Hi everyone ! I would like to make an announcement that I’ve joined @RaptorsGC, and I would like to thank @BucksGG for giving me my first job in the @NBA2KLeague. Thank you for the memories. With that said, I am really excited to work for my home country team. Let’s Go NORTH !.

Shoutout to the 2K league hopeful up at this hour chasing his/her dream. At this point you’ve been through it all in the combine, yet you are grinding to chase that win precentage to prove your worth. You have my respect, and you’re the player I need.

Hypothetical Discussion: Let’s say the combine ended today + we remove all players with a Win% below 51%. Then from Dec 21-28 we run a “second combine”, 25 games minimum to qualify for a position. We extract data from 2nd combine to determine top 250. Is this better ? LMK 🤔.

Come 2K20 I plan to use my YouTube channel to cover the BEST in PRO AM. I will use PRO AM film to breakdown top teams, players, + coaches. Link me your streams + team rosters below. I’ll make VODS + tutorials with YOUR film to showcase to the rest of community + BucksGG 👍.

I understand many prospects play post draft to showcase their talents to scouts. But with retail competition and its community, a lot of headaches can arise for a player. I have found a solution to this issue: . “@BucksGG Amateurs Combine for SZN 4” . Who’d be interested ?.

Plz RT for Combine:. For tomorrow opening day, if you feel like you had an excellent game + you wonder if that game is worthy of top 35. Send me SS of your boxscore and link to film. If I think is good enough as a Top 35 Level game I’ll do a youtube scouting VOD on you.

Plz RT this: . *Here are my early estimates for minimum win percentages to make top 35 per position. (Values might change sightly based on market, I’ll update accordingly). PG : 70% W.SG: 67% W.SF: 65% W .PF: 63% W .C: 63% W . Essentially you need 26/40 AT LEAST.

For aspiring @NBA2KLeague Bigs, Locks, or PFs. Don’t forget to work on your PG and Center skills this offseason. Why ? B/C those positions have the biggest impacts in the Combine. Many season 3 rookies who are locks and PFs got in the pool by playing as Combine PG/C.

Do you want to play for @BucksGG ? With our core of @ReggieNashJr @ARooks + @Plondo_ we have elite level playmaking + ball movement. What we need are world class defenders at the 3+4. I want vocal defensive players that are also intelligent. Players who want to dominate on D.

Last 2 Seasons I’ve been trying my best to help prospects with the Combine. For SZN 4 combine I plan to offer detailed presentations + Q&A on ZOOM. Likely one hour session; 30 minute presentation + 30 minute Q&A. Who would be interested ? . Leave @ in this thread. I’ll revisit.

I get it Combine is tough I will help with the only way I know how. Likely minimum W%: . PG 70% .SG 72% .SF 65% .PF 67% .C 67% . Good luck to those who still battling. Remember you can get to these %s as needed if you need 60 games, 80 games, or even 100.

In the Combine you are playing against #’s. You need to get the math right to stand out above thousands of applicants. The.4 Key stats to Combine success are Win%, EFG%, USG%, + STL%. Details are in the video below. Any questions ? Don’t play it wrong.

Only 8 out 23 league teams had winning records this season. Looking back, it looks like you need at least 3 positions to be above average (B+ tier) to have a chance to end up with a winning record. Some teams are 1 player away but many need 2+. Newcomers should be excited.

83
You are trying to achieve a top 50 stat line for thousands of people trying for your position. You can’t just have great traditional stats, you need OUTLIER advance stats. Understanding this concept will go a long way to helping you achieve your dreams.

Here’s a list of top 35+ winning records of Combine PGs I have seen. Is crzy to think this many good records are out there, but in reality the competition is INTENSE here.

Hey every @NBA2KLeague + @NBA2K player; I fixed shooting in 2K21. I guarantee you can green 75%+ of all your shots with this “DFS” technique. RT + LIKE ! Leave a clip in here if this worked for you, I wanna scout people using DFS👍.

81
For Centers going for Combine please understand your ORTG + DRTG are tracked. Which means your offensive impact via screens and you defensive impact on the hedge + in the paint are all tracked. C pool stat line is a different beast I will need to make a detailed vid on it.

22
83
For league tourney teams understand this. Is totally possible your team makes the finals but lose. THEN your PG wins the loser eligibility spot, leaving your team without a PG. This will likely happen, plan ahead for this.

I have made about 3 detailed Combine tutorials. All vids combined are at 5000 views. That means likely about 1500 of you are watching these. Congrats you are ahead of the field lol . I would also worry if I were you like 9000 others think hero ball gonna work LOLZ . .

From @BucksGG:. Detail study on how to use + take advantage of the NEW 2K20 MyPlayer Builder. How well you use this tool can affect your performance during pre draft. Which in turn can influence your chances to get into SZN 3. Make sure to study up ! .

If you or a friend gets the email for top 200, please tag @sampham20 ASAP. I would like to figure out which players I’ll be scouting extensively on for the next 50+ days. Also leave a screen shot of the email in this thread ? I will follow you immediately. Thanks + Congrats !.

16
78
From @BucksGG:. Nothing beats a star PG PnR to generate points. What I don’t see enough is a PG using something that isn’t a PnR to set up his sharp. I feel 2K20 off ball offense will be OP, which PG will help his sharp take advantage of that first ? Can’t wait to see this.

Proud moment here, 2 @NBA2KLeague personalities in @WoLF74 + @Sportstein getting 100K views on a YouTube video !. For all the other 2K pros out there doing YouTube, we can take over this market if we work together intelligently. Shout out to @NBA2KLab on giving us the chance

76
For those that been grinding qualifiers, I suggest aim to get at least 6-8 wins a day so you can finish early then get some rest before Combine. To me your winning percentage in Combine matters, in qualifying not so much. The initial 100 wins is a filter to test who wants it.

76
Good game-planning + player development are like gold in the 2K league. Seeing too many teams going in with a lineup with no system or motion sets in place. A lot of unique player skills also aren’t utltized properly; they aren’t put in place or given correct usage to do so 🤔.

If you would like to be scouted by me + @bucksGG please make sure to tag me in screen shots of your recent combine performances with twitch link. I don’t want your avg. overall stats, I want to see detail box score of your past performances 👍 . Send this:

76
Here’s a Combine truth. The pool spot is gonna go to the player who knows when he/she needs to win by going high usage. And when they can win by going extremely low usage. You need to be able to get a W carrying bad teammates and play a role when with better teammates.

24
72
Pro Am is heavily skill based competition, while Combine is more math based. Understand this and you will find more combine success 👍.
1

73
Pro Am has comp tiers yes ? Well here are some DRAFT tiers:. 1) Can reject interviews .2) Will accept all interviews .3) Only got 1 interview.4) Gets no interviews . Where you end up really is mostly up to you. SZN three hopefuls plz start taking notes. Don’t become option 4.
5
16
74
I will start my scouting by first looking at guards the first two hours. Feel free to tag your stream right here if you are using a PG or SG build right now in the combine 👍.
57
18
68
In a 20 minute pro am or online game, each player has 6 fouls before fouling out. Relatively speaking that means in a 48 minute game each player will have 14 fouls. Want to control mindless online spamming ? Make fouls and qtr minutes relative.

74
This wasn’t easy to accomplish, but it was rather fun. I am grateful to all my fans, subs, students, + @BucksGG

75
For those aiming to get drafted for SZN 4, my best advice for is this: . Find ways to win consistently vs top competition pre draft. Enter tourneys, 2KL tournaments, + challenge league players to games. You have to prove you can win + is worth the investment of a pick.
2
16
76
Say hello to the #1 PG as of now. If @SplashEdition plays one more game he’s risking 2% decrease in W% for a chance to gain 0.015%. In his shoes, it is bad math to continue since 1 game,or even 5, can’t really change his large sample size of stats from 40 previous games.

PLEASE RT this: . I have gotten confirmation on this. To have your Combine play be considered as an official entry, you must complete 40 games for a single position. If you play 40 as a PG, 40 as a SF, then 35 as a C. That’s 2 entries; one for PG and one for SF.
6
51
72
Please RT for all the Elite players to see: . If you get to 40 games by the end of the 4am window. Show me all your stats, I will let you know if you should keep playing or stop. A few players made the mistake of keep going + ruined their chances to get in pool last year.

48
69
From @BucksGG: . Dribble success in 2K20 will only come if you rewire your stick skills to suit the new mehchanics. Watch this video to learn what kind of fundamental changes you should make with your approach to attack w/ the dribble better:.

16
71
Tomorrow I will release the PF Combine stats tutorial. A lot of you are gonna be surprised. The PF spot is the best way into the league. B/C you can get an elite stat line playing low usage or high usage ball. PF is where two way versatility will shine the brightest.

13
71
When draft eligible players don’t get an interview from a team, either they’ve been playing the game wrong OR been doing a bad job showcasing their body of work. ALL players aspiring for SZN 3, you can learn from these players who are about to fail SZN 2 before it even starts.
1
12
69
Please RT for everyone: . Some of you will reach the big 20 game bench mark today. When you get there please send me your SS. I want to see who’s on pace to be likely top 35. At 20 games if you have more then 7Ls you are in huge trouble for a top spot.
18
30
69
The league has 23 starting Center spots, but honestly probably less than 5 is available in season 4. If you plan to get in the league as a 5, that’s probably the toughest way in.
7
6
68
With @NBA2KLab not collecting stats :( Best I can do is give you guys a basic sense of some of the minimum W% I have seen per position in regards of making Top 35 in that category:. PG: 72%.SG: 70% .SF: 65% .PF: 65% .C: 68% . PG, SG, + C % has a huge spike vs last year.
