The Best Young Players to Sign in NBA 2K17: Power Forwards

[RaychelSnr]

When I start MyGM in NBA 2K17, one of the first things I do is look at my team roster. What are its weaknesses? Who are my best players? Who can I unload to try and improve my team?

One thing that is thoroughly enjoyable (for me at least) is taking my team and building a powerhouse based on youth and potential. The team might be average to begin with, but after a season or two -- and some improvement in player ratings -- my young studs usually grow into seasoned monsters.

I’ve taken the liberty of listing the top five young players at each position who have high potential and a high ceiling. You can target these players to help your team immediately, or after a few seasons of growth. The players are listed based on in-game overall; potential and basic info can be seen as well.

I mean, but how do you ever get Anthony Davis. This is less like a who-to-sign and more just the straight up best young players.

Yep, all the lists have been like this. Misleading, kind of goofy.

Good luck getting any of those top 5 in your mygm. When I saw this write up, I got excited because I thought they would suggest maybe under-rated players not the "Best PF."

Odds are high the top 5 centers will be
1. Cousins
2.Embiid
3.KAT
4. Gobert
5. Drummond

I don't want to pile on the author of this series, but the lists are just foolish -- players on each one are franchise certerpieces that are all but unattainable. Concept is good, but execution is unfortunate.

I would put this less on the writer and more on the game itself. It should be tough as hell to sign any of these guys, but just like in real life, there should be random occurrences of big players moving team ala Shaq, Howard, Durant. Moves like this do happen, but often the game AI does not allow this. Same could be said for Madden and NHL too.

Shaq and Durant left as UFA after years with their teams. Can't remember about Howard, but think he did, too? So that's not really "random." Porzingas can be traded for at a very high price in the game, but if you want Davis or another superstar, he'll be tied up until AFTER his RFA contract because the team will match any offers made...by then, it's not really a "best young player" list, eh?
