List of players only in historic draft classes

[jimbo3772]

After reviewing all of the historic draft classes in 2K20, the following are classic players who are in the game but only available in the draft classes and aren't on any of the all-time or classic teams. They can easily be exported from the historic draft classes through the DNA feature though. Figured this list might be useful for anyone making custom rosters.


2K20 List:

1960 - Darrall Imhoff (should be on 64-65 Lakers), Lenny Wilkens
1978 - Clemon Johnson, George Johnson
1979 - Clint Richardson
1985 - Manute Bol
1987 - Reggie Lewis
1988 - Rex Chapman
1990 - Cedric Ceballos
1993 - Gheorghe Muresan
1998 - Cuttino Mobley
2000 - Darius Miles
2001 - Jason Collins (should be on 01-02 Nets)
2002 - Jay Williams
2003 - Luke Ridnour, Brian Cook (should be on 03-04 Lakers)
2005 - Jason Maxiell, Ronny Turiaf
2007 - Yi Jianlan

(Wilkens, Bol, Muresan and Miles were pulled off all-franchise teams from 2K19)


Prior List from 2K19:

1960 draft class - Darrall Imhoff (should be on 64-65 Lakers)
1978 draft class - Clemon Johnson, George Johnson
1979 draft class - Clint Richardson
1987 draft class - Reggie Lewis
1988 draft class - Rex Chapman
1990 draft class - Cedric Ceballos
1992 draft class - Walt Williams
1998 draft class - Cuttino Mobley
1999 draft class - Andre Miller
2001 draft class - Jason Collins (should be on 01-02 Nets)
2002 draft class - Jay Williams, Drew Gooden
2003 draft class - Luke Ridnour, Brian Cook (should be on 03-04 Lakers)
2005 draft class - Jason Maxiell, Ronny Turiaf
2007 draft class - Greg Oden, Yi Jianlan

(From the 2K19 list, Walt Williams is now on the 02-03 Mavs, Andre Miller and Greg Oden are now on the 09-10 Blazers, and Drew Gooden is now on the 06-07 Cavs in 2K20)

For players that are only in the historic draft classes and not found anywhere else in the game, yes...although there might be a really low rated guy or two in there somewhere that I missed. Everyone else in the historic draft classes is also in the game as a current player or on one of the all-time teams or classic teams.

Isn't Imhoff on the 65 Lakers? It'd be odd if he's in the draft class but not the classic team.

(Random trivia: He was the one guarding Wilt during his 100 point game).

He should be but he's not on their team in the game....same with Cook and the 03-04 Lakers. I double-checked the classic and all-time rosters to make sure these guys weren't in the game elsewhere. I suspect they probably just didn't touch the classic teams at all.

Is there a way to move these guys to the main roster, without loading the draft class to a season?

Yes, just go to the player and export his DNA. He will then be on your created players list and you can put him anywhere you want after that.

Jason Collins is in th 2001 draft class, I don’t think he shows up anywhere else.
