Well this has been a waste of a preseason for us since I keep fucking downloading the wrong fucking file

[KW]

well Lofton is ready

that's all I was trying to get out of this

4-0 sim

Wins Vs. PHI, DET, WAS & HOU

Patton looking like a #1 offensive option, and surrounding him with defenders and spacing seems to be working so far. Just a preseason game but I like what I see. Kai Jones is looking very interesting.

2-3 sim as we fielded in Morant to stabilizes our young group. Pretty contented with what i saw, especially from the young blood trio of Tsalmpouris, Liddell and Sotto. They are ready to come in and give the starters some minutes to spare.

After hearing early chatter of other rookies being ahead of him as potential best player in the class and RoY Scottie Barnes put up:

10pts 8rebs 5asts
12pts 8rebs
16pts 2rebs
7pts 4rebs

Of note his best game coming against a PF from a WC team whom the Magic have been watching closely and had preliminary talks in trading for.

We went 2-2 in that stretch.

Maybe we should rethink this.

Stay tuned...

Much better with a few adjustments as we go 4-2 this sim averaging 97 a game but only allowing 92.

Disregarding the first sim stats and only taking into account these 6 games, got some good insights into the players.

- Butler isn't ready just yet and still needs some development time but so far, shows off a great all around game
- We have high hopes for Bozic but he's going to need big preference work to get him shooting in the correct spots
- Cockburn looks like a beast in the making. This sim was 13.7 points shooting 62.2% to go with 10.3 rebounds
- Mays looks like he could be a contributor. Averaged 19 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals shooting 43.2% this sim
.- Achiuwa, Bazley, Pelle all great depth to have off the bench

Like the depth we have and how we can change it up when need be.

On some other notes...

- Jovic just wow! Averaging pretty much a triple double and shooting 53.6% from the field in only his 2nd season
- Lofton Jnr averaging over 26 a game at over 57% with 10 boards
- Christ showing us what he can do averaging over 25 a game at 55%, 9 boards and 2.3 blocks

Oh yeah and Bulls are a perfect 10-0 and outscoring opponents by 14.3 points a game. Fit over talent baby!

- Lofton Jnr averaging over 26 a game at over 57% with 10 boards

I'm not actually playing my good players, the 2nd sim was literally just me maxing out his shot attempts

Lofton has definitely earned a spot in our rotation though. At a minimum, I'm hoping for an efficient 10/6 in 20ish minutes. His defense is still a mess (a d will never not be a mess) but I'm excited to see him

Yeah we all know it's preseason but still good to look at how anyone does otherwise we caveat everything / may as well skip straight to the regular season.

[Rizzo]

Ahh feels good to be back. I finally get a DC in with my setup and we go off and lose more than we win. Right back to normal in Brooklyn with Rizzo at the helm!

[drumr]

Decided to put Aldama in the Porter role for shits n giggles and whew boy did the whole thing go off the rails lol. Bench played better this sim but still can see the need for a pg. I might have to make a move for 3rd pg to be safe.

[Andrewu91]

We did alright. Started Sheppard and he basically stood there but we went 4-1

[mgtr81]

Just keep testing things, as with so many new players we will need plenty of time to make adjustments.
