INTRO:
Okay so Ive been working on my own version of roster that is basically a fictional rec league. Kind of like the Hoop it Up mod I played so much last year on steroids. I know there might not be a huge audience for this since its not NBA but i figured since im making it for myself anyway, i might as well upload it here in case anyone else would enjoy it.
Some things about it so far:
350 players. 295 Fictional, and 50+ NLSC
-I paid close attention to tendencies, animations, and ratings to make the players play realistic to what you would see out at the park or in a gym for a Rec league game. I didn't just lower ratings, I tried to make each of them unique and play with their own styles, strengths & weaknesses
-Real cyberfaces for the players for almost all the players, through using custom made cf's, assistant coaches, 2k developers, , and lesser known NBA D-League level players. (and a bonus female version of Me thanks to a CF PDub is making me!) I hate how created players all look like clones so I avoided that.
-Courts will include the street courts from JaoSmings Street mod, and D-League and Practice gyms.
-Sliders and Coach profiles that will go with the spirit of the mod
-No trace of anything NBA. No NBA jerseys, team names, coaches, players, courts, etc. All record books and stats have been erased
-Custom Soundtrack

Team Previews
EAST COAST
The Stallions
Starting Five:
PG - (captain) T.J. Dee (66)
SG - Nick Dee (62)
SF - Bobby Coppola (56)
PF - Tommy Dee (64)
C - Dan Lombardo (52)
Bench - Greg Addazio, Jimmy Bach, Nick Rossi, Don Durizio, Frankie Minelli
One of the most unique teams in the league, this team features a father and sons tandem, two of the smallest players in the league, along with the youngest player in the league. They have a ton of versatility at the guard position, with guards galore. Many combos to try out here. What this team lacks in size, they make up for in chemistry and heart.
Offense: C+
Defense: D+
The Panthers
Starting Five:
PG - Jamel Youboty (65)
SG - Rashad Jones (61)
SF - (c) Marshawn Williams (69)
PF - Bo Samuels (54)
C - Darryl Reed (65)
Bench : Sean Brown, Freddie Kealoha, Malcom Kinlaw, Rashaan Myers, Brandon Bell, Keith Bryant
This may be the most physically gifted and athletic team in the league. Point Forward Marshawn Williams is the teams star player with a game most similar to Scottie Pippen. Guard Jamel Youboty is a lockdown defender, and a streaky scorer. When he is hot, he is very hot and when he is cold he is ice cold. Their athleticism is balanced out by two bruisers at the forward positions in Sean Brown and Bo Samuels, along with the tallest player in the league and perhaps the best shot blocker, center Darryl Reed. This team is one of the favorites to win the league championship.
Offense: B
Defense: B
The Cobras
Starting Five:
PG - Leo Tunsil (35)
SG - (c) Josh Smee (63)
SF - Ray Hobson (62)
PF - Jay Parker (46)
C - Darrell porter (62)
Bench - Toby Harris, Jimmy Stokes, David Buchanan, Steve Edwards, Scott Hatcher
This team lacks a true point guard. Starting Point Guard Leo Tunsil is basically out there only to manage the floor, and he does it resonably well. Team Captain Josh Smee can score in bunches but doesn't like contact; he likes to deal in space. He's the one thing you can take away and hurt them. Jimmy Stokes is an inspirational leader who really gets the team going when he catches fire. Unfortunatly that doesn't happen all that often. Ray Hobson has the potential to be a breakout player but isn't there yet. Jay Parker and Darrel Porter do a good job of clogging up space in the middle.
Offense: D+
Defense: C
The Bulldogs
Starting Five:
Pg - Jason Dunn (56)
Sg - Ryan Gibson (60)
Sf - (c) Kyle Williams (65)
Pf - Rick Turner (61)
C - Trey Thompson (63)
Bench - David Sloan, Steve Fowler, Mike Bradley, Charles Hopper, Dave Whitlock, Pete Boyle, Curtis Jones
The team features 3 distinctly different, but viable options at point guard. Jason Dunn is a risk taking playmaker, while Mike Bradley is a floor general who rarely shoots or takes risks. SG/PG Donald Sloan is the 3rd option, a hard nosed defender who can also handle the ball well. Captain Kyle Williams is the primary scorer of the team. This team lacks an overall physicality, and often struggle to get rebounds.
Offense: C+
Defense: C-
The Knights
Starting Five:
Pg - AJ Cipriani (58)
Sg - Leo Dileo (59)
Sf - Mookie Peterson (58)
Pf - (c) Victor Corradi (62)
C - DeQuan Davis (62)
Bench - Dontrell Mathis, Peter Rothman, David Rothman, Caleb Yost, George Lopes, George Timmerman, Dennis Chism
Hard Nosed Team captain Victor Corradi sets the demenor for this scrappy team. At 6'5, Dequan Davis is an inconsistant big man who is very adept at blocking shots and throwing down dunks in the lowpost. The Rothman brothers often come off the bench together, with Peter being the better of the two. PG AJ Ciprini would be better served at shooting guard, where he could better utilize his great three point shooting.
Offense: D+
Defense: C-
The Cougars
Starting Five:
Pg - Isiah Drummund (65)
Sg- (c) Camron Randall (70)
Sf -Malcom lee (63)
PF - Jaylon Howard (67)
C - Jon Smith (52)
Bench - Tyrone Hunt, Jesse Sapida, Ed Mckinstry, Pete Hurst, Jabar Wiggins, Tori Shaw
Probably the best transition team in the league, with some of the fastest players (Isiah Drummond, Tyrone Hunt), and the best finishers (Camron Randall, Jaylon Howard,) Jaylon Howard in particular will provide a dominant force on the low block, and can erase shots from seemingly out of nowhere with his speed and leaping ability. Patrolling the paint at Center is 6'7 Jon Smith, whos defense and shot blocking often gets the teams fastbreaks started.
Offense: B-
Defense: B
The Eagles
Starting Five:
Pg - Markeef Carter (58)
Sg - Darius Ricks (62)
Sf - (c) Emmit Woods (64)
PF - Travis Johnson (63)
C - Demarre Burows (62)
Bench - Tyrone Mills, Raekwon Huggins, Kendall Brantley, Ron Timmons, Paul Nerosa, Sebastian Hein
With length and size, the Eagles are not a team that will have any problems getting boards and blocking shots. Teams that are organized offensively and have a high basketball IQ will give them trouble though.Though a bit undersized to be an enforcer, Team Captain Emmitt Woods plays bigger than his size, block shots and pulling down boards over players twice his size. Woods is known for hard fouls, sometimes even injuring his own teammates in scrimmages. PF Ron Timmons is a former football player who sometimes thinks hes still on the field instead of the court. Anyone who plays this team is going to feel it the next morning. SG Tyrone Mills is the definition of a shot jacker who does not like to pass the ball even when double teamed. Darius Ricks is a sharpshooter in the mold of Ray Allen, with coming off screens with a quick release. PG Markeef Carter is the of the smallest starter in the league at 5'5. His ability to use his size to his advantage is what allows him to keep up with the much bigger players.
Offense: C+
Defense: C+
The Falcons
Starting Five:
Pg - Dylan hawley (42)
Sg - Pat McClosky (58)
SF - (c) Frank Odorizzi (67)
Pf - Gene Kuberski (64)
C - Julius Winslow (63)
Bench - Lavernius Griffith, Dontell Ellis, Dusty Saunter, Jorge Rivera, Justin Boyce, Gary Guise, Danny Healy
Blessed with a great shooting touch and basketball IQ, Team Captain Frank Odorizzi was once a great high school player, but knee injures have robbed him off all his athleticism and made him a spot up shooter. Though that may be all he is, he is perhaps the best all around shooter in the league. His post moves are predictable, but he's tough and relentless. Gene Kuberski is the perfect Ying to Odorizzi's yang, preferring to dwell down in the low post and do his damage with his back to the basket. Kuberski and Odorizzi have great chemistry together and play love to run the give and go together. Center Julius Winslow is the best athlete on the team. Dylan Hawley is a lanky point forward who i sprobably better suited at SG or SF, but is starting at point guard due ot the teams lack of depth in that position. Lavernus Griffith is a capable 6th man off the bench, able to do many things well but nothing great. The rest of the bench is terribly undersized with no player cracking 6'0. Ultimately whethe ror nto this team will go far depends on how much the Odorizzi and Kuberski have left in the tank.
Offense: C+
Defense: B-
The Storm
Starting Five:
Pg - Tyree Bramwell (56)
Sg - Rich Gorman (58)
Sf - Ryan Reid (68)
Pf - (c) Devontae Watts (70)
C - Curtis Watson (62)
Bench - Ryan Garber, Garrison Harrison, Rick Shuman, Tony Matteo, Carlo Ortiz, Andre Baker
This is a team loaded with talent, but also loaded with alot of emotional headcases prone to being thrown off their game if the ball doesn't bounce their way. They are also a little too reliant on shooting from the perimeter. Carlo Ortiz is known primarily for his hard fouls and dirty play. Sg Rich Gorman can score with the best of them, just don't expect him to guard anyone. Tyree Bramwell and Garrison Harrison, former high school teammates are known as much for their questionable exploits off the court as they are for their performance on it. Point Guard Rick Shuman is an occcasionally brilliant, but often inconsistant player who takes plays off on defense. Captain at PF Devontae Watts was a point guard in high school, but grew several inches in his junior year. This means he can handle amd shoot the ball, but also play underneath.
Offense: D+
Defense: C-
The Liberty
Starting Five:
Pg - Marc Samacicia (62)
Sg - Shannon Sweetney (65)
Sf - Anthony Vicchiullo (48)
Pf -(c) Kevin Foster (63)
C - Neil Baugher (57)
Bench - Kenny Cantrell, D.J. Hester, Javier Vasquez, John Finnegan, Nick Nardini, Keenan Coleman, Craig Sullivan
Team Captain Kevin Foster is a tough and agressive power forward who can bang inside as well as shoot with touch. The team had many options at the guard positions but eventually setteled on putting the skilled scorer Shannon Sweetney at Sg, and the tireless energy of Marc Samacicci at the point guard spot. At center, Neil Bougher makes up for his lack of size with strength and an ability to grab offensive rebounds. The backups on this team are capable of playing better ball than the starters occasionally. A champion sprinter in high school, D.J. Hester is certainly the fastest sideline to sideline player in the league, and may be the best athlete. Basketball is still a relatively new sport to him though, and he has alot to learn before he can maximize his athletic potential. This teams biggest defense lies on the defensive end, where they struggle to force hardly any turnovers each game.
Offense: C+
Defense: D
The Comets
Pg- Kris Chandler (51)
Sg- Jabari Gatlin (62)
Sf- (C) Jimmy Galoardi (69)
Pf-Luke Sarcone (57)
C - Sean O'Rourke (58)
Bench - James Savage, Brandon Bussey, Bryan Cerisano, Adam lyons, Shane Breneman, Will Flanagan, Adam Wildermuth
Team captain Jim Galardo is a clutch scoring, lockdown defender, with a great work ethic that can lead his team to victory. Jabari Gatlin could be the best scorer in the league if he had a jumper. He struggles to shoot 30% from the field though, so he has to rely on layups and breaking defenders down off the dribble. On defense he is a risk taker who loves to gamble, which gets him lots of steals but also leaves him out of position frequently. James Savage is one of the scrappist players in the league, and would be a start if he weren't backing up a quality player like Jabari Gatlin. Rangy Brandon Bussey can provide instant offense off the bench. They have good perimeter defense but a weak post defense. With the exception of Sean O'Rourke, they almost seem afraid to try to score or defend in the post. While the rest of the team features some decent shooters, They are far too relient on the outside shot. They also lack a traditional point guard, choosing to play 3 point specialist Kris Chandler at the spot despite average passing skills and small hands that often lead to turnovers.
Offense: C-
Defense: D+
The Devils
Pg - (C) TJ Denaro (62)
Sg - Frankie DiGiobanni (64)
Sf- Tom kenney (60)
Pf - Jeremy Blaszczyk (55)
C- Cameron Cauley (56)
Bench : Chandler Parsons, Jason Connor, Scot Waterstradt, Greg Mcllroy, Franco Cavini, Vince Mazoni, Dusty McGrath
Team Captain T.J. DeNaro is the clutch team leader, but Frank DiGiovanni is the best player on the team because he can do a little bit of everything. Stop the 1-2 combo of DeNaro an DiGiovanni and you can easily beat this team. Lack of post presence is probably the Devils biggest weakness. They like to play up-tempo, so opposing teams have to get back on defense and not give them any open lanes. Their centers, Cameron Cauley and Jason Connor are good rebounders, but are very foul prone. 12th man Dusty McGrath doesn't belong in the league.
Offense: D+
Defense: D+
The Force
Pg - (c) Sam Howell (60)
Sg - Evan Franklin (60)
Sf - Stewart Windling (60)
Pf - Chris Straw (61)
C - Jim Nowicki (63)
Bench - Aaron Walkling, Chris Novak, Dillon Moylan, Rob Harwell, Daniel Hackett, Mike Maynor
The Force' biggest weakness is handling pressure on the perimeter. They panic against athletic perimeter players, and turn the ball over. You want to get physical with Chris Straw. Chase him and bump him. He doesn't like that. If you make him dribble, he goes from being a really good scorer to just an average scorer. Their center, Jim Nowicki, is very tall and skilled, but can be pushed around in the post. He is not afraid to shoot from the outside and has a better touch than most of the guards on the team. The Force generally play a finesse style of basketball that keeps them out of foul trouble and doesn't get them to the line much. If you can limit one of those two scorers, Straw or Nowicki, they don't have enough to win consistently. At 44 years old Stewart Windling probably doesn't have what it takes to play many minutes or make it through the grind of the season. Backup forward Gregg Welsh is all hustle and no skill but he plays within himself and helps the team. Dillon Moylan or Mike Maynor would eventually like to take the point guard spot, but right now it is occupied by team captain point-forward Sam Howell.
Offense: C+
Defense: D
The Sharks
Pg - Tommy McLaren (66)
Sg- Will Birch (60)
Sf- Roger Lewis (58)
Pf - (C) Josh Patrick (70)
C - Boris Radek (72)
Bench - Brett Clarke, Bill Senior, Richard Morse, John Hemsworth, Trey Nicholson, Dale Druitt, Herm Shulong
Despite being one of the oldest teams in the league, The Shark's are one of the best. In addition to being able to outwit their opponents with execution, they are also able to out hustle much younger players for loose balls and rebounds. Josh Patrick may be the team captain, but Boris Radek is the team enforcer. Radek is one of the best defenders and rebounders in the league. At 6'5 280 of solid muscle, he is also one of the strongest. By in large, Josh Patrick runs the offense and Boris Radek runs the defense. Also contributing on defense is Bill Senior, who models his physical style after former NBA great Bill Laimbeer Dale Druitt has game for his age, but due to his lifelong love of cigarette smoking, his game often only can last for very short spurts. Sg Richard Morse relies only on his stepback jumper, which he calls "Morse Code". With all their depth, they have a variety of different rotations that they can beat you with. Point-Forward Tommy McLaren starts at point guard, but then often switches to forward, allowing capable guards Trey Nicholson and John Hemsworth to take the PG spot in the 2nd half.
Offense: B
Defense: B
The Pirates
Pg - Roy Hauer (52)
Sg - Lewis Hairston (59)
Sf - (c) D'Angelo Harris (75)
Pf - Brandon Ward (60)
C- Rashard Willis (67)
Bench - Jerimiah Clemons, Trey Thomas, Robert May, Malik Diggs, Dante Billet, Darren Green
Captain D'Angelo Harris can do everything. He can slash to the bucket, dunk, drive and pull up, or take a casual three here and there. He can also run the court like a gazell, and rebound. Pg Roy Hauer is the weak link in the starting lineup. He doesn't assert himself on offense or defense. The Pirates other point guard, Trey Thomas, is in competition with Hauer to be the starter. Jeremiah Clemons is instant offense off the bench, and plays clutch on offense and defense. The Pirates strength as a team is their defense.
Offense: B+
Defense: B+

WEST COAST
The Bears
Bears
Pg - Ricky Farmer (45)
Sg - Brian Sherman (73)
Sf- Jermaine Rogers (65)
Pf -Will Henry (57)
C- Allen Dodson (64)
Bench - Martell Jackson, Ricardo Cruz, Mark Lawrence, marcus Green, Issac Humphrey, Darius Singleton, Katsuhiko Fok
Offense - B-
Defense - C+
Captain Brian Sherman's pure determination to score and get to the basket may be what makes him most special. Sherman totally dominates the ball at the expense of his other teammates. If you can defend the Bears well on the perimeter and you have someone to match up with Brian Sherman, then you have a chance. Rickey Farmer is a good point guard, but he's not good enough to get shots by himself. He needs the system, he needs weak-side movement to get himself an advantage. The Bears have trouble guarding the low post. 300 pounder Will henry can clog up the lane but often gets in his own teammates way.
The Dragons
Starting Five :
Pg - Hung Chen (50)
Sg - Kinjiro Suzuki (41)
Sf - Cung Chiang (39)
Pf - Jing Liu (37)
C - Nam Shen (38)
Bench - Joe Chung (c), Nam Kwan, Seigi Hwang, Kohei Oya, Viktor Shinjiro, Shek Sui Lun, Lei Sunee
Captain Joe Chung finances the team and acts as a Player Coach. He doesn't have much skill but hogs the ball and gets undeserved playing time. Su Nee is one half of the only two female players in the league. Her favorite player is Steve Nash and models her play after him. The only real talent lies at the guard positions, with both Hung Chen and Kijiro Suzuki acting as speedy scorers while the rest of the team stands around and tries to look busy.
Offense: F
Defense: F
The Fire
Pg - (c) Randall Jeffries (67)
Sg - Tyron pryor (63)
Sf - Mark Jordan (61)
Pf - Calvin Wallace (64)
C- Dustin Gourley (54)
Bench - Kevin Stetler, Cedric Miles, Phil Kaulhbach, Kevin Woodbury, Sammy Shanks, Logan Clancy
The Fire player with alot of flash and flair, and have a reputation for being showboats. As his nickname would suggest, captain Randall "Handles" Jefferies is the best ball handler in the league. Playing point guard, Randall likes to embarrass defenders with his wide array of moves. He does have a tendency to shoot too much at his position.The perimeter defense often try to funnel the ofense into the middle of the lane so that Calvin Wallace and Dustin Gourley can block shots. The bench does not get as much playing time as they would like
Offense - B
Defense - C+
The Titans
Pg - Jarrett Offred (60)
Sg- (c) Brady Stann (68)
Sf - John Stafford (60)
Pf - Amir Kolar (56)
C -Vince McGrail (55)
Bench - Will Ferrell (60), Adrien Stanley (58),Steve Lawrence, Mike Chase, John Brough, Matt Beck, Vincent DeFlores
Don't let Jarrett Offred's small stature fool you; he is one of the toughest players in the league and a leader at the point guard position. He plays great under pressure and almost always makes the right decisions with the ball. Center Vince McGrail is a big body in the post, but rarely ever leaves his feet to do anything. 6th man Will Ferrell brings NBA sizeto the guard position, has a high arcing jumper that is very difficult to block, and he is capable of bringing the ball up court and utilizing his court vision when needed. Ferrell would be a starter on most teams, but is playing behind team captain Brady Stann, who the Titans offense revolves around. John Stafford is a great outside shooter, but can't do anything else on offense, and is a liability on defense. They are one of the few teams in the league to utilize the zone defense as their primary defense. The Titans often play very well in the clutch because of having so many players who aren't afraid to take the shot during the big moment.
Offense: B
Defense: B-
The Raiders
Pg - Gary Garrick (65)
Sg - Torrence Jones (64)
Sf - Jarrod White (68)
Pf - (c) Tony Martin (76)
C - Andre Sampson (60)
Bench - James Franklin (65), Tony Winslow, Chase Braunley, Kenneth Moorer, Dante Gilks, George Yates
The Raiders starting five is so good, they don't have many weaknesses except for depth. Captain Tony Martin could be the leagues most imposing player. Martin is an animal on the low block. On offense, he is all power and no finesse. On defense, his aggressive style often puts him in foul trouble. Complimentinghim is 6'8 shot blocking center Andre Sampson. These two towers often force teams to forgo trying to score in the low post. If you can get Martin and Sampson in foul trouble, they really don't have much coming off the bench. Jarrod White can be erratic but his size bothers people because he's strong. He's not a tremendous shooter, but he makes them when they count. You have to space him because once he gets into the lane you can forget about it. He's going to throw a lob dunk or make that floater. You have to force Sg Torrance Jones to play defense. He doesn't want to play on the ball. He'd rather deny and reach from the passing lane. Pg Gary Garrick on the othr hand is a lock down defender. Garrick can also score really well and can distribute the ball extremely well too. He is the perfect prototypical point guard. 6th Man James Franklin would be a starter if he could shoot the ball reasonably well. The Raiders may have a hard time against a team that can drive and kick. Since they're so physical, they have to hope the referees are on their side. If your team can't get calls against these guys, expect to get mauled all game long.
Offense: B+
Defense: A
The Royals
Pg - Louis Nestor
Sg -Daniel Green
Sf - Jamie Becker
Pf - (C) Ronald Evans
C - Eddy Wise
Bench - Mike Brody, CJ Forsett, Michael Gray, Cole Kennedy, Jason Taylor
The Royals strategy is simple. Throw it down lo wto Evans and Wise, and hope for the best. Captain Ronald Evans is big, nasty, and has a touch of finesse to him too. He can match up really well with other big-men and also has the strength to over power small forwards. He can play defense and rebound pretty well too. At the backup center position, Michael Gray is a tad slow, and not overly impressive rebounder or shot blocker. You won't ever see him leading the League in rebounds or making any all-defensive teams. Has terrible hands which could mean turnover problems if he is called on as a scoring option. He makes good decisions though. Pg Louis Nestor is your typical pass first PG, who doesn't shoot unless he is wide open. He has above average speed and with it, he can drive to the bucket and get an easy layups. 6th man Mike Brody is an intense player, he will do what it takes to win. Has a nose for the ball, and will do his team's dirty work.
Offense: C
Defense: C-
The Vikings
Pg - Connor Nittman (52)
Sg - (C) Zack Husted (62)
Sf - Joey Reynolds(58)
Pf - Drew Konnor(61)
C - Nick Carollo (57)
Bench - Stan Richards, Tony Bates, Ekene Oyedeji, Steve Herndon, Dan Hung
One of the most hated players in the league, Vikings Team Captain Zack Husted rubs opponents the wrong way with his trash talk, complaining, and flopping. Husted is team captain for a reason though, as he can definitely put the ball in the basket with his shooting touch and an uncanny ability to come off screens. Forward Drew Konnor is a nice offensive player. He can shoot, drive, and has good handles. He is known as a very smart offensive player, a good leader, and has his head on straight. PG Connor Nittman is a another smart player who handles the ball well, and can get his own shot when necessary. He spends most of his time passing however. He needs to play in the right system to be successful, and this team fits his style. The rest of the team is made up of specialists. Ekene Oyedeji is purely a shot blocker and a defender, he can't handle the ball. Tony Bates can't score further than 10 feet from the rim. Joey Reynolds is a 3 point specialist.
Offense: C+

The Scorpions
Pg - Batuhan Kiziltepe (46)
Sg - Sean Soth (55)
Sf - Will Medrina (50)
Pf - (c) Brad Biles (62)
C- Dan Browning (52)
Bench - Arsene Reid (50), Tom Burke (43), Amber Tucci, Anil Kapoor, Kevin Simmons, David Yurkow, Mason Reeve
The team has such a diverse makeup that they have taken to nicknaming themself "The Misfits". They are very undersized compared to most teams. Center Dan Browning is only 6'2 and isn't very athletic. They have no one to guard Centers with. Their smallest player is 16 year old (some say he is younger) Anil Kapoor who is 4'11. Captain Brad Biles grabs almost all of the rebounds on the team. Will medrina is a good post up player for his small size, and skilled at drawing fouls. Sg Sean Soth, and is the best ballhander on the team. Amber Tucci is one of only two women in the league. Her amazing beauty has been known to cause opposing players to fall under trance, allowing her open lanes to score. 6th man Arsene Reid is a team player who lacks traditional athleticism, but his quickness and skills can usually make up for it. Reid's asthma hurts his stamina and forces him permenantly in the 6th man position, providing offense and mismatches off the bench. The Scorpions lack a true point guard, and have alot of players who like to shoot. The Scorpions use the Zone Defense as their primary defense. The Scorpions are capable of surprising a few teams, but don't expect them to contend for any titles just yet.

The Lions
Pg - Damian Wilks
Sg- (c) Carlo Carson
Sf - Hector Bubar
Pf - Jose Riberio
C - Olumide Idoka
Bench - Rafael Silva, Shun Takeuchi, Akio Kashwagi, Ali Khan, Matt Slater
The Lions team captain Carlo Carson is a well rounded player, but really isn't a good enough shooter to take as many shots as he does per game. Olumide Idoka is an athlete with all the tools and instincts to become an elite defensive player in the future, but his offense is not polished. They have alot of guards who like to drive to the basket. The Lions biggest weakness as a team would be shooting, they usually only make about 20% of their shots per game. The Lions also really lack any kind of athleticism. They win games by grinding them out.
Offense: D+
Defense: C-
The Flash
Pg - Garrett Lily
Sg - Jared Turner
Sf - (C) Duane james
Pf - Andy brammer
C - Casey Fuller
Bench - Curtis Greene, Joel Cesena, Freddie Garces, Eric Garton, Jack Baldwin, Lin Vong
The Flash are an up tempo team that love to run the fast break. Many feel that Flash Team Captain Duane James is the best player in the league. Many compare his ability and style of play to Lebron James of the NBA. James can shoot, drive, pass exceptionally well, and do everything else reasonably well. James can also move to the PF position without any troubles. James doesn't have to do it all on his on though, as the point guard Garrett Lily gives the Flash a formidable 1-2 punch. SG/SF Curtis Greene attacks the rim with a ferciousness of a player who knows he can't make a jumper to save his life. He is very athletic and has potential to get better, but right now he is a 6th man at best. PF Andy Brammer and Center Casey Fuller are a mostly a finesse players in the post.
Offense: B+

The Vipers
Pg - (C) Brandon Patterson (66)
Sg- Christian Taliping (52)
Sf - Michael Shankel (58)
Pf- Rico Hurtado (63)
C - Samson Vinson (65)
Bench - Brian Bray, Sajid Ansari, Caleb Decker, Chaske Martin, Greg Gaskell, Octavio Herrada
Team Captain Brandon Patterson is a talented scoring point guard with a reputation for putting up bad shots. He would be better suited as a shoot guard, but the Vipers offense revolves around Patterson having the ball in his hands constantly. When Patterson doesn't have the ball, The Vipers have a fairly simple offense; they like to feed it inside to Samson Vinson and allow him to dish it back out if he doesn't have a shot and there is an open man. This works for the Vipers because Vinson is an animal down low who fights hard every minute and they have some great three-point shooters, specifically Caleb Decker and Brian Bray. The Vipers biggest weakness is rebounding.

The Rams
Pg - Jae Santos (42)
Sg - (c) R.J. Jefferson (66)
Sf - Neil Carrera (48)
Pf - Travis Rogers (61)
C- Johnny Thompson (54)
Bench - Arnold Spencer, Ahmed Boone, Mike Christy, Dave Harris, Ken Lee, Curtis Jones, Jason Hampton
The Rams are very limited offensively. Everything is centered around team captain R.J. Jefferson. He has the green light to shoot as much as he pleases. They have size, so they love to post up. They're bench is very limited, and the team suffer when they play a large amount of minutes. It's an efficient team for the most part that knows what it does well, rely on it, and do it efficiently. They occasionally the zone on defense.

The Jets
Pg - (C) Billy Witty (54)
Sg - DeSean Marshall (63)
Sf - Michael McDevitt (54)
Pf - Tareek Graham (58)
C - Rob Regan (52)
Bench - Eric Stefanowicz, Jim Armstrong, Ralph Maldonado, Fred Bielecki, Adam Gramlich, Oscar Quitnano, Bobby Chaffin
Befitting their name, The Jets run a fast paced run and gun offesne based on the Paul Westheads The System, Nellie Ball, and Mike D'Antoni's 7 Seconds or Less offense. The game plan is to fastbreak at every opportunity, put up a ton of shots, and eventually tire out your opponents. This small ball offense plays to the Jets players strengths, as they have alot of good passers, and fast players with good endurance. Team Captain and Point Guard Billy Witty is the conductor of the offense, and the offense really struggles when he is out of the game. Sg DeSean Marshall is considered by many to be a "tweener", because he is not a pure point guard or a pure shooting guard, but has many of the talents required by each position. His quickness and his bal handling make him a very dynamic offensive player. Forward Tareek Graham is more of an offensive threat than a Defensive one. Despite his talents, he has been known to be a finger pointer and often participant in the blame game. No a down low threat, offensively or defensively. He stays back and shoot the set shot and drive to a pull up jumper. On Defense he would much rather strip a rebound than attempt to get one himself. Jim Armstrong isn't a good fit for the team and usually slows the offense down. Win or lose, they will usually give up alot of points. Center Rob Regan is a much better fit. The team utilizes a deep bench with many different rotations.

The Wildcats are a well built team. With a specialist at nearly every position, they don't have any glaring weaknesses. Kirk Kule is a 3 point specialist, Ed Botelho is the teams defensive stopper. Team Captain James Blake is the anchor down low. He does all of the things you expect from a big guy, and he really hustles for a guy his size too. PF Jackson Holland compliments Blake well, and can shoulder the load when necessary. A late addition to the team, Kieran Smith is an undersized power forward whos post moves and scoring abilities allow him to hang with the giants of the league. The undersized Aussie won't make anyone foprget about Luc Longely, but he will provide much needed depth at the Center and PF position. The Wildcats play a 10 man rotation, and don't use a deep bench.

The Flames
Pg - Jonny Frost (58)
Sg - (c) Kurt Hardy (56)
Sf - Dmitiri Gabriel (51)
Pf - Guy Elsner (55)
C - Rob Danzig (55)
Bench - Sean Richards (61) John Miller, Dean Bierton, Hugh Finn, Kenny Robinson, Donatello Dulay, Dusty Saunter
The Flames offensive pace is extremely slow, as they prefer to grind out possessions and run set plays through Jonny Frost and Captain Kurt Hardy. Guy Elsner and Rob Danzig are scrappy big men who do the dirty work like set screens, rebound, and play defense. With so many offensive minded players, playing defense is considered dirty work to most of the Flame players.
