NBA Live 18 Franchise Mode: Best players to draft to rebuild your team

The best players to draft to rebuild or add depth to any team is the Hybrid Wing at the PF spot. There a a few in each draft and normally the don't have a project round or pick next to them on the draft screen they normally rank between 75 to 79. I have gotten them in the second round be sure to look at the skill grades and their development up grade points are normally quick which means they get a bit more upgrade points than most rookies . Here is the reason why they are the best, first a Hybrid Wing PF has the height to compete at the 4 and 5 positions they are great on the pick and roll defensive switch because the also have the speed and on ball defense skills to stay with most guards in the league and they also can play SF with no problem . Their ball handling skills are normally in the mid 70's which make them prefect to drive past defending bigs who find themselves up by the 3pt line and when at the 5 they draw opposing Centers away from the basket easy layups for you on pick and roll with a guard and PF. Also there 3pt ratings are normally in the mid to high 70's which means the pick and pop is always and good options and they can hit the open 3 at a pretty good clip. Almost all of there skill set are in the 70's and the cost is cheap to upgrade them so in no time you can have them in the 80' including rebounds, blocks and Steals so imagine a team of Antetokounmpos on your team that can shoot the 3. Also I find it a good formula for SG's with a 6'5"/6'6" Hybrid Wing SF at the 2 spot they are usually stronger and have post skill in the low 70s, 71-74 which makes them Ideal to post up smaller guards they still have the speed to keep up with most SG and PG in the game and their dunking and layups are already in the 80's they can still go toe to toe with big SF because of their speed and strength once again their skill set are normally in the mid 70's so upgrading is no problem to get them to the mid 80's in a season time. And last but not least at the point guard position A play maker Shooting guard works best Why? You may ask well first of all you get the height 6'4" to 6'6" but they have enough speed to keep up with PG's and normally have go On ball defense skills they can also finish at the rim the things you have to upgrade is Passing and Court Vision and some times dribbling which all is pretty cheap in upgrade points if you draft one in the low to mid 70's overall by the second season you will have your PG of the future think Markell Fultz, De'Aron Fox or John Wall. The first two things you upgrade is 3pt which is usually 71 to 74 get it to a 77 and the defense has to stay honest and the dribbling which is normally a In the mid 70's out of the draft into the low 80's and you will be able to work the defense with pick and rolls with no problems the passing is in the low 70's with them but that's a workable passing ratings till you up grade which is cheap to do. So with this draft or trade formula you should be able to compete with the CEL, GS and the other super teams in no time . Go build your dynasty.
