I like using the Washington Wizards. Thats a team on the rise with Wall and McGee. Both rookies I think that will be monsters later on in the game, especially Wall.
My third year in franchise with Wizards Wall was over a 94 player rating. I barely even did any work with him. He is one of the best scores in the game to me, work on his jump shot medium range though.
His layups and dunks are like Derrick Rose he always finishes strong. Mcgee is a huge guy in the game and half near blocks any shot near him haha. He is also a potential offensive weapon if you use him right, pick and rolls and screens.
Also Nets might be a tea mto try with Derrick Williams as the PG now. Hornets, I know they have great players but the team still sucks in the game for some reason is the Knicks. Maybe even try Mavs, they don't have a good team but they have good chemistry and got Dirk.
Pick a team with atleast one star player or 1 really young good player to build the franchise around. Don't pick a team like Spurs as they are a old team, all players are over 28 just about. I would still go with the Wizards.
Or if anything do a fantasy draft and go that way, pick your own players. You won't have a perfect team from the git go you have to build it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
