This is when my lack of NBA knowledge comes to hurt me. Think I know 2 of these names.

The great thing about this league is that you dont need to have knowledge of current players. Their notes are more valuable than their real life abilities.

When I started, I had minimal knowledge of players in the late 80's, early 90's.

I get that, it's just fun to have players you know. In fact it was the exact opposite with me I remember all the players from late 80's early 90's.

Yeah, I hear ya. It's nice to recognize names. But you know what's fun, as we get further into future drafts, you'll start hearing these names pop up in the NBA and in college basketball in the next few years. I still remember when guys like Theo Pinson and Nigel Williams Goss were like top picks in sim leagues I ran like 10 years ago lol.

I loved watching Domantas' progress, he went straight to the Lith nat team and I'm really hoping he gets his shot on the Thunder.

There is enough on youtube you can get a feel for some of the guys not to say they will be exact replicas. On the flip side in real life I worked with all these kids outside of Sabonis, Valentine, and Herzonja.

Perhaps I can do a mock draft article.
