Player Complaints 2012 rookie draft

[Player Agent]

This will be open once the agent draft is over

With the tiers that both agents and GM's help put together (which will be posted on here) agents will use that for player complaints, when an agent wants to make a complaint against someone else's rookie client they can post here about a paragraph about why that player won't reach his potential/won't do well in the NBA/should drop in the draft etc etc. Agents are really trying to convince me that the players potential should go down, but ultimately, they need to be convincing enough for GM's to believe that player should not pick that player. Since this is the first season we're doing this, you can't give a player more then -5 potential. But, if your convincing enough and it goes through, you can do -10 potential next year and if your successful again -20 (once you do 20, it starts back to -5 again).

Now, what the agent could be saying could be completely false, this gives the agent of their own rookie the chance to save that player from falling to far in the draft and possibly even exceed that players potential (yes I'm giving that option up to +5, but it won't exceed the set max I have set for potentials). Agents can post another paragraph about why what the agent is saying is completely false. Again, your trying to convince GM's that what the agent is saying is completely false, but I decide whether or not your convincing enough.

In the case for myself, I will post my arguement, and will need atleast 2 pm's telling me that my arguement is convincing enough, if I don't get them, my players potentials go down. If I do get them however, then they don't. If I get 4 pm's, I can then raise my own players potentials to +5 (and I will definitely post proof of this, no worries there).

Again, there can only be 1 complaint for tier 1 and 2, 2 for tier 3,4,5 (now that we have 8 agents), this will be a first come first serve thing, if you miss out then you will have to do the next tier. Agents don't have to do this, but if a team drafts a player they feel they can move a few spots up by doing this, then it's worth doing.

here are the tiers
Tier 1
Anthony Davis - Damian Lillard - Andre Drummond

Tier 2
MKG - Harrison Barnes - Jeremy Lamb - Bradley Beal - Dion Waiters

Tier 3
Royce White - Thomas Robinson - Terrence Ross - Kendall Marshall - Jared Sullinger

Tier 4
Perry Jones - Moe Harkless - Andrew Nicholson - Austin Rivers - Doron Lamb - Fab Melo - John Jenkins

Tier 5
Terrence Jones - Scott Machado - Marquis Teague - Kris Joseph -Quincy Acy -Casper Ware -Tony Wroten jr.

Jeremy Lamb is selfish -5 potential

despite winning the national championship the year before, Jeremy Lamb has been a selfish player while being in college. He only averaged 1.7 assist last year and actually averaged more turnovers then he did assist as well (also averaged 1.3 turnovers on 1.6 assist the year before). Lamb can't be averaging assist and turnovers like that in the NBA and be a good player. It was the reason why Andre Drummond didn't have a very good college career despite being the best high school prospect in the country the year before and why UConn couldn't do better then 1st round knockout last year.

Teams should only go for him if they have a veteran team, which means he should not be a lottery pick this year, he won't ruin a young team, but he will hurt some players in developing. Last thing young teams need is the 2nd coming of J.R. Smith

Andre Drummond -5 potential for simply not having the Work Ethic.

Drummond reclassified in order to avoid the possibility of the CBA making athletes need to spend two years at the Collegiate Level instead of one to join the Huskies at UConn. While, at UConn, his statistics and impact were on the level of a fringe first round selection, not that of a lottery pick, let alone, a top prospect. He had the size, length and athleticism, to go with talent, to dominate any big man he faced at the collegiate level, but instead, seemed uninterested in getting possession in order to get easy buckets. He shot less than 30% from the free throw line, and averaged a meager 10/7.6 in 28.8 minutes. He shot 18% from the line during the Huskies final 10 games of the year.

A direct quote from a scout at DX: "He ranks just 76th in points per-40 minutes pace adjusted among the 85 collegiate players in our top-100 prospects ranking, and 47th in PER". As you can see, he is greatly struggling. He was also 22-68 when receiving the ball with his back to the basket. As DraftExpress has made his comparisons, he is either going to be a poor man's Ibaka or current DeAndre Jordan.

Definitely isn't ready to be a full time contributor in the pros unless he is on a veteran team that can whoop him into shape and make sure he works his ass off.

Royce White has anxiety disorder -5 potential

Iowa State wingman Royce White seems to have mental issues. Someone from the university staff told a scout from the Road to Hall of Fame agency that he was suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder, a trigger being the fact of flying. It has been said that White would not be able to play a great role in the NBA because of his fear of planes, it's even possible he could only play games at home.

Despite his huge talent, White seems too risky to be taken in the lottery.

Evan Fournier: Does he have what it takes to play in the NBA, I think not.

He has a very Short wingspan and lack of quickness which creates a large concern defensively. Struggled shooting the ball this season despite good mechanics. From the whole draft Fournier has by far the worst Defense at an extremely low D+ according to scouts. And even though some say his offense has some promise here is what
Draft.net had this to say about Fournier, "Plays below the rim. Below average explosiveness will make finishing at the rim a challenge for him in the NBA ... absolutely needs to improve his three point shot, still too inconsistent to be a threat at the NBA level ... has areas that must be improved upon: he must pass better, shoot with more confidence, finish better. He plays in a french league not as comparable to the NCAA. To me and to many others Evan Fournier is a really risky pick with so many holes in his game and so many questions of if he can translate to a more stripling league.
