Timberwolves – Big Winners of the NBA Draft 2017

Thursday was a big day for fans of NBA and NBA 2K17. On draft night, the Philadelphia 76ers won the draft by trading for the No. 1 pick to take Markelle Fultz. The Lakers took Lonzo Ball with No. 2 pick. However, almost everyone agrees that Minnesota Timberwolves were the biggest winners last night.

The Wolves sent Kris Dunn, 2016 first-round pick, shooting guard Zach LaVine and the No. 7 pick to Chicago for Butler and the No. 16 pick. Jimmy Butler, who excels on both ends of the floor, will reunite with his former coach Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota, and joins a core of Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins that may rank among the best in the league within two years.

Minnesota used the No. 16 pick to take lanky - but - skilled Creighton big man Justin Patton, while Chicago used No. 7 on Arizona big Lauri Markkanen. The gap between those two players in no way makes up for the gap between Butler and the players the Wolves dealt to get him.

Tips for Dribble Moves in NBA 2K17

In my last article I talked about ISO, today I bring some tips for dribbling. In NBA 2K17, dribbling may be the most tricky part to master for lots of gamers. Dribbling controls are quite complex with over a dozen different combos to master. This skill is a vital technique of the gameplay that may takes you days or even weeks to practice.

Youtuber “Daryus P” brings the basic tutorial of dribbling. This is one of the best basic tutorial videos, because he adds a hand cam into the video that you can see more details about the controller operations.

In basketball, a crossover dribble in which you fake one way, go the other and leave your defender in the dust, this is called an Ankle Breaker. Many gamers have made different Ankle Breaker combo tutorials. Youtuber “Daryus P” and “ShakeDown2012” bring their tutorials.

What Is ISO in NBA 2K17

When talking about NBA 2K17, gamers sometimes speak of “ISO”. But what is ISO? ISO is a short form for Isolation. Isolation Play is often used near the end of the game. With 10 seconds left on the clock and a team needing a basket, many coaches will just give the ball to their best scorer and ask the star to make something happen.

Isolation plays take advantage of a team's best player. Scorers want to score, and ISO plays give them the opportunities they want. But these plays can also exploit matchups with weaker players, if a team doesn't have a good defender at a certain position or lacks the size and speed to stop a top scorer or the key defender is in trouble with injury or foul, when you have players as talented as Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant on your roster, you're going to score points off of isolation plays.


However, there's a significant downside to isolation ball. Teams that become too reliant on a single player can become stagnant on offense, one-dimensional, and too vulnerable if they are facing a defender like Memphis forward Tony Allen. It requires the ball handler to shoot quickly and perfectly to make ISO really efficient. Click for more: https://www.mmogah.com/news/nba-2k17/what-is-iso-in-nba-2k17 

Paul George Plans to Leave the Franchise in the summer of 2018

The Indiana Pacers star Paul George, who appears on the cover of NBA 2K17, is one of the NBA players that has been mentioned much by fans these days. Today he has finally informed the Indiana Pacers that he plans to become a free agent next summer and prefers to sign with the Lakers once he is a free agent.

Now, the latest news is that the Pacers began shopping George's services this weekend, including a phone call to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers are willing to enter into trade talks for George without any assurances he will commit to a long-term deal in Cleveland and Cleveland is confident its championship culture and overall atmosphere could sway George to want to stay after playing out the 2017-18 season on the final year of his deal. It is said that Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving will be the two assets that would grab the Pacers’ attention in a potential swap. But it is hard to agree to part with these two great players without any verbal commitment from George that he will stay in Cleveland beyond 2018.

How to Shoot Perfect Shots in NBA 2K17

In NBA 2K17, one thing people has noticed is that it is difficult to get  green releases, now we will share a method that allows you to become a better shooter.

Whenever you’re controlling your player on the floor, you will notice a blue circular bar underneath your character. As you move further away from the hoop, you will notice that the blue bar will decrease in length. This is because that blue circle represents your range, when you try to make a shot from a long range, you will find it pretty hard to make a shot and get a 3-point score.

Now let’s try to shoot. You will see a white bar increasing to cover the blue bar, you need to fill up the blue bar with the white bar all the way to the end. However, that’s not easy to do because once the white bar reaches the end of the blue bar, it will quickly fall back. So, you need to time it perfectly such that you hit the release button at the exact moment the white bar hits the end of the bottom blue bar. If you hit the button at the exact moment, you will see the bar turns green, this indicates you made a perfect shot. Remember, you’d better use the right stick for the shot to get consistent shots at the basket. Click for more: https://www.mmogah.com/news/nba-2k17/how-to-shoot-perfect-shots-in-nba-2k17 

The Warriors against the Bulls in NBA 2K17

2017 is the year of the Warriors. Throughout this season, the Golden State Warriors made themselves ranked among the greatest teams in NBA history. Are they taking the place of the 1996 Bulls to be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)? According to the Warriors’ performance, some people think the Warriors pull ahead of the Bulls by a slim margin. NBA 2K used NBA 2K17 to make a simulation to pit the 2017 Warriors against the 1996 Bulls. The conclusion is that the Warriors won the series 60% of the time. The Warriors didn’t have an answer for MJ, but the Bulls couldn’t match the firepower of the Warriors.

But many people say results of such sort of comparisons depend on the rules under which the game is played. It would make the Bulls the favorite to play under the rules of hand-checking. But in the no-handcheck era, the Warriors' current roster is much better suited and would have some serious speed and shooter advantages at several key positions.
