are the 15-16 players released in may

WIS posts new seasons of players whenever they can fit it in around working on the games they actually care about. It's usually within a couple weeks from the end of the NBA regular season, but not always. After the initial player release, there is also a Defensive "boost" given to the players who make All-Defensive teams, after those are announced.

I want to build a team around '15-'16 Steph Curry tomorrow: 50-45-90, 30pts/game, 402 made 3s, WTF??? And all this in only 34.2 min/game!

Also, please give Draymond 100% at Center!

Here's a challenge for trivia buffs:

Steph Curry broke the season 3-pt makes record yesterday on February 27th. When was the last time that an NBA season record for a major stat was set in February? ...or, what was the fewest number of games needed for a player to break an NBA single season record? (I wonder how many games Wilt needed to break the then current record for points that year he averaged 50.)

So I felt like doing some light research regarding Wilt's scoring record. It turns out, Wilt entered the league and started setting scoring records. 1961-62 Being his third season, it was his 3rd time breaking the previous record. Anyways, in 1960-61, Wilt scored 3033 points. In 1961-62, he scored 4029 points. Assuming steady pace (outside of, you know, that 100 point game), Wilt would have broken the record around game 60 (back then there were only 80 games/season). Philly's 60th game that season was played on Feb. 4, 1962.

Interesting....thanks for sharing this! February 27th was game #58 for the Dubs, so Curry might have actually edged Wilt on this one too!

Just realized Curry's new 3pt record (402) is almost exactly 1/10th of Wilt's total points in '61-62 (4029), LOL. Curry's previous record was 286, so the ratio of difference is greater: 402/286 > 4029/3033. Anyway, WOW.

Gonna say $8.8m on Curry... Which is ridiculous for 2700 minutes but... Tier1 usg, 63% efg, 402 3s (55% perimeter), 15ish crb, sub 13 tov%, 24ish ast% after the wis effect, and I would expect his def to be about the same as last year

If 15-16 Curry were coached in the sim to play fewer games at greater minutes, higher usg, how high could his ppg get to? 40? (31.7 pts/36min IRL)

Draymond got screwed. But this does kind of validate what I've been saying about people who put him as their all-nba center.

Players are out. Nice.

Very well done on the timing this year, WIS. Much appreciated.

Wow. Lower minutes but still, the best Durant season.

And Whiteside goes from the best 1000 minute big man to the best 2000 minute big man, unless you're looking for a scorer like half-time Shaq.

Worst Wade season.
Biyombo might start to get drafted.
Great Ed Davis season - over 36 creb%. I'd play him at SF, where he's 98% effective.
Nice backup seasons from Sefolosha, Iguodala, Ginobili, and Bledsoe.
Asik would be a fixture if he could play defense.
Cole Aldrich did it again.
What is a Clint Capela?

Giannis isn't 100% at PG, which is kinda like Draymond at this point. But for him to not be 100% at SG, is just dumb.

Chandler Parsons isn't a SG either?

Ummmm.. Gonna have A lot of fun putting together new teams for a while...

Marvin Williams? Who knew..

Draymond works very nicely in the draft leagues
