Would anybody be interested in me putting together a NT depth chart going into next season so everyone can see where all our guys are at? If so how far should I go by position, 5, 10, more? (please not more...)

5-deep, if it covers all the tactical variations, should suffice I'd have thought.

BTW, Coates is in max GS again.

Sounds like a great idea, I noticed you've called up Elmo so I'm very interested in where he is in the depth charts!

And 5 should be fine.

Alrighty, well here goes guys. These are my opinions on our 5 best players position by position, overall versatility was a large factor, some players might do better than others in certain situations- but appear below them on the depth chart. I'll give position, rank, manager, and a short bio for each player. I'll be ranking 6 different positions: PG, SG, Combo Guard, SF, PF, and C. I'll start off with the PGs here and do the others in other posts over the next couple of days.

Everyone feel free to make their opinions known!

First off: Connor Marshall(19583198)- Vottem Cowboys- Connor is ranked separately from all of his fellow players because of what a unique player he is, already a big-time contributor at the NT level Connor is continuing to improve, and the sky is the limit for this one!

Point Guards
1. Stuart Madelin(18059509)- Los Mikotos- Stuart has seemingly come out of nowhere this season to become England's premier PG, but anyone who has been following knows that he has been training hard for a very long time and finds it no surprise he's at the top of the heap.
2. Barry Bains(16739864)- L Dogs- Originally seen as a stop-gap until players with more potential could take over at the PG spot Barry has surpassed what many believed was possible for a superstar potential player. He brings a huge work ethic to the team whenever he suits up.
3. Shatrughan Palit(21070543)- Sheffield Arrows- Though at one point young Shatrughan had taken over the top PG spot he has been slacking a bit this season and seen Stuart pass him up recently. However he is still an excellent young player with room for more improvement as the Arrows fight for promotion to the EBBL.
4. Mark Simpson(11994830)- FC Warriors- The first of 3, yes 3!, Warrior guards appearing on these depth charts Mark is a hardened veteran who really brings it on the defensive end.
5. Neil Wright (18059772)- Stella Rossa Japiqia- Neil began his training as a potential rival to Stuart, but has gradually fallen behind as the seasons have worn on, now he is a step behind our other top PGs and hopefully only an option in emergency situations.

Combo Guards
1. James Gascoigne(18059625)- FC Warriors- Our second Warrior, James is the premier member of the bunch. At only 26 years old James has been a factor on the NT since his 23 year old season. Expect him to continue to develop as he fills our role of the ultimate role player.
2. Brendan Mackay(11994978)- Cleethorpes Conquistadors- A combo guard before people knew there was such a thing Brendan is a great all around player who's always ready to fill a perimeter role.
3. Terrell Hongs(16275465)- Tatatallfella- The best shooting of our collection of combo guards, Terrell has hung on as a fringe NT member for several seasons. We know he'll always be in top shape and ready to contribute.
4. Peter Torres(9441696)- Thalwil Lakers- You may remember Torres from the not so distant past, and the fact is even at his advanced age he still is a more than quality player who has a chance to contribute in very specific situations.
5. Ivar Milar(18060001)- Manchester Giants- Though he's never made it onto the NT Ivar is a very quality guard with a unique skill set.

Is this still happening?

Yep, just even more slowly, probably get them put together and posted on Sunday :)

Shooting Guards
1. Alan Sharpling(16213916)- SuperHands- Admit it, you all knew who was coming in first for the shooting guards, Alan Sharpling is one of the worlds premier perimeter players. He has guided the SuperHands to the EBBL final this season and hopes to be giving the B3 a run next season.
2. Graeme Lonbay(11994695)- mustekalat- The definition of consistency, Graeme is just a solid all around guy to have on the roster. He'll never be pushing Alan for the top of these rankings, but you know he'll be in the discussion whenever a perimeter callup is needed.
3. Darren Reeves(13411043)- Cambois Donkeys- The only player on any of the depth charts who can approach Alan's outside scoring ability Darren is a high volume scorer.
4. Robbie Harris(16739742)- FC Warriors- The third and final Warrior! Robbie is the scorer of the bunch, he spent time training with James, but discovered early on that the didn't have the constitution to bang down low with Gascoigne, so since then he has fine tuned his skills as a shooter. Because of this he and the other Warrior guards complement each other excellently and form a dangerous trio indeed.
5. James Stanway(9850917)- BB Chicago Bulls- The old man of the group, Stanway's days as a NTer may be coming to a close, but we'll continue to remember his solid contributions for seasons to come.

Actually probably won't get to the others today, but they are still coming!
