According to the height/weight converter I am 5'8" without shoes. 172 cm. But have not measured my height in a while.

That would make you taller than Paul, who is about 5'7" & 1/2" without shoes. How close are you to Stef's height?

Btw, Stef chose your hair. You're going to love it :cool:

So you can edit draft pick appearances in this? Exciting.

I always thought I was taller than Paul. He's a bit wider than me so probably looks as tall or taller. Also, first impressions mean a lot and I think I've grown a cm or 2 since u both first met and saw me. :)

I think I'm close to Stef but she is still a bit taller than me. Will need to measure my height again soon!

Yep, you sure can edit appearances. I just chose to edit a few of the likely undrafted guys for us that have similar skill sets so I didn't have to edit every single detail. They still need fine tuning (like your jumpshot & FT style) but it should be sweet. In this class I've only put in myself, you and Lamrock (since he's missed out on being one in each dynasty I've had) as it takes a little while to do them & I couldn't be bothered doing a lot. I'm not taking requests, just doing NLSC-ers as I choose fit. There is enough info in other threads to make them :twisted:

Anyways, I'll put you at 5'8" & I'll re-evaluate on Wednesday :lol:

Nice March Madness section, really creative idea and looked excellent as per usual. Surprised that neither Evan Turner nor Xavier Henry made an all-american team! :cool:

Thanks. Yep, Henry only just missed out on the 2nd Team, probably because he was a freshman. Both he and Turner were however Honorable Mention All-Americans. Turner was in line for Player of the Year honours until he broke his back (see viewtopic.php?p=1144620#p1144620), but given his full recovery he seems a lock to be picked in the top 5.

Fordham was just lucky that Xavier got upset by St. Joseph's, so your Conference Semi Final matchup was much easier. Still surprising for Fordham to make it. Definitely a Cinderella run, that's for sure (Y)

Yep. Atlantic 10 conference tourney title then NCAA Tourney. Fordham needed to win the automatic bid to qualify, otherwise you probably would've been NIT fodder.

Oh yeah, Kansas wins it all. I have to take a look at Henry as I don't know him very well. Only know Aldrich of the Jayhawks so far as I kind of get to know the NCAA players by doing my scouting reports ^^

Good update (Y)

Cheers, yep, I need to check out Henry more too. One of top freshmen in nation & is the leading scorer for the the #1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks (Y)

Sit wrote:I meant it was all simmed on the video game? :)

No, this one was done using my little crystal ball. Although after posting it, yep, I had the same thought you did. I'll probably use College Hoops 2k8 for next season's one. I'm going to download '09/10 rosters, bump up early leaver's ratings so they declare for draft in 2010 & then sim forward a season. You will love it. But yes, that's where the Fordham/Virginia Tech inspirations came from :P

Patience is a virtue. As previously said, I'm limiting it to 3 a year & prospects won't be studs, just players battling to try to scratch out NBA careers. When the time comes, you will know :twisted:

Postby The X on Tue Jan 05, 2010 10:55 am

Hey all,

Played my final season game against the Magic. It is up on 2k blog:

Image

I will do season summary (Bucks' player stats, award winners, All-NBA/Def/Rook teams) and 1st Round playoff preview in coming day or two. Holidays are ending so keen to get them out of the way, then back into routine & updates will start to slow down.

I've also updated the Team Hall of Fame section (viewtopic.php?p=1140852#p1140852)

Congrats on finishing your first season. That epic failure of a second half of the season will play dividends when you get Turner.

It will be interesting to see where 9-20 places you amongst the lottery - Have you considered taking someone like a Favors, Patterson or Monroe? Or are you leaning more towards Turner/Wall?
