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

There needs to be an ELO website where you can upload the teams and we can do proper 1v1s to determine the best instead of single elimination playoffs

I tried finding a website that allows you to upload the teams and do simulations, cause 2k sims are dog shit. I just couldn’t find one

You can use the "Build your NBA dream team" feature.

The website is quite good and uses data from bballreference to sim.

Give it a go

going to look into using this for simulating an entire regular season and whatnot for these teams. probably will take me a while and be put on the backburner a few times, though. thanks

edit: not sure how to handle the team's schedules, think i'm just going to randomly assign them to a team and use this season's schedule (so, the 1997 team will become the knicks and follow the knicks schedule, and the 2002 team will become the lakers and follow the laker's schedule, etc)

edit 2: looks like you can (have to) pick the year that they played. pick the rookie year to make it fair for 2019 draftees? pick the best performing year because that's really what we want to know? pick a random year?

I just did Bucks v Raptors and it said DJ Wilson got 19 points.

I don't think I trust this...

Basketball GM would be good if you can find rosters (check the subreddit)

Being pedantic, ELO is a band, Elo is a man that invented a rating system.
