Well other than the Star Fliers after they sold their short-term center.


Not sure why he sold him. He did amazing vs me. And although it's a small sample size, the guy is 5 of 7 from Three this season. A big who can shoot jumpers seems like a pretty solid contributor to an outside oriented team.

Looks like the day he was sold was the day you played them.
It's probably a good move long term. They were winless at the time & pretty much locked into at best a relegation match anyway. The guy was 33 too.

Actually the Star Fliers still have a better overall lineup than me. Without Alas I literally have a D3 roster. My 2nd best scoring option is a $39k center.

quantity over quality. your players are lethargic cause they're zombies and just keep coming in waves.

I've always entertained the notion of a deep roster with great defense, amazing stamina, and doing Full Court Press + Run N Gun or something. Just try and run the other team off the court.

Not sure if it's feasible in the BB sim, but it'd be a fun team to watch.

Vardis Sourpiss might be only 1 for 97 shooting this season (in 6 games played), but he once made a 2-point shot in Dexter Dennison's face. Dexter was still an NT guard at the time.

I'm pretty sure Sourpiss could school Laverne Goddard or Nemesio Xermade in similar fashion.

I've been trying FCP + RNG a lot in scrimmages / PL games. I like the results.

Close game, you almost had him there. I like how you had almost as many steals as points.

Shows you how high merch must be for some of this league. I'm also well below league average. I have more USA players than ever before and it's done crap all for merch. Well...technically I could argue my merch is worse with the additional USA players, but that could possibly be because of my atrocious start.

But even during season 21 (before I won the title), my merch was between 80ish-90ish. 80ish if my guard Wens wasn't on Belgium's NT, and 90ish if he played that week. Actually I want to say that Wens gave me about a 8k boost if he got minutes. Anyways, even when Wens wasn't playing on his countries NT my merch was at a decent level for only having 1 (and then 2 mid-way through the season) USA players.

And the kicker? (23332)

Wens is back on his countries NT this year. I added a 107k starting USA guy, and a 37k USA big for Cup depth. So not scrubs by any means, yet my merch is still way lower than beforehand. Now its between 63-70k.

In season 22 my merch was between 75-90k. I don't think Wens was on his countries NT, so to me this explained why it wasn't higher than the previous season.

Long story short, I understand I need a USA NT player to hit league average (at minimum). My lone almost had a USA NT story was trying to buy Nix when I entered the NBBA, but Reston Thumpers outbid me.
