Honestly though, in real life he put up exactly what Ewing did here. 25, 12 and 4 blocks as a rookie. He is only a year younger than Hakeem though so while he'll be cheaper, he is going to be like 24-25 and not have as many TC's to improve. I would personally say though that he should have equal value to EWing and only Hakeem has more value IMO.

Top 3 are Robinson, then Drazen or Sabas depending on your style or team need. Beyond that it is really hard.

Ya, it's rough. Guess just gotta hope for the lottery Jackpot. I was surprised to see Glenn Rice wasn't a better scorer.

With Drazen in there I really didn't see need to put in another volume scorer. Cliffy could probably develop into a top 2 option for a team.

I guess I wasn't thinking about need, just of what they were coming into the league and he was a top scorer. Isn't that what they're supposed to be as they first come in?

Hopefully I can chance into a PG.

His per 36 didn't get good for a couple of years. I've tried to get them close, though with some variation.

Hardaway and Rice seemed low on the outside scoring to me.

Drazen was easily the best scorer/player out of all of the guards. So I don't necessarily have a problem with how the other guys are ranked.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dra%C5%BEen_Petrovi%C4%87
Petro, as the Americans had dubbed him, averaged 20.6 points in 36.9 minutes on the floor, nearly leading all NBA guards in field goal percentage (51%). He did not miss a single game; he established himself as the team leader; and he was named team MVP. More significantly, his success translated into team success, as the Nets recorded 14 more wins than the season before and made the playoffs. The following, 1992–93 season, Petrović increased his scoring average (22.3, 11th best that season) and repeated his three-point field goal percentage from the previous season (45%), again nearly leading all guards in field goal percentage (52%)

His field goal percentages were crazy good.
