SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) It's high time for another video game-based simultation using TGP-created characters. I believe F4E has done something similar to this concept before, but it was a long time ago. THE IDEA: We get 10 TGPers to create players who become the starting lineup to two NBA teams, one in the East and one in the West. However, we make both teams AWESOME, as in, 70+ wins awesome. This is a single-season simulation. No offseason, no year-by-year progress, just one year where only one team can win the title. Miscellaneous Details: Each team can simply take over an existing franchise (i.e. Philadelphia 76ers), modify an existing one (Philadelphia Knights), or create a new one (Richmond Knights). Whichever teams we "take over," their starters will either be released outright or traded to other teams for bench depth. Regarding the rest of the league, we can either leave the default rosters for the 2008-09 (!) season (I have old games, I'm sorry), or do a fantasy draft. In this case, I would force trades after the draft so we got our guys, and the rest of the league would be essentially random. Teams might add a 6th man if there is sufficient demand among TGPers. I will only create a player myself if it is needed to get us to 10 players. If you'd like to join, here's the sign-up sheet! ------------------------------------ Which team would you like to join?

Cherry 1,302 Posted June 24, 2017 The west gets its center! Do them 2008-2009 rosters, boss. Name: Marco Malgritti Position: C Jersey #: 43 Age: 20 Years Pro: R College: Iona Body Type: Thick Muscle Definition: Normal Height: 7'3" Weight: 315 pounds Hand: Left Accessories: Headband (black) Play style (optional): Power Attributes Field Goals: B+ 3 Pointers: D+ Free Throws: B Dunking: A+ Inside Scoring: A Offensive Rebounds: A+ Jumping: A Strength: A+ Quickness: A- Speed: A- Passing: B+ Dribbling: B- Offensive Awareness: A- Defensive Rebounds: A+ Stealing: C+ Blocking: A+ Defensive Awareness: A+ Marco originally hails from the western end of the island of Sicily, but came to America as a teenager to play basketball. He received few scholarship offers out of high school due to his lack of height, as he was only 6'6" heading into his college career. However, he shot up to nearly 7' after accepting an offer to play ball at Iona university. He annihilated the MAAC as a freshman, and won conference MVP honors. However, despite carrying them to a 23-7 regular season record, the Gaels were bounced in the second round of the conference tournament, and did not receive a bid for the NCAA tournament. They finished in third place in the NIT tournament. In his sophomore season, Marco shattered nearly every conference record for points and rebounds, and led the Gaels to a 27-3 regular season record. He averaged just over 25 points per game, and nearly 15 rebounds as well. This dominance got him noticed by scouts, and he quickly drew admiration as he dispatched the other teams in the MAAC tournament. By the time the tournament was announced, his Gaels were placed as a #3 seed and seen as one of the best mid major programs to arrive in years. The tournament didn't go perfectly, as Marco began to accumulate injuries over the course of the tournament, but he managed to make a final four run, and came a missed jumper away from a championship appearance. His draft stock soared, leading to him being picked #3 by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2008 NBA draft. However, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Kevin Love and another pick. The contract discussions with Memphis did not go as planned, and Marco has been traded once again, this time to one of the juggernaut teams in NBA. He is seen of as one of the best bigs to come out in the last decade, and the only thing expected to hold him back is the jump in level of competition. (I'm down to be part of them Supersonics.)

His body style is deceptive because of his speed. He's muscular and looks stocky but he's still lean as far as fat is concerned and is very quick. He's a rangy defender who can guard the 1-4 in today's game, but isn't a Draymond Green style 6-7 that can handle Centers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
