IT'S HERE!  For all of you who have been waiting to see all those new rookies
on their new teams ever since the NBA draft - here's your chance.  This is a
second executable for NBA95 that incorporates many of the rookies into the 
game.  I felt that I was fair and just in my evaluation of the rookies and  
their abilities, as well as for my prediction of their statistical 
performances for the upcoming year.  The "feel" of many of the teams has 
changed with the addition of some of the new players - these rookies will
definitely make an impact on the NBA this next year.

TO RUN:
Unzip NBA95R10.ZIP into your NBA95 directory and type ROOKIES to run.

                                          be picked up by someone and Boston 
                                          needs a quality shooting guard.)

                                         happen after the lockout ends)
        GOLDEN STATE
JOE SMITH (PF)         for  David Wood

                                           draft so, although undrafted, 
                                           Donald is good enough to fill in)

Well, as you can see, this was NO SMALL TASK!  I set the roster order to how
I predict that they will be next year. If you disaggree - TOUGH!  No, no just
kidding, just change the order yourself if your opinion varies with mine.

NOTE:   DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT reset the rosters to DEFAULT in the SET ROSTERS
        screen.  It will severly mess things up!  Think you can handle that?  
        I knew you could!

I included the three additional undrafted rookies (Scotty Thurman, Donald 
Williams and James Forrest) because I felt that they were just too good to be
left out.  Someone will definitely pick this guys up and if you think it will
be someone else, just trade them yourself.

Well, that's about it.  I hope you enjoy this patch as much as I do;  even 
more so, I hope you appreciate the effort (all those hours, oh) that I put
into it.  I can now peel my butt off this chair and finally get some sleep!

Special Thanks to:
ELECTRONIC ARTS for making such a wonderful (and time consuming) game!
The NBA and all its players, without whom none of this would be possible! :)

Also Don't Forget about
LUTZ VAN PATTEN for his Jordan, Barkley, David Robinson patch
JOSE de LEON for his nifty player editor

ANY COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, GRIPES(hope not), OR FEEDBACK OF ANY KIND ARE GREATLY
