Will we watch some of the real life season unfold before we vote on who has the best teams?

It's not entirely based on one season (hence taking future + now into consideration with team votes). Sim is mostly for that, but obviously we always look back to see who had better or worse teams than we imagined.

Yeah the vote is forward looking but also I’m just wondering, like do I get to see how KD looks before I evaluate Ice’s team? Or the rookies for that matter?

From the desk of Kraków Stonecutters assistant GM and senior minister of defense, Shimshon Draenger:



"To go with Jamal and Jaylen, we need a versatile player who we can throw out there to shut down anyone who needs shutting down, and provide some good three-point shooting to go with it. Threes and Defense, a concept I just came up with! We select OG Anunoby."

I like this mainly because of Kyle. I genuinely think he's better than Donovan and might be this season too. Donovan is one of the most pure hype stars in the league. There was a genuine 15 game stretch of the season where Clarkson matched Donovan's play. Hard to assume anything unless you plan on starting Onyeka(I like him a lot just don't trust rookie starters)
edit: i had stats that proved it but I like Deimos too much so I deleted it

I like where this is going too. I want to believe OG takes a big leap, I even considered picking but decided it was too hard a sell, but I think he might be looking at MIP

Nah it's fine, I actually agree. Donovan and Jamal haven't had anywhere near the production their reputations would suggest, but they're both exciting young athletic guards so it's easy to see where the hype comes from. What i'm counting on here is that Donovan played much, much better when Conley was healthy and settled into their system. He's a shooting guard through and through, and needs to be sharing ball handling duties and to have shooters to kick to because that's the main way he's going to distribute. Lowry is a multiple tier upgrade over Conley the last couple seasons, but now i need to get those other shooters around them. That's why i was interested in guys like covington and warren. Spoilered because i mentioned someone who hasn't been picked.

And I agree on Onyeka too. As I'm catching up on the rookies this year I think he may be the one I'm most excited about but it will take a little time.

If you're not aware that the person in the spoiler exists, you are probably out of your league, though.

Everyone knows he exists, but the entire point of this game is to identify what the other GMs are undervaluing/missing and name dropping dudes, especially in the context of what you can do directly harms literally everyone's ability to do that.

Another fun team I'm not sure Dinwiddie is even needed tho, I think Sabonis and Siakam is enough of a scoring punch
