Doing a What if(2nd Chance) Roster with players who had their careers ruined by injury added back into current rosters. Only mid 90's and up All Stars and young players who never got to fulfill potential(If someone wants to do an All time with guys like Bill Walton, Ralph Sampson, Len Bias etc. fine by me but too much work for me). Also planning a What if(NBA draft redo) Roster from probably 1983 Draft and up where hindsight sets the draft order each year for example 84 Draft would have Jordan going #1 to Houston and Olajuwon going #2 to POR(only doing allstars & superstars though).
2nd Chance Roster:
So Far i have chosen the final full year ratings in which the player was at his best b4 injuries took over or slowed down their prime.
Players complete:
Grant Hill: DET 97/98 ratings 25yo. 21ppg 8rpg 7apg (Or should i do 27 yo. 25.8ppg the year he got the ankle injury?)
Penny Hardaway: ORL 95/96 ratings 24yo. 22ppg 4rpg 7apg (last healthy year)
T-Mac: HOU 04/05 ratings 25yo. 26ppg 6rpg 6apg (1st season w/ HOU b4 back and knee problems.Or should i do 03/04 with Orlando the year he initially hurt his back?)
Brandon Roy: POR 08/09 24yo. 23ppg 5rpg 5apg (last healthy season)
Yao Ming: HOU 04/05 24yo. 18ppg 8rpg (Need CF)
Jamal Mashburn: DAL 94/95 22yo. 24ppg 4rpg 4apg (Need CF)
Glenn Robinson: MIL 96/97 24yo. 21ppg 6rpg
Michael Redd: MIL 05/06 26yo. 25ppg 4rpg 3apg
Baron Davis: NO 01/02 22yo. 18ppg 4rpg 8.5apg
Shaun Livingston: LAC 06/07 21yo. 9ppg 5apg(never got to fulfill potential with gruesome knee injury)
Jonathan Bender: IND 01/02 21yo. 7ppg 3rpg (Need CF- extremely mobile 7fter who never got to reach potential)
Jay Williams: CHI 02/03 21yo. 9ppg 5apg (Need CF-#2 overall pick career ending injury after rookie campaign)
Who else should i add to the roster? Vince Carter? Gilbert Arenas? Antonio Mcdyess? Steve Francis? Starbury? Derrick Coleman? Terrell Brandon? It starts to get difficult to say if a guy like Vice Carter who played such a long career had his career changed bc of missing a lot of games in his prime. Thoughts and player requests? (Remember only mid 90's and up and really young players who had obvious star potential that never got fulfilled due to injury)
