I'm getting ready to announce some news on DDS:PB 2017 and I was hoping to get a little bit of help from the community. In this post there is a link to an Excel spreadsheet which lists every player drafted in the last 40 years and has a set of data. There's two things I would really like some help on though if anyone is willing to take on the task in order to improve the reality of historical play. There is a column for country and columns titled Jersey1-Jersey5.
I've defaulted all of the players to USA and jerseys to 0 but the historical play would be even better if we had proper info there. The data is self-explanatory. We just need the name of the country for foreign born players and Jersey1-5 should be any numbers they wore with 1 being their most recognizable number. That way Michael Jordan has the chance to be 23 and if that's already taken then maybe 45 or even 12! A great reference for this data is basketball-reference. Here's a sample page

The only thing I ask is that you DO NOT reorder the list or add/delete players. I need them in the same location to copy and paste back. You will see many lines that have nothing but blanks - just ignore them but leave those lines as is
If you're interested in helping out, even just a little bit I would appreciate it. I think a good idea would be to post in this thread that you are covering from players 1-200 so that someone else can come in and take 201-475 or whatever. When you're done just email me the file back at support-at-wolverinestudios.com and I will merge it in.
Thank you to anyone willing to spend a little bit of time on this. It will only make the next version even better than it is shaping up to be.
