I just saw 2.0 and I assumed it was Price. I didn't notice it was Starks until after I clicked it.

Jax > Maravich
But Price average 8.8 quality apg on .9 quality TO per game. He also had great leadership and defense. Price > Maravich and I'd probably take him over Jax (although it's really close... Jax was very consistent throughout the season. His 3 point shooting was amazing).
Maravich is proof that point production is overvalued. Not to say he wasn't good. He has the most training points of anyone in the league, so he's way more than just a scorer. But his stats don't support him for MVP. I would've liked to see one of the defensive/rebounding big men get a nod. Instead, all the MVP candidates are high scorers.

It's hard to value defense. For instance, Roy's defense is somewhere in the 120s now plus a lvl 2 player chemistry which gives him a defensive bonus on top of that, but yet is set to not take chances and get back on defense. Defense holds down the opponents scoring, but its impossible to know just how much a high def. player is affecting that, especially if his sliders are set to play conservative D and not take chances (go for steals).

Maravich exploded for 34 points and 10 rebounds tonight. It was against crappy competition, but for some reason that doesn't make a difference a lot of the time.

Price had a decent game too. He was a great distributor as usual, but his shooting sucked. 13 assists and 1 turnover.
9/6/2008 0 - 5 0 - 2 0 - 0 0 13 2 0 1 0
He's now averaging 8.9 quality assists per game this season, which is 15th in the entire Court Rivals league.

1st pick: Reggie Fils-Aime
Reggie needs some love.
17.6 rebounds per game and 2.7 blocks. The man's a pure beast. Once he got rolling, he had stretches of 5 - 6 games where he averaged 25+ rebounds per game.

2nd pick... hmm it's between Tarpley and Booth.
On one hand, Tarpley is a more efficient scorer, and that is helpful to a team's defense because scores give the team time to get back on defense. He also was a marginally better rebounder and turned the ball over less. On the other, Booth is nearly equal to Tarpley in all categories, but far exceeds him in one: steals. 3.4 to 1.1. It's a difference in defensive philosphy. Tarpley plays 100% conservative defense and Booth plays 64% gambling (omg I'm leaking secrets).
Since I have no faith in this sim, I'm going to pick Booth. I recall reading a few posts on the messageboards about how defense doesn't actually limit another team's scoring opportunities - it just increases your own. If that really is the case, the game is fundamentally broken.
Anyway, it's a close call, but Booth because I loved watching him get 8 steals in a game.

for most of the season, booth actually was at 20% take chances on defense. that's when he had the huge steals (like 6 or 8 per game).
DCX is controlling Booth now. it's weird though. he's at 60% take chances and now he's only getting 1 or 2 steals per game.
but Reggie is easily DPoY.
Booth should be in contention for all-around though. he had two near triple-doubles.

I'm not back yet... it takes about a month to get internet installed in Japan... so what is the deal with Smush?
I made a forward (center) two weeks ago. I got up to 470's before this rollback mostly building as a major blocking minor rebounding build. One thing that bothered me was looking at the top teams almost all of the 7'+ guys were major strength rebounding and didn't seem to do much else.
It's been pretty fun so far, I wish I could get my guy to listen to what I want him to do a bit more. Even with 100% attack the basket and 75% pass more my guy shot 2-11 last game mostly on "turnaround jumpers". He did get his 14 bounds and 6 blocks at least. Our team finished with 6 straight wins and that was fun.
I created a pass first pg tonight to see what that's like.
