2016-2017 Recap

Russell Westbrook PG, OKC win regular Season MVP.
Marvin Quinn PG, CHI wins Rookie of the year

Your NBA Champions are the Cleveland Cavaliers, repeating in a rematch against Golden State. Winning the series 4-2. As Lebron takes the Finals MVP.

In the college ranks, A legendary star studded Uconn teams goes down in their only loss of the season to Kansas in the National Title game. Ryan Miller of Kansas, went above and beyond the call of duty putting the team on his back scoring 37, as they go on and win 82-76. But the major story came from Uconn star player Mark Logan who threw his team under the bus saying "Some of the guys came in here a little over confident and weren't totally focused. Lets be honest." It seems that Mark was the only player who left it all out there on the court.

Draft: Probably the deepest draft with loads of potential in the right places. There is major talent in the SF, PF, and the C positions. Draft consensus have Mark Logan and Cody Jones going 1-2, respectively as the clear top two talents. Definitive corner stones to build around, you can't go wrong with either Cody the better scorer, while Mark is the better defender. They have never faced off in college but the media speculates, It would be comparable to Jordan vs Bird. If you needed a big, this the draft to get one, low post scorers in Leon Porter and Will Stanley. Reliable defenders and shot blockers in Brian Graham, DJ Drew, Charles Adams, and David Hobbs. The top shooters are reportedly Ryan Miller, Michael Moore, and Victor Brown.
