Solius' contract is expiring, and I don't think he's sticking around
Also the way the "real players" draft works is that their initial rating is based on their rookie season (another way of doing it is purely by draft pick number, but that would be much worse). I guess Paul George was a late(r) bloomer, because he's not the highest rated. Here's the current expected top 15:
There's also a "real player determinism" slider that goes from 0-100, where 0 is completely disconnected from their real life development and 100 is completely. I've got it set to 0 right now, so anything can happen. So right now Josh Smith and Josh Childress are the 2nd and 3rd best real players in the league, behind Kevin Durant and head of Carmelo Anthony.
Oh btw, Kevin Durant's contract is
also expiring, but he'll almost certainly re-sign (and probably add $15 million extra to the Wizards' payroll).
