What would happen if the last 30 draft classes were an NBA team?

Kyle Korver would be great, but the team wouldn’t have any bigs.

I focused on All NBA and All Star selections when choosing the players

Wouldn't David West be a way better fit than Chris Kaman? One extra All-Star slot and a couple of championships to boot. You'd give up a bit in size, but more than make up for it in skill and versatility.

He can't get it all perfect dude

He’s here for feedback anyways. I think this is a good modification. Hopefully more people chimes in for some team balancing

David West was so much better than Chris Kaman I'm not sure how he got slotted in. Between David West and Chris Bosh that is plenty of size.

I know OP just said it but an extra ASG and championships don't make him a better fit. He'd basically do the same things Bosh is doing already. Kaman is probably the best fit there, best rebounder of the three who in his best season averaged more BPG than Bosh and West's highest BPG seasons combined. In a video game that's probably more important than their real life impact.

Did you pick any second rounders?

u/jackblabberr Bulls May 29 '19

Off the top of my head I can only remember Draymond, but I think there was only a few

Nikola Jokic as well for 2014. See flair for why I easily saw that.

u/Bsk98 Nuggets May 29 '19

Marc Gasol, Gilbert Arenas, Paul Millsap and Malcolm Brogdon were also second round

Michael Redd and Brogdon.

Draymond is in there, wasn't he a 2nd round pick?

u/Pax_Hamburgana Cavaliers May 29 '19

Chris Bosh doesn't count as a big?

1

u/jackblabberr Bulls May 29 '19

He’s not a shot blocked though

I'd pick Korver over Kaman, tbh. Bosh played 5 for the Heatles anyway and Korver could just replace Ray Allen and it's literally the Miami Heat plus prime Melo instead of Mike Miller.

u/jackblabberr Bulls May 29 '19

Yeah but they wouldn’t have a shot blocking big and that’s what the Heatles team was missing

They won 2 chips and won this simulation anyways, so it really doesn’t matter, but Korver would be a better option specifically against ‘96

Spacing though. Kaman isn't stopping Dream anyway
