase Kepler - better than Fason in every category. still bad
Jon-Michael Majkut - a little better scoring than SPL, a little worse rebounding. also needs work in all areas
Geoff Thao - acceptable d/r for a SF. horrific scoring
Sean Stoner - elite d/r package. poor scoring but not unsalvageable. a little TC TLC and he can be a star
