S69 Town Hall #4: Naughty & Nice

[pennpanther1]

Rules: 1 point if you give thoughtful answers which I will award after the timer ends for responses. The timer ends for responses at the moment the corresponding week's Sim is run.

Note: Use approximately 5 sentences as your bare minimum for 1 point. If you write 3 long, complex sentences, you'll still get a point. If you write 5 3 word sentences, you will not get a point. Don't @ me.

Christmas is just around the corner now with Sim #4. Who on your team has been good? And who deserves a lump of coal?

[pennpanther1]

Good: Kamari Brown and Colton Johnson. Both players are playing at an incredibly efficient rate and really brought up their scoring this season which has been sorely lacking in the 6ix for several seasons now. I think Colton Johnson especially deserves praise as he has brought a lot of energy off the bench.

Bad: Evan Barber got hit in TC and lost his rookie option. I always liked his skillset but there was a glut in my frontcourt so he never got playing time. I think he got offended and decided to tank. Well hopefully he finds his footing elsewhere because he will not be returning next season.

Good: My entire team are getting boats for Christmas to show them we expect to be in the Championship this season. Ron Harper continues to be a fantastic offseason decision for me along with Amos carrying the team.

Bad: My young guys just need either experience or more training in certain areas. A couple of my losses can be attributed to either Lindsey or Kofi underperforming. Lindsey had a 1 point game, and Kofi had a 2 point game, as starters on a good team this is unacceptable.

Peewee Kirkland is a given but Tony Newland has been playing well. Could have not ask for a better start. His injury will hurt the team for a sim but he seems to be moving in the right direction this season. Hopefully once he's back on the court he will be even better. Looking forward to see how the season goes for him. As far as bad idk if there are any disappointments on the roster as of yet.

Merry Christmas from Australia (I guess Christmas in July). Good to know PBSL has finally gone international.

Bad: Short term injury to my best player, Scoot. Candice Parker still hasn't arrived. I might still have my rookie assets at the end of the season. Boooo!
League Bad: One trade at the 60 day mark! Talk about a dead market! Watching Kel'el Ware wither away.

Good: We are winning even without Scoot for the last two sims. I think a trade is coming soon, that should improve my squad. Dominitrix Johnson and Angel Reese are killing it. Poole is doing his job, even if he's being paid too much for his production.

[garbageman]

Good: Mac McClung should be on pace to have the season I was hoping he'd have yesterday before getting injured for most of the season. I've probably jinxed that with this answer, though.

Bad: I'd probably say Brandon Ingram. It's not that he's awful, but for a guy with 99 INS and 100 TPS, I'd like to see a little more efficiency out of him.

When out on the lawn there arose such a chatter.... Maxwell Lewis served up on a platter.
Is it gold is it platinum, or maybe just silver. Either way the guy is balling got the opps on a quiver.
They get scared when they see him coming at them full speed. He's been the biggest surprise on the team...nah the league.
Dude went and got paid, and had a wonderful camp. One day he'll be the MVP and also a champ.
That day is mostly likely, not coming up. Because Phil went and got hurt which ****ed it all up.

Idk man maybe I shouldn't blame Phil, because now Lampley is hurt, man what's the deal.
Is the true naughty guy, the strength and conditioning coach? Because how is everybody hurt, man we look like a joke.
Most expensive payroll in the league, man where do I begin. I'm getting sick of this sh*t, I just wanna win.
It ain't happening with this team, yeah I've accepted that. Maybe I'll get enough points to run it right back.
But if we have another mid a$$ sim, you might see me turn into the Grinch I'm Him.
And then after I pout and moan, I'll turn into Santa. You'll think it's a mood swing and wonder what's the matter.
I know y'all think that I'm just a big talker. But F it, Johnny on the block now make me an offer.

Good: Tony Lee. Easily best player on the team averaging almost 24 points and 6 rebounds. Also shooting over 40% from deep. At only 23 years old, I hope he wants to stay through this “rebuild”

Bad: Team defense. We’ve shown the ability to score at will but even in games we score a lot, we give up even more points. Would like to see this defense come together at some point and hopefully be able to string together some wins

Nice: Safi Fino-A-Laself and Paolo Banchero are the top dogs, as should be the case. Both guys adding 20+ points and 9+ rebounds. Safi also hits the top 25 in numerous categories. Robby Owens is also a fun bench player, finding himself hovering around the leader board for STLs.

Naughty: Banchero's QKN, which is the only thing that's kept him from staying purple and being on the move already in a trade. Raphael Gordon has been just wasting minutes off my bench so far. Maximo Morales isn't getting the assists as easily as I imagined he would.

Nice: the starting 5. I mean I cannot complain about how this team is playing. They play as a unit, rotate offense and defense effectively. They really do click and play well off one another.

However if I had to pick a naughty… SVG my dude I saw what you did in Faux Sim 1 and know what’s inside you. Release the beast and put the league on notice. The opportunity is there for your taking with Bernardo out for a couple more sims. Make your presence known!!!!

[K-100]

Good: Desmond Bane and Tennessee Rainwater are really impressing me so far this season. Look it is easy to put up gaudy numbers on the league's worst team but these guys are playing efficient ball and that is all a coach can ask for at this stage of their careers.

Bad: Markus Ridenhour, look again this is a far from ideal situation but Ridenhour's efficiency has cratered this season. The blame should fall on the coach and GM for not getting him any relief but Ridenhour is making a strong case for wordt contract in the league.

It's been a rough start for the Cavs. On my positive side, that's an easy one. Jonathan Isaac and Devin Vassell are playing at a elite level. Both players will be an all-star again.

On the negative side, I'm happy on Isaac and Vassell. However, I expected more wins from both of them. Both players are not rookies. Both players are veterans and played a lot of games. Yes, I expect more leadership from both of them. Maybe not first place, but I expect a 13-10 start. That's how good I think they are.

Not all it's their fault. The truth is PG Garland flat out sucked during TC. I think that's the main reason the Cavs have struggle.

[Xist2Inspire]

Nice: Amen Thompson being the leader of this team. He's had 3 triple-doubles already, and despite his overall scoring being down, he's averaging the most assists of his career. His efficiency is also in line with his last few seasons. He's absolutely the engine driving us right now.

Naughty: The young guys being young. I'm really not asking much out of any of them aside from Trantham, but the efficiency is just not there. Castaneda can't shoot, Currin has looked awful in her limited minutes, Dia is mediocre in his, Seawright feels like he should be a bit more capable than he is right now, and there's no excuse for Trantham's efficiency not being at least average by now. Shinn's the only one performing up to par, but he's a big. I hope the kiddos aren't expecting team success to result in gifts.
