Emeka Okafor made the sophomore team, but will play off the bench.

[The_Flying_Tomato]

Smith always makes the starting lineup for sophs, it's annoying

[Jing]

hm. kinda suprising petro and macijauskas were starting.
well what can you say about smith, he's popular.. though i STRONGLY disagree having okafor coming off the bench. wtf

[Anthony15]

I dunno wut Petro is doing on the starting line up. Macijauskas is actually donig very well, because Hornets don't have a SG(remember i traded for Smith) and he is their only option. He averages like 15 PPG!

i know, j.smith is very popular. Okafor should start, his team is doing better, he is doing better in stats...so freakin unfair.

[Blasphemy]

WTF? EMeka Okafor isnt a starter???

[Rommas]

smith wasnt in my sophomore starters

[kibaxx7]

Petro? What about Villanueva, Frye, or Diogu? That sucks

[Anthony15]

Petro? What about Villanueva, Frye, or Diogu? That sucks

Villanueva made the team, but Frye and Diogu didn't. I'm posting the rookie/sophomore bench players so u wouldn't ask me who is on the bench

[Ruff Ryder]

How did Smush make the Sophomore team? He's been around since 02-03 with Cleveland.

[The X]

12-4 record is a bit too good for Bobcats this season....would like to see a couple more losses

[The_Flying_Tomato]

shut up

[Jing]

shut up

yeah smush is interesting isnt he

Not cool man, I have build a team that is capable of winning a championship. I have good starters, a desent bench, good staff. What else do u need to win the games?

About Parker being a sophomore: In Andrew's roster it says he only has 1 year of experience. This is his second year, and he counts as a sophomore in the game.

[ShAuN]

Nice team with QRich, Peja Pkafor and Knight. 12-4 is realistic, maybe 10-6 would be better but who the hell cars its ur dynasty....Cant wait for ASW

[kibaxx7]

Wow nice to see Smush there! Simien is in Seattle?

[Anthony15]

Fixed

what are you on about? I was just joking man, hence the & the

it's good that you've developed your team and you're winning, I was just having a laugh (mostly at my expense) in response to your comment in my dynasty
