That didn't make any sense...

Also...next year is just continental tournament. So, unfortunately, Trickle and Rainey will not really even have the chance to go against the best of the best...

This is how you have a true player duel. Play equally crappy players around them... (25718439)

It's a shame that lucky fans aren't named anymore. The blank is boring.

I suggest they go back to the Lucky Fan idea, and take it a step further. Give the fans names, as if they were lucky enough to have their ticket drawn to participate. An example, using the above match, could look like:

Mike Jenkins from Elyria, Ohio gets free for a baseline jumper off of a nice pass from Wilson Aicardi
shot missed
Mrs. Ellen Forlani of Scranton, Pennsylvania grabs the defensive rebound.


Something like that. Or use randomly picked usernames for BB managers:

Jelme gets free for a baseline jumper off of a nice pass from Wilson Aicardi
shot missed
Mod-CrazyEye grabs the defensive rebound.


Never mind. It's a stupid idea.

Rainey is in terrible gameshape. You do realize he needs strong-proficient next season or else Trickle will start over him.

If he isn't in strong-proficient GS, he won't play at all. =D

He is he really that far ahead skill wise? salary wise yes, but we know that is misleading.

I'm certain there are more great 20-year-old players out there than the three or four that people have been talking about, Trickle and Rainey included. There are lots of similarly-trained players in U21 since it's mostly an arms race and there isn't much time to train secondaries on a U21 player. Because of this, game shape is incredibly significant at the U21 level. Rainey in mediocre-average game shape is a much lesser option than other U21-caliber players in strong-proficient game shape.
