Maybe these can get me over the hump..
Elton Brand
Old Ratings: A- C C- A- A- C
New Ratings: A- C C- A A C
Why Defense?: In NRSL, he only gets 1.7 BPG. In his NBA, his CAREER averagie higher than that. He has been a 2+ BPG scorer every season except for his rookie and sophomore years where he averaged 1.6. He deserves better in the blocking and post defense categories.
Why Rebounding?: Again, his career is higher than his this season. He averages 10+ RPG career, where here he averages only 8.
Also: Maybe jumpshot 1 or 2 because he averages .500 FG% his career only 3 seasons where it was under. And strength two, because no matter what he always plays less than 35 minutes even when I put him 1st and 2nd strig. This will allow him to play his real life time.
Sam Cassell
Old Ratings: B- B B B+ C C
New Ratings: B B B/B+ C C
Why Inside?: He's still got game. In NRSL, he gets over 30 MPG, scoring 11 PPG. However, he's clearly better than that because he averages less than 25 MPG in the NBA and gets 13 PPG. So maybe a jumpshot or inside increase scoring there. Every season where he has got 30+ MPG he has scored at least 16 PPG.
Handling: A higher B if not B+. In limited time he gets 4.5 APG, and he is still fast.
Brand got his rebounding upped that is it.
Cassell didn't get anything except a slight bump in scoring with no grade change....he gets over 6 apg...is that not good enough for you?
